Linux on Qualcomm laptops really that bad? I’ve been considering a purchase of a 1st gen once the 2nd gen comes out (probably grab an ex display model on the cheap).
I’ve not been following developments closely enough, but I know the battery life (in windows at least) is tiers better than my current 4800hs / 1650 with 65% battery health.
I’ve too considered a MacBook, but their never within my budget for the spec that I want, guess I was too hopeful about Qualcomm laptops 😞

I think I’d be more concerned if my hands were that small
Currently trying to find a screwdriver set that went missing after boxing up a bunch of old consoles. I don’t remember putting it there, nor do I want to open and unpack everything again 😅
Oh man, brings me back to blackbox / xoblite on my old XP machine.
I remember using notepad to change the config files, no auto formatting or error checking.
Had no idea what I wanted out of it but I loved the minimal aesthetic.
My cheapo dumb tv died a couple of years back, was a great bit of kit for $400au that gave me 10 years. I’ve got a “smart” tv at the moment which isn’t connected to the internet, and just serves as the display for my Shield TV.
I’d probably consider an LG commercial / signage display as my next device, some old work connections can get me one as a special purchase through their distribution channels it’s just waiting out the current panel dying.
I was a YouTube premium family account owner. Paid for myself, my partner and three friends accounts (think it was five slots?)
The recent price hike was too much, so I’ve been using frontends as of late.
The YouTube premium experience is seamless, much faster than the frontends but at the same time your getting shit shoveled down your throat at every chance.
I’ve had lots of issues with libretube servers as of late. Pipe pipe is better but overall since I dropped my sub I’ve been watching far less on YouTube as a whole.
Not everywhere in the world. Australia have turned off 2g for instance.
My VW has carplay / android auto but the built-in Sim no longer functions (2g).
From 2011 has most modern luxuries
Is this like nix with extra steps?
Kidding, but sounds interesting if I ever want to venture away from nix
Ahh yeah the price is a waiting game for me, Apple products hold onto their value and for me having the bleeding edge isn’t what I’m chasing these days.
Guess I’ll wait and see how the Qualcomm products go on the used market for their price.
I got my 4800hs for a steal; maybe I need to aim lower.
