I have a similar T14 with AMD and everything works fine, except the fingerprint reader. Tested with Debian, Fedora, MX, and more

Congrats! Thank you very much for your incredible work

From one perspective, all screaming is in the void.

A city and a village are both social structures. I prefer to live in a nice, small village rather than isolated in a horrible city, even if there is only a small number of people who communicate with me. I love this place. Facebook? Not really. Big media? Not at all.

I have been blessed to have worked only for small companies of less than 25 people. Now I work for a company that I own (minority shareholder) with three more colleagues. Less than 15 people. We are extremely happy now, although I used to say the same for a couple more companies that I was the employee of up until a few years ago. My wife works for big organisations that last few years. I don't know how she copes with all the meetings.

I don't get the same impression in my community. I'm pretty sure that we all love capitalism in "millionairs@lemmy.lm" What communities do you waste your time on?

How can it be one? GNU/Linux, Firefox, EMACS, Ardour, Vitalium, SurgeXT, KX Studio (OK, this is repo), Carla, Gnome, Debian, MX Linux, XFCE, KDE Plasma, GIMP I am absolutely sure I am missing more s/w packages that I love but don't come to mind.

I am sure that most people here adopt the principles of FOSS. I wouldn't miss at all the various "mainstream" subs with poor content but some of the best subs could be encouraged to migrate to the fediverse. I have really high hopes for this project.

I moved to Debian and MX Linux because Ubuntu was deviating from the principles that are important to me. Can I ask why you prefer Firefox-ESR? It's the first thing I remove when I install Debian! And why do you stick with Ubuntu if you don't like snaps? Do you have any compatibility issues with other deb-based distros?

Everything that you say is correct and accurate. Definitely there will be big companies that will create designs and keep them behind their IP walls. However, there will also be some small companies, which otherwise would have been unable to develop their own designs, which will be able to create something compliant with the instruction set and have Linux kernel up and running, with most of the GNU/Linux ecosystem available to them. This is a really big thing. Also, if the small manufacturers follow a common fully open standard (which is in their interest) the benefit will be huge for everyone, users included.

I am definitely less active on Reddit, to the point of absence from posting/commenting. However, I am not very active here either. I have encouraged others on Mastodon to join Lemmy but I acknowledge that it's not as mature as a Reddit replacement, as Mastodon is as a twitter replacement. Definitely both systems are getting better and hopefully, we can move our social networking to the fediverse 100% by 2024.

That's the dream! Having systems that are free in every sense.
