He's why i stopped my recurring donation to lemmy development.

There was some fiddling to do post installation to get wifi and audio through the speakers working (although careful with this, apparently fiddling with alsa can cause hardware damage. you have to set a kernel flag for it to work).
It's mostly fine, The omnibook is apparently one of the least problematic models in getting shit working. There isn't a catch all guide though you have to sort of figure it out from the launchpad bug comments
The function bar at the top doesnt have the shortcuts for things like vol up and vol down working; it's literally just F1-12, wasnt a big deal for me. and apparently, although i havent tried it myself yet, external displays over HDMI isnt working. screen bightness goes up to 95ish% and then for some reason drops down to basically nothing which is kind of weird but not game breaking. Software support is reasonably good since a lot of linux stuff is already compiled for ARM because of the Raspberry Pi and other SBCs. mine is currently running the "Raspberry Pi" build of Private Internet Access
I set it all up pretty quickly before i flew off on holiday. i did a two and a bit hour flight watching movies and still had 75% battery.
couple days later i did a 4 hour train journey watching movies and having bluetooth and wifi with VPN active and was trying (and failing) to compile stuff and ended the journey with like 30% battery
It's mostly silent so long as you keep it on a hard surface.
Honestly it's game changing not having to hover around a power outlet. i'm probs selling my 2020 Razer when i get back to the UK
i learned from my recent incursion into setting up a concept ubuntu build for snapdragon laptops that you can pull binaries from the windows partition to make the wifi drivers work
i settled on Manjaro in the end for my desktop PCs. it has the flexibility of Arch including use of the AUR but i don't have to put much effort into setting it up
This was in the desert in texas wasn't it?
good chance nobody has been in that particular spot for a long time
did you try and use Arch?
i've only ever had to fuck around with wifi drivers when installing Arch
Everytime i've installed ubuntu on a laptop it's worked fine out of the box, including on the same laptop i had to fuck around with drivers on for Arch
bought one of the new snapdragon x elite laptops refurbished recently. obviously it came with windows 11 and i had to briefly use it to shrink the boot partition and disable bitlocker so i could install the ubuntu concept image on it.
The amount of advertising i was subjected to in that time was infuriating. not to mention the frankly arduous setup wizard.
Even with the slight bugginess of a "concept image" OS, the user experience is SOOOO much better than shitty horrible windows.

I've been saying for a while that the left in the US needs to embrace the 2nd ammendment.
Dark times are fast approaching... be prepared
i'm not serving this anywhere. it's just in a html file i'm opening locally, and it uses ChartJS. I'm trying to create charts for each day of a given csv of data so i can complain to my ISP about their DOGSHIT service. for some reason only the last chart is rendering and i can't figure out why, there's nothing in the console. I'm not a frontend guy so could be something very obvious.
I have 4 days of data so there should be 4 charts. The actual amount of data is much much larger than the subset i have posted below; over 6000 datapoints per day

Yeah, Afghanistan was pretty embarrasing for the USSR
We got to the moon in the last big arms race so maybe something good will come of it
