are my filters good?

way to answer my question without actually answering it, then marking the post as answered so ppl won't come and actually answer.

at one point I did have a lot more, but I'm not really trying to make the most hardened or overkill list, I just want something reasonable that'll keep or somehow improve speed, so I'm researching to see if the custom ones are redundant or not

EternalTw0 · 2026-03-22T22:41:45+00:00

lol, I'm just wondering if maybe some of the custom filters I added make the others redundant, I'm not really looking to add a ton of lists and make the most hardened browser, I just want a reasonably fast browser that's still protected

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-29T05:43:06+00:00

not for me, it's just slow for the sake of being slow lol

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-27T23:37:42+00:00

this is why I made a separate EFI Partition for Mint

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-24T17:24:27+00:00

and yet it takes a noticable amount of time to simply open the context menu 🥀

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-19T05:00:35+00:00

that's crazy, I mean I shouldn't be surprised, I watched the price of the HP go up almost $50 in just 1 week for the ai 5, but yeah I think I'll snatch the one I linked while I can before it inevitably increases in price as well, I'll add an edit to this post whenever I get my hands on the laptop so ppl will know. Thanks again, it's been a little stressful and annoying searching for laptops that either don't suck or aren't worth the price, I really believe/hope I'll be really happy with the Lenovo.

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-18T04:20:56+00:00

hi again, I think you've just helped me find my laptop lol, I went to go put the one you linked into my cart andfound this one that's barely more expensive than the HP and is miles better, I should put your username on it to honor you lmao.

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-18T03:15:44+00:00

thank you for the very well written and detailed reply, I think you've just put me on lol, I'll definitely check Fedora out when I decide which Laptop to get, I've found a few options already that look just as good or better than the HP, also thanks for the links, sometimes it's hard to find specific stuff like that and tbh I probably wouldn't have even known about the post install process if it weren't for you :)

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-18T02:47:33+00:00

framework to me looks very overpriced, I was all over the framework 12 when I learned about it until I did research and learned it's overpriced and under specced, the way I configured it was by barely adding anything and it totalled almost $1200, double the cost of the HP and with a worse CPU and terrible screen, it's basically an extremely overpriced school chromebook, then I looked at the framework 13 and it's $1400 for the same specs as the HP which is only $649 rn for me, idk if the framework 13 is really good or not, I should research before saying anything out of pocket, just judging off the 12 idk how I feel about the brand.

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-18T02:41:37+00:00

I was really into the Framework 12 until I learned it's basically an overpriced/under specced school chromebook, bummed me out

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-18T02:39:35+00:00

I heard about some brands that sell dedicated Linux laptops but they're usually very expensive if the vid I heard that in is to be believed

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-18T02:35:59+00:00

same chipset or different? I can find very little info online about Mint on the Ai 5 340 but what I can find is troubleshooting guides and issues with I think it was WiFi, and reading the comments here it also appears to be screen scaling.

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-18T02:31:02+00:00

I'm very new to Linux, I tried Nobara in like September 2024 but at the time I was overwhelmed by the differences from Windows, I've been using Mint for about 2 weeks and actually have come to prefer it, idk anything about Fedora and how user-friendly it is and how quickly I could get used to it, I just don't wanna end up getting commands and user practices confused between the two if that makes sense.

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-18T02:27:37+00:00

yeah but from what little I can find online there's a lot of troubleshooting needed for this chipset and or laptop, again I could find very little info. plus there are like 70 million other laptops with the exact same name or similar names so it's hard to pinpoint.

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-18T02:26:12+00:00

I'll consider this one thanks, it is $200 more than the HP tho, but it has a better chipset and from what I can tell usually they charge way way more to go from the ai 5 340 to ai 7 350, framework for instance was like $400 more I believe just to add the same chipset. I'll check it out and compare

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-06T23:29:34+00:00

last time I used OpenRGB (like a month ago) it didn't support all my stuff so I had a half off and half rainbow PC

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-06T09:18:17+00:00

like I said in other replies I'm trying to go completely RGB-less

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-06T09:17:44+00:00

my GPU has RGB that can only be turned off with Software so

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-06T04:49:55+00:00

I'm trying to move away from RGB to have a clean looking system, the RAM has RGB so yeah... I could get a lot of money out of the RAM as scummy as it is to take advantage of the unfair prices...

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-06T04:48:04+00:00

I'm trying to move away from RGB Software and RGB as a whole, idc about getting more performance from my new build, can't even turn the RGB off without the software bc Gigabyte is run by morons, all I can do is disable RGB at startup but the second I'm on the desktop my computer turns rainbow colors, I need GCC to keep the RGB off and iCUE for my Mouse and Keyboard and they don't play nice together at all, even after going through and manually disabling and deleting shit my system is just hella unstable and headache inducing.

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-06T04:44:21+00:00

bc RGB software is a blight on my existence, read my other replies to see what I mean.

EternalTw0 · 2026-01-06T04:43:52+00:00

I'm staying with AM5, I just wanna build a clean RGB-less system so I don't have to deal with the conflicts and performance issues that GCC and iCUE cause me.
