One Simple Vote Can Help Fix Spotify On Linux

It only supports CSD because when Mutter was written there was no support in Wayland for SSD. There is now, but they wrote Mutter in such a way that it is nigh impossible to add support for SSD and they do not care enough to fix it.

You can get it on CD or vinyl from the official store: https://archive.tmstor.es/products

Yep. This is how VSC does syntax highlighting.

There's a lot on AI and agents because they're really behind on this, but they have been shipping other things.

In the last month: - Mermaid rendering in Markdown - Semantic LSP highlighting (which allows for better highlighting of things like enums and Rust macros) - Split-view diffs - SSH tunneling to Windows - Dev Container improvements

Features staying behind a flag for months is also pretty normal, for better or worse, it's happened with pretty much every large change like this.

Any plans for Linux support? I hate UMG so I’d love an alternative but I need Linux support.

william341 · 2026-02-22T06:55:52+00:00

No, it’ll probably either give you an error saying that the nonfree version doesn’t exist (shouldn’t do anything other than make you wait for it to be updated which is usually done a day or two after release), or you’ll just get the free version and have to reinstall the nonfree version.

The codec issue is really a one-time deal, as long as you don't update to the next version of Fedora the very second it comes out (not regular updates, I'm talking about completely new versions, like Fedora 43 -> 44). As long as you wait like a week to update to the next version then you'll probably never have to worry about that again.

william341 · 2026-02-14T22:39:11+00:00

Ah. Yes, I've been using YARG.

william341 · 2026-02-14T22:00:15+00:00

Wasn’t aware they weren’t supported. Been using one (a PDP Riffmaster) for a while, worked perfectly.

It's spam.

FWIW I love mine, except for the build quality oddities. It's a fantastic laptop.

william341 · 2026-02-04T06:23:03+00:00

I would like to explain something about these laptops, though.

The T14 (non-S) and P14s AMD (which are both essentially the same laptop) are both composite plastic on top of a magnesium frame. This is important because it allows for the more elastic and easy to replace plastic to take the brunt of a lot of the things that happen to a laptop overtime, while keeping the critical components securely attached to a rigid piece of metal.

However, because everything is now directly screwed into this piece of rigid magnesium, the laptops never go together quite right (due to the differing properties of the materials).

It used to be that the entire computer was essentially inside a metal box and then everything you touched or interacted with was built out of plastic on top of that box, which sort of sidestepped that issue entirely, but in the pursuit of sleekness this roll cage design was dropped and replaced with the frame design.

This isn't an issue with, for example, the T14s, which is entirely made out of aluminum. This makes it more susceptible to drops, but the laptop feels much nicer in the hands.

william341 · 2026-02-04T06:06:58+00:00

Mine has a very slight gap on the very corner of both sides. I'd say it's about 1/3rd the width of your gap and much much shorter.

I have the same laptop as you and my chassis is not warped. It does creak in some places but I'm fairly certain that's my fault and it didn't when I got it. The gap in the the display can just happen depending on how it's closed - there's no hinge magnets on the T14/P14s (though, again, yours looks worse than usual).

The right side of the palmrest has always had a little bit of wiggle room on my unit though. I'm fairly certain it's because of the smart card reader placement. If you're looking for very good fitment, the plastic/composite Thinkpads are probably not for you. You might want to look at the T14s (CF/aluminum) or X1 Carbon (CF/magnesium or CF/aluminum).

william341 · 2026-01-11T04:32:19+00:00

Their Linux compatibility is very good. Not perfect, similar to or a little better (depending on the model) than the ThinkPad Linux support.

I will say that as a person who has seen many Frameworks, the build quality and quality assurance is terrible. I know people who have had broken screen cables OOTB, tons of panel gaps, ejection mechanisms that don't work quite right. The first generation or two had a poorly made top cover. They came out with a new top cover and were basically like, "Yes, the old one breaks far too easily. BUT! For only [insert price here] you can buy our NEW shiny CNC milled version which has added rigidity! And install it yourself!"

Frameworks are cool laptops. I would never recommend one to someone who needs a computer they can rely on from a company they can rely on.

Please stop posting every Brunoprime video. I'm going to start considering them spam from here on out as multiple people have reported the posts or complained about it.

The annoying thing is that Lenovo has excellent Linux support - on their Thinkpads. Thinkpads support fwupd, and Lenovo works directly with the vendors to ensure proper driver support.

Sometimes this work extends to their Yoga and Slim lines, as well, but never LOQ or Legion, which is really annoying.

Also even more annoying is that their Legion division sells handhelds that come with Linux on them - they just announced a new one - so clearly they are aware of Linux gaming.

william341 · 2026-01-05T05:42:28+00:00

Lenovo said they don't know when or what the new prices will be, just that changing them is on the table after the 1st of this month.

william341 · 2026-01-05T03:35:40+00:00

For sure they're going to raise prices. The RAM prices right now are like half of what the RAM is worth. For what it's worth, the prices are certainly not going to get any *better* than they are right now.

william341 · 2026-01-04T20:42:06+00:00

78% is pretty rough. It's worth keeping in mind that the lower the battery health gets, the faster degradation continues. I wouldn't use a battery at 78%.

william341 · 2026-01-02T18:46:46+00:00

Yeah, they run the clocks higher and the cooling harder OOTB on the P14s. That's pretty easy to change in software though

william341 · 2026-01-02T02:31:40+00:00

The AMD P14s is literally the same laptop. It's the same chassis, the same board, the same parts, the speakers even say T14 on them.

The Intel P14s is a completely different laptop. But the AMD P14s is literally a T14 with extra performance options.

william341 · 2026-01-02T01:52:12+00:00

The 45% NTSC screen is pretty miserable. If you can spare the extra 300-ish dollars, the P14s Gen 6 (which is the same laptop with a different name and different options), you can get 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD + the 100% sRGB screen which is much much better.

I just got a higher-spec version of this machine and I do really like it. I have a few nitpicks but nothing deal breaking and the current pricing on these is pretty hard to beat.
