Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Im not sure I understand the meme but I hate my system76 and looking for the true Linux Laptop..

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The meme asserts that people saying "system76 enjoyers got dropped" are in fact the people that got dropped, because system76 is great.

[–] cevn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Well I would show them my Pangolin which has a touchpad that randomly stops working and the whole laptop grinds to a halt for no apparent reason.. Support has been mostly useless but I will give them one last chance.

Think I will roll with Framework next. But also looking to max the frames out need the best mobile amd gpu which maybe in the Asus only? Probably their Linux support sucks..

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I can second the framework laptops. I got the 16 inch one about 9 months ago. I got it pretty bare bones (one stick of 16gig ram , no GPU, ect) and have been slowly buying parts as I have money for it. Got 32 gigs of ram and the dedicated GPU now.

Been running Linux mint on it since day one, had no issues with it at all, runs like butter, I even got the finger print scanner on the power button to work with a couple commands in the terminal.

The 13 inch doesn’t have a dedicated GPU, but the 16 inch has a slot for one. They’re only on the first gen for the 16 inch, but they’ve had 3 or 4 the 13 inch, and so far people have been able to swap in the new components in to the old frames, so it seems likely that trend will continue with the 16.

don't get an asus. they've got terrible Linux support and their vapor chambers are designed to fail after a year and a half of ownership causing cooling to drastically decline in quality

[–] dai@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My G14 is still going strong, and it's 4? 5? years old. I'm the second owner too.

What doesn't work under Linux? Backlight control, keyboard backlight (including RGB on other models) is well supported, anime matrix works too. I can easily set charge limits, fan speeds and power profiles.

My model doesn't have a webcam but the built in mics work well.

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

my Asus laptop required me to edit a file in the EFI partition to change the fan mode. not only that, half of the function keys didn't work on Linux and the back light didn't work at all. also, the audio didn't work

I believe my experience predates and/or was not compatible at the time with ASUS-linux

[–] dai@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Admittedly that might be the issue, I feel I've walked into Linux at the right time. Lots of community support, knowledge being shared openly with great outcomes.

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

yeah. as someone that has daily driven linux (0 windows!) for four years, it has gotten unbelievably good recently

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

get a framework. I cannot recommend it enough, I've had mine six months and it's been an absolute dream. (other than the touchpad breaking out of nowhere a week ago,, but they've already replaced it free of charge so that's not such a big deal imo)

[–] JasminIstMuede@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I think I'm lacking context here. What is the problem with system76? A cursory search for problems with system76 tells me there are some Nvidia driver problems, but that's surely not unique, right?

I don't have experience with their hardware but I've been dailying pop os for about five years and have generally had no problems.

[–] cevn@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

My Pangolin has a touchpad that randomly stops working after 5-10m and now the whole laptop also randomly grinds to a halt completely unrelated. Support told me to reconnect the touchpad myself but i have too much shit to do already..
