I can imagine it being nice for a tablet. They even have programs for calls and SMS if you have a cellular modem.

As a student, most things are more interesting than studying.

Same, but also for TrackPoint. I have the touchpad disabled. I don’t need to move my hand away from keyboard, I can endlessly scroll through pages at varying speeds just by finger pressure, and even cooler, I can scroll sideways just as easily. Oh, and I can also scroll both vertically and horizontally combined, to just easily navigate in the 2D space, pretty cool.
Although I also use the touchscreen a lot. I don’t want a regular laptop anymore. Unfortunately the 360 ThinkPads seem a bit rare when trying to find a used one.

Let me check what I could get if I tried to buy it new.
ThinkPad L13. Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, 16GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD, 1920x1200 IPS, WiFi 6E, plastic body. €1,398.76 with 3% student discount. That seems overpriced, at the very least for my use case.

Why is there a Gemini logo?

Is that what was wrong here?

I think you’re forgetting femboys.

OK, you explained it well to me with the car example. I am not a car person, all I know about them is they can usually move, but I am not really interested to learn more.

I actually thought I was having issues with Debian. I was only getting like 6 - 8 updates when I tried to do them, even after a longer period of time. I kept searching around how to update Debian properly, but found no good answer.
Then something like 2 months later there was a large number of updates at once. So it is working then, huh.

From a deal on racknerdtracker.com (so RackNerd as the name suggests).
But their panel is a bit limited. If you want a custom OS that isn’t provided, you have to open a ticket with them to get an ISO mounted. You can also boot into recovery environment, but that is outdated minimal installation of Debian 9 without working APT. I was still able to use it to install Arch Linux from bootstrap image though. I just had to decompress it on my PC, create a temporary partition for it and scp it over.

And I am again mentioning Arch. It comes naturally.

https://racknerdtracker.com/ keeps all the deals that don’t expire.

Not at all. And that’s without whois privacy.
.com .net .org .us .me are $24.95/year
.meme is $24.99/year
.io is whopping $69.00/year

I tried that once, basically just Google worked.

404; Not Found

Is there supposed to be something?

I didn’t have that, but I use Firefox Nightly.
And I also just found I can no-problem go to https://revoked.grc.com/ 😬
So it doesn’t even check for revoked certificates (but at least Fennec does).

Firefox on Android doesn’t even have the “ignore” option :(

I only have experience with Plasma, but on X11 when I tap on the screen, it emulates a mouse click where I tap. And it also does when I swipe my finger, like holding a clicked mouse and moving the pointer. And gestures don’t work, though I think that one can be fixed.

Wayland just works. When I want to select text, press and hold like on a phone. When scrolling something, I just swipe it like on a phone (except for LibreOffice, that one is an absolute mess on Wayland). Especially nice with drawing programs. Stylus acts just like what I described with finger on X11 - it controls mouse pointer.
In effect this means that with fingers I can move around and zoom, while with stylus I can draw or select text.

And then GTK 4.20 breaks Rnote and I can only use it via Xwayland…

Anyway, for a touchscreen device, I had more luck with Wayland.

I prefer Wayland because I use a 2-in-1 ThinkPad. No thanks X11, I don’t want a click on touch mouse pointer.

Problem is, Linux Mint installer says nothing about that as far as I recall, and just offers a convenient slider to allocate space between Windows and Linux.

And that was my first computer. Yeah, I am relatively new to computers.

But hey, I only lasted with Windows for 2 days. In Windows 10 I couldn’t even wrap my head around when to use Control Panel and when settings, because look, mature OS, we have Settings 1 and Settings 2.
In comparison, Linux Mint 20 MATE was far simpler, so having really used neither, I went with the easier one. However, that doesn’t mean I had any idea what I was doing. I didn’t even understand the concept of partitions.
Just imagine a total newbie.
