Try a used laptop. Cheap, power efficient, built in UPS, small. Can be quite powerful and some are even upgradable

You could pick up a used laptop for pretty cheap. Low TDP, leagues ahead of a Pi
Pretty big fan of manjaro
I got this one today on my work laptop - pretty surprising to me Microsoft pulls shenanigans like this without enormous backlash
I don’t have a 4K TV or surround sound, but people online seem to report both work
I use my steam deck docked as a Home Theater PC (HTPC) with a remote with a gyroscopic mouse and full keyboard on the back, and I love it. YouTube with ad block, jellyfin media server, and videogames
Wouldn’t want to give the lawyers anything to work with.
AMD GPUs have open source linux drivers meaning no extra configuration is needed on install. Some linux distros make setting up Nvidia really easy, but I ran into problems years ago. I think Nvidia is theoretically releasing open source drivers soon though
Twice after a windows update I lost my bootloader menu and my laptop would boot straight into Windows. After the second time I just removed Windows. Some investigation revealed that “Windows does not support dual booting” which I believe translates to “we will ocationally cause issues that a beginner would struggle to fix in the hopes of them staying on Windows.” Just a theory. Separate drives for sure if you can. No idea if they still do this as it’s been years since I dual booted
I mean, I agree, but the problem isn’t just that I see this at work. I shouldn’t have to see it on a paid operating system. This is a normal user experience on Windows. Ads everywhere is annoying. I understand people can be proactive to disable this stuff, but I think it’s crumby of Microsoft to do
It’s a work laptop We’re a small company - I still feel like calling our IT terrible instead of Microsoft is misguided though
It was literally a notification; made a sound and everything. Didn’t go out of my way to see it. I’m not used to ads in my operating system so it was jarring. Surprised people accept it as normal
Lol I had to install AutoHotKey just to be able to do some basic keymapping on Windows. “Can be made good” is so different than “is good”
But yes our IT team is just one dude with a degree in biology
Thanks! I’ll keep a lookout on news of what happened to fossware (probably just down for server issues)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t this community on social.fossware.space before? Anyone know what happened?
I’m particularly interested because my main Lemmy account was on the fossware instance which seems to have disappeared overnight. Not sure if it’s just temporarily down, or was moved here. I definitely can’t log in to lemmy.dbzer0.com as my old account.
Not sure where best to post this question because the dbzer0 instance doesn’t seem to have a meta community
Edit: looks like c/div0 might be the meta community
Years ago I finally nuked my Windows dual boot after one of their updates broke it. I still remember my laptop booting into Windows and being so confused. Haven’t missed it once.
