Ooo, nice! I've been meaning to learn more about cli/tui stuff, anyway. Thanks!
Tuxedo's laptops r enticing from their sleek look alone, and their Linux support is enticing. If I'm ever in a spot to buy from them, I definitely will! As for cheap laptops, I'm heavily leaning towards a ThinkPad, although I'll probably look at what other vendors offer Linux compatibility and how good it is. Thank you!
I've heard amazing things about noth Framework nd System76! I'm sure u can't go wrong with either :) and I feel ya w/ ur avoidance of Apple products, lol
I've heard they run Linux well before, but I certainly didn't expect them to be so popular, lol. Plus they're cheap, which make them seem like a very nice choice. Thanks for the model specific recs, too!
I have enough money to buy a more modern Lenovo laptop, but I'm definitely considering getting one renewed simply because of how cheap it is. I'd prefer newer age specs tho. Thank you!
Oh :( As annoying as that is I can't bring myself to completely take it off the board. Thanks for the warning, though! Nobody's mentioned that so far :)
Ooo, nice! Although I don't really want to use Ubuntu myself (nothing wrong with the distro itself, I've just tried others I like), the knowledge it's Linux compatible is amazing!
I've heard really highly of framework so far! They seem to be a great company, thanks :)
Thanks! They look good but are a little expensive :( they're definitely a vendor I'll look into in the future, though!
VPNs protect your IP address, which is useful, but it ends there. Your IP is known to your VPN provider and can even still be found by those tech-savvy enough if you don't take the right precautions. Basically, VPNs are useful, but don't expect them to be the ultimate privacy multi-tool. It's more like one of many different tools to protect yourself online
As sad as I am by how Reddit turned out, this was the kick I needed to start truly indulging in the fediverse! Everybody's been nice so far, and I hope that it continues to be that way
The original FFVII game! Figuring out how to get the multiple discs to work from an emulator was a bit of a pain, but afterwards it's been easy sailing! While it certainly has its problems, I can see why it's so popular. Planning on checking out the remakes later on to get more of it, but I can't deny I'll miss the low-poly graphics of the OG, as I've always had a soft spot for that kind of 3D art
