Not sure if niche, but I use Arco Linux instead of the alternatives like Endeavour,, Manjaro, or plain arch.

Why? Its easier to setup than straight Arch. Manjaro was all over the place when I tried it a few years back. Arco, right from the ISO stage, let's you configure exactly what you want, with a handy guide on their website.

But the thing that keeps me loyal is the excellent community. The maintainer himself responds to most of your queries on telegram / discord (not FOSS reeee) and he's very active on YouTube as well with no nonsense guides and walkthroughs. Shoutout Eric Dubois

I want stroll out of f1 as much as the next guy, but that looks like a really late reminder to lose 4 seconds?

This just stops working on either my Linux laptop or my phone randomly. I'll need to kill the process and restart it Does anyone know how I can fix this? Battery optimisations are turned off on the phone.

Does the Infinity Reddit app still work?

I’m afraid there is no quick way to get an honest recommendation. I usually resort to YouTube and spend 2-3 days watching some related content. It sorta filters itself out, there will be a creator or few that you vibe with, and you trust their choice.

Happened to me with audio gear (I trusted crinacle, for example.)

I use a raspberry pi 4 with 3 simultaneous sessions sometimes. Direct play, it works fine. It can't transcode at all, though.

Severe inconsistent quality issues in both software and hardware, treating their customers as beta testers, random motherboards dying, etc.

They are still riding the 'flagship killer' wave, but they are just as overpriced as Samsung, while offering unfinished products.

The UI is horrendously large on my 14 inch 1080p display too

I wish I could hear Norm Macdonald narrate this one

A good general rule of thumb is to avoid the E and L series, and stick with the X, T or P series, or the X1 Carbons. Depending on your use case, choose one with the processor and display you want.

I have a T460 with linux on it that I use for work and it has been rock solid even when I spilled coffee on it.

Sean Lock, Bob Saget, Norm MacDonald, Gilbert Gottfried, how many more did I miss?
