On my previous laptop, the trackpad had a bug that made it spam interrupts after waking up from sleep. It ruined battery life and basically kept one core at 100% permanently.

So I duct-taped a systemd script that unbound and bound the trackpad after each wake up.

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
        post)
                echo -n "i2c_designware.0" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i2c_designware/unbind
                echo -n "i2c_designware.0" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i2c_designware/bind
        ;;

Just tried 100% + large text on Gnome, it feels much better than 125% scaling, thanks for letting us know it's a possibility!

After spending a few months on the FW16, going back to a 16:9 laptop feels... wrong. Like there's a ton of vertical space missing. Everything except watching movies benefits from a little bit more vertical space.

I've never heard of Linux destroying a Windows partition unless there's a blatant user error.

Windows randomly nuking the EFI partition is very much more a reality.

"Cloud Native" means uBlue's OS images are basically Docker images, but meant tu run on bare metal instead of inside virtualization, that are built automatically with GitHub actions.

The project itself is super interesting. It's not a distro, it's an alternative automated build pipeline toolkit for Silverblue/CoreOS that lets anyone build their perfect atomic image. It's still 100% Fedora+rpmfusion under the hood.

UBlue's official images have massive quality of life improvements over Silverblue.

Yes. Tuxedo is German, Slimbook Spanish, Starlabs British, NovaCustom Dutch.... Framework is US/Taiwanese but sells within select EU countries and the UK. AFAIK S76 is US/Canada only.

Edit: most of these actually ship worldwide but won't collect VAT and probably won't honor warranty claims outside their territory.

Tuxedo, Framework, Slimbook, System76, Starlabs are Linux-first vendors with an excellent track record.

Hardware acceleration mostly.

It's like buying an electric sports car and immediately converting it to diesel.

Oh yeah thanks I forgot about brew. TBH the only uBlue machine I'm currently playing with is destined to be my dad's new computer, so he's not expected to get anywhere near the command line :D
