For the nearly $1500 spec they tested you can basically get a Framework 16, with much better upgradability and a 2560x1600 165hz vrr display.

China, the country that is increasing the number of coal power plants they build every year?
To be fair if anyone is motivated to discover flaws in testing methodology and publicly disclose them right now it's Labs.
It's getting hard to do just between AMD and Nvidia on Windows.
I'm old enough to remember the days when reviewers showed macro shots of the wires in half life 2 to test AA between different cards.
Does anyone even test that enabling "Ultra" settings results in the same configuration across vendors/generations? I'm pretty sure LTT Labs found cases where it wasn't.
I find it fascinating. You could play bingo with those people's profiles.
The squares would be something like:
- fuck Trudeau
- Jordan Peterson
- WEF conspiracies
- fuck Danielle Smith
- retweets Pollievere

It's between Apple and framework for me for my next laptop. The question is do I want a laptop that I can infinitely repair and upgrade, or do I want a laptop that actually has battery life when I pull it out of my bag because it has a functioning sleep mode. Thanks Intel. Maybe make sure your processors are actually power efficient before axing S3 sleep.
There is no continent called "America". We have North America and South America.
When someone says "South American" I don't think Alabama I think Brazil or Argentina.
The term "North American" is commonly used when you're describing something that applies to both Canada and the US. Eg. "North American sports teams".
We commonly use the term "Central American" when referring to Mexico, El Salvador, etc. because even though they are technically in North America there is a strong cultural divide, similar to how the middle East is technically Asia, but you'd never refer to someone from Saudi Arabia as "Asian".
I strongly disagree with your first point. Kids these days are more familiar with ChromeOS than Windows. Google has proven that as long as it has Chrome and a taskbar at the bottom people will be fine with it.
For long term support I also disagree with #2. The company I work for develops software that goes into both windows and Linux environments. The Windows environments are several orders of magnitude harder to secure and maintain because you never know what bullshit Microsoft is going to pull with their updates.
It may be easier to find a Windows IT person to maintain the system but it's going to be significantly more expensive and significantly less reliable than an immutable OS like Fedora silverblue.
Don't forget that a large chunk of that money also goes to the creators. It's significantly more than they get from showing you an ad.
Could be an RCE exploit. Doesn't matter if it's privilege escalation at that point because it can be used to execute a payload that can.
Endeavor OS solves most of those problems. Out of box experience is fantastic, and the installer is the best I've ever used.
That being said, I still wouldn't recommend it due to the Arch package maintainers willingness to break userspace.
You will do a system update and it will break something. Most recent for me was Python packages. I updated my system and suddenly pip stopped working because they decided to follow PEP-668 and force the user to install packages using pacman.
The rationale given was allowing the user to install packages outside of the distro's control can potentially break system tools like Fedora's DNF, which is python based.
Now, I've done this on Fedora, it's not fun. But you know what else? FEDORA DOESN'T EVEN ENABLE THIS FEATURE YOU FUCKING IMBECILES.

Depends on what you're using it for. Fedora's release ver upgrades are fairly seamless. Just a big dnf update really.
Meanwhile I have a bunch of servers stuck on CentOS 7 that are going to need to be completely rebuilt by next summer. I'm also limited by them because the pdf generator I use requires a version of libpango that was released in 2019 and EL7 is stuck on the 2018 version.
I switched from Rocky to Fedora Server because I was sick of running into compatibility issues with dependencies that exist in the Fedora repo and not EL.
Specifically postgres. One of the projects requires postgis and gdal, which are in the Fedora community repo, but I have to use the official postgres repo on Rocky and the people that maintain those repos are literally incompetent. They have an automated script that generates all of the packages and they can't even be bothered to double check that the packages are built against the correct version of postgres, so your install will fail because a PG14 package is looking for a dependency that only exists in the PG11, PG12, and PG15 repo.
