It’s -$140 in my area. Additionally, the 2 other models I picked first didn’t have that option at all.

Fedora is better than Ubuntu?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

Generally yes

Ubuntu fucking sucks, every distro is better than Ubuntu

I'm using Linux mint, I think it's build on Ubuntu. It's all i know, but I hear arch is awful for beginners.

[-] imecth@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ubuntu is based on Debian so regular Mint is actually 2 levels down from upstream. But Mint has started offering a Debian base recently called LMDE if you want to check it out.

As for whether Arch is bad for beginners. Kinda. It's a DIY distro, assuming you can follow tutorials and guides it's pretty straight forward, especially with the archinstall script. But if you're uncomfortable with a terminal install, you can try out EndeavourOS which features a full gui install and a few tweaks to make it easier on beginners.

Yes

It has more up to date packages (while being reasonably stable), their implementation of gnome is essentially vanilla so its easier to build off of as a base (unless you like Ubuntus extensions and fonts but tbh you can always add those yourself)
Their KDE edition (starting from the recently released version 42) is no longer a spin so it should get as much attention as Workstation (Gnome)
DNF is arguably much better than APT and especially with the new improvements its seen
Fedora handles snapshots much better (btrfs)
There are more extensive third party repos on fedora
They dont shove snaps down your throat

I switched a while go and haven’t regretted it.

One category "no OS", with also at least 211€ off, would be great. Don't need nothing on my device when I install Arch from scratch anyway. Or nc -lp 42069 > /dev/main/root and cat /dev/sda3 | nc 192.168.178.x -p 42069, recreate /dev/main/swap and reinstall /dev/main/boot. Or just nc -lp 42069 > /dev/nvme0n1 and cat /dev/nvme0n1 | nf 192.168.178.x -p 42069

Oh those price tags make me happy

[-] alehel@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Interesting. Only Fedora seems to be available in Norway.

I'm still 2 years away from a new work laptop (my current one is doing just fine anyway), but when the time comes, I might go for this. Was thinking about going ThinkPad+Linux anyway.
