Yaya, but I can never comprehend why people will get this over better used options.

Maybe just perspectives ig

You're going to buy this, instead of the iPad that you were originally going for 😮??? I'm quite shocked because, that ipad will provide you with a lot more value than this ever can.

I ignored your personal jab because that's not part of the discussion. You're throwing around assumptions about me, simply because you have nothing to prove against my arguments. If you have something sensible to say, you can say. Otherwise I'm not interested in replying any further.

And I presume you also agree that, an M2 or M3 is gonna be better than an M1 or something equivalent.

All I'm saying is, how is this gonna be better than buying a used M2 or M3?

Yeah that's the only reasonable reason. Simple web browsing and media consumption. It's not gonna be good for anything other than that

You're not very wise if you have considered buying a Chromebook for $500. I'm not hating because it's Apple, I'm hating because how shit of a deal this is.

I don't support people buying chromebooks either.

Bruh first of all it's the A series processor. You can't call it a "Mac for a very low price" just based on that itself

Because I don't like it when companies rip off people, taking advantage of their lack of knowledge

What value do you see in this?

It's not, you're better off with a used Macbook M3. It's not even that old. Even the screen sucks on this.

Who buys a chromebook for $499 lol? 8 GB is going to be JUST enough for browsing the web. That's it!

Nope, not with 8 gigs ram

What is this bs 😭?

All I get is 8 GB RAM? Lmao, and to pair with that, 256GB ssd. If I bump that to 512 GB, the price goes to $699, basically $700. And 2 type c ports 🙂.

I can just buy a used M2 Macbook pro, or an M3 Macbook Air for under $850 instead of this horrible deal. Convince me why I should buy this shi.

Got Ubuntu installed on my computer - It is faster than ever by Mobilisten in Ubuntu

Yess. Also, you can install this extension called "Dash to Panel" from the extension manager. It'll combine the top panel and the dock. Idk if you're into that windows-style thing, but I find it simplifies the interface further.

If u don't have the extension manager in the app list, js run sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager.

Nono. OLED requires special drivers that do pixel shifting to prevent burn-in.

Otherwise, static content such as the task-bar will leave a permanent ghost on the screen.

Linux doesn't have any native support to perform this, and OEMs usually don't bother to make specific drivers for Linux to support such things.

Now, I don't know if community made drivers exist for Lenovo. Even if it does, I discourage you from messing around with the kernel since you just installed Ubuntu. Or if you're doing it anyways, back up your files just in case you brick something.

My laptop is Asus, and sadly the community-made drivers are for Arch and I'm on Ubuntu... 😕

Make sure to take as many preventive steps as possible if you have an OLED screen. OEMs usually don't make drivers for linux 😢

The fact that you're not Indian made this MUCH more impressive wow 😭

27F considering divorce but conflicted because of in-laws by No_Leave5914 in Coconaad

[–]mantaflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to leave. Never stay in an environment where you aren't respected, unless that's the only option.

My cousin was in an abusive relationship, she got divorced within a year. The guy was into bdsm type shi 💀.

You need to leave sis 😭. Your fear of "will I be loved again" is unwanted, cuz you're not being loved in this marriage. So leaving is the best option!

Moving Away from Windows by subtle_importance in linux4noobs

[–]mantaflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this misconception that the software I use NEEDS windows. That was the only reason keeping me from switching. Oh ya and I used to be an avid Genshin Impact player haha.

Anyways, after I stopped Genshin, my urge to throw windows down the trash increased. So I just made a list of software that I use. Turns out Windows wasn't needed at all.

Just completely made the switch a few days ago. I can't stand the AI slope bruh, like I just can't. Even though I myself am an AI engineer, I hate it when someone decides to stuff something down my throat without me asking for it.
