None.
I had a Razer laptop in the past when they were talking about being dev laptop forward & supporting Linux.
This never happened. Instead flashing Linux voids the warranty now, support drops you, & firmware upgrades only happen thru a green-accented genuine Microsoft Windows GUI installation (no *.bin flashing, no CLI FreeDOS support, no Windows PE).
Similar can be said of Guix
I would agree. Some places are much harder to find other folks creating or using free/ethical software. & unfortunately more online projects are migrating to propietary chat like Discord while hosting their code on proprietary forges like MS GitHub which makes it hard to participate when free/ethical software are “your values”.
China, IL would be on my list
Xmonad. I prefer tiling window managers, & I tried Sway but I can’t do color work without proper color management… something Wayland doesn’t support. Thus, I moved back to my old Xmonad config awaiting Wayland to get its shit together after years saying color management was around the corner & distros still adopting it despite not being ready.
Why tho? The logs give you information & progress. After boot you don’t even see it.
I honestly wish Android booted like this.
Meanwhile folks I work with Linux is basically seen as a must (if not specifically NixOS). You are on your own if you want to use OSs that don’t work well with Nix since there is too much value in immutable builds to warrant supporting your proprietary setup. Most ended up switching to or getting a second laptop for Linux.
I mean that sounds like a them problem. Why would your setup, your ergonomics be influenced by others?
Yet Wayland is still working on proper color management… which doesn’t make it fit for professional work
Progress starts with small incremental steps? You could say this about almost any endeavor. At least someone is trying.
Why would it need to fix everything else? How could a single digraph swap fix any other issue than the one it is trying to address?
To upgrade the UEFI or other hardware-level firmware you need a way to upgrade. Best OEMs use LFVS; good OEMs use have ISOs or bin files you can flash from UEFI; terrible OEMs lock that into a Windows-only executable.
In my case there was a fan & thermal update I was never able to get.
