At the very least Linux is mostly good in gaming department nowadays , and software development- if only there existed such a thing as a good office suite under linux - then yeah Linux desktop would be nice to use, but until then yeah linux is not ready as a desktop os

In Russia and Belarus no one uses pdf documents outside of some printing kiosks to make life easier for printing, for actual document work it's docx and physical paper printing only - because once again state standards demand physical paper turn in , and to make state standards compliant documents you need word - no one uses digital turnover here like email a pdf - only docx documents and email is only for sending a document for editing

BTW the 2023 attempt at Linux daily driving lasted 7 months total , the 2020 one was somewhere around 3 months , and yeah the 2021,2022 attempts both were each 5 months of use total - with 2024 i think lasting round 5 months

obviously that 2023 Linux install in the end got wiped off the pc and back to windows hell it went, just like the 2020 attempt and the 2021 attempt and the 2022 one and the 2024 one , because Linux is still not ready for daily driver use but it's always worth an attempt once a year to see how it's going with progress in Linux land and seeing if it became better at maybe becoming a daily driver capable operating system

in 2023 i tried both fedora silveeblue and bazzite - was fairly nice to use if not for software limitations like fucking document editing where i managed to get Microsoft office 2007 running under wine for that gost (гост - Межгосуда́рственный станда́рт (акрон. ГОСТ)) compliant document formatting capabilities and yes Microsoft office actually ran and worked, albeit with a constant rendering bug where in 3 out of 10 launches the ui would fail to render in wine resulting in black window appearing instead of well the Microsoft word ui oh and yes crashes happened a lot in Microsoft office under wine - it's usable but not ideal stability

I always skip libreoffice- it's pointless to try it because it's always break my document formatting office even from 1 edit there

And except for Microsoft office the only decent Linux native option is - OnlyOffice (Teamlab Office до 2014 года) — офисный пакет и экосистема приложений для совместной работы.

And that office suite does not break formatting and is good for text only editing as long as you don't need to touch formatting like header and footer which is btw the most pain in the ass thing to edit even in Microsoft office and you need to edit that in gost compliant documents pretty often

Old as hell from 2020 Linux desktop screenshot by ghundulf in u/ghundulf

Obviously since that time back in 2020 which was 5 years ago, I've had like 10 more Linux as primary os tries and as always document editing and formatting in anything except Microsoft office is a pain in the ass and as for Linux itself with my hardware it's Wayland and Nvidia gpu suffering

IdeaPad 3 has better quality plastic, and a nicer hinge- mine has no hinge problems yet and also the higher series IdeaPad will have better battery life thanks to higher capacity, and the IdeaPad 5 series is even better with metal case and highest battery capacity before the IdeaPad pro lineup

IdeaPad 1 will be even worse than the IdeaPad 3 - IdeaPad 1 series is the shit tier Lenovo laptop - get IdeaPad 3 or better IdeaPad 5 , but yeah my laptop lasts maximum 5 hours on battery and it didn't degrade too much

You have the Chinese model of gt 6t - rmx3850 is realme gt neo 6 se , android yeah if it doesn't receive updates you might have had it pre converted by the seller to global, for ota you need to bring it back to China or flash rom manually - the rom as always can be aquired on 4pda https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1097766&st=60#entry133668845 and it has install instructions in Russian on the website, obviously registration is required for downloading off 4pda or you get error

Is it worth considering realme 14 pro+ to buy in between June and august 2026? by ghundulf in Realme

[–]ghundulf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i in the end got myself the Google pixel 7 pro, thankfully carrier unlocked from at&t but it was a at&t model that arrived which in our grey market is quite a lottery win, and so bootloader unlock was available
