The distros aren't the problem, the DE's are. Otherwise yeah agreed 😉

Ok but you're talking about Cinnamon. Cinnamon's Wayland support is experimental sure, but that doesn't mean Wayland itself is. I mentioned KDE Plasma and GNOME because they are the ones using Wayland for the longest now and have the best support for it and there it works better than X11.

Yup, that's the exact same problem I had. And I heard more stories of people having this problem. It's bad...

I had the same display failure, but 4 times in about 9 months. It made me pretty done with the whole thing. I only got the laptop back from the repair centre 2 or so weeks ago but I have no faith the issue is properly fixed now. Let's see how it turns out, if it happens again I'm going to throw this thing out of the window.

Wayland hasn't been experimental for a while. Both KDE Plasma and GNOME have defaulted to Wayland for a while now indicating it's ready to be used. And in fact, scaling works better on Wayland than on X11 but I suppose ymmv.

I have the AMD edition and overall the laptop is nice but since I received the laptop about 9 months ago the screen broke 4 times. I only got it back 2 or so weeks ago from the repaircenter so I have only been able to actually use it for a few weeks. So my experience is pretty terrible so far. I honestly have no faith the screen is durably fixed this time but let's see, I'm pretty done with it.

Distrobox is Toolbx but more portable (packaged on basically all distributions) and supports way more distributions as guests. I recommend using that if not on Fedora or you want to run a different guest than Fedora.

It's off right now.

Also, inxi? Better use uptime, that command is actually available on all systems and literally exists to check uptime.

It's made in collaboration with Framework.

Christmas is religion yes, but Santa doesn't really have anything to do with religion other than being on Christmas right?

Thank you 🤗 I hope not too many people see us as obscure though...

It definitely makes it less interesting and feels the opposite of what Framework wants to do. I hope future models will be as replaceable and upgradable as their x86_64 machines.

Since https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1gdhy7u/experimental_flathub_release_of_newpipe_on_linux/ got a bit of traction yesterday, this is WhatsApp straight from Meta running on Linux desktop using android-translation-layer.

android-translation-layer (ATL) is a Wine-like approach to run Android applications on Linux. Rather than running an Android container like for example Waydroid does this instead implements the Android API. Note that right now it's very much work in progress and almost no app will work yet, but the fact that they have apps like Newpipe and WhatsApp running already is very promising!
