thinking of a new Tuxedo Lemur Pro or Framework 13Pro , still unsure. Framework seems to have the better screen?

i went from Mint to LMDE,

by bloat I assume you mean it installs software you don’t want ?

scratch… for a moment i was thinking ffs, not another programming language

this sane comment seems so hard for many Linix users to understand. I use LMDE, i want to click the icon on my toolbar and have zero interest in the OS itself

is the 13 Pro different to the 13 though ? i.e powerdraw and battery size ?

not the op but thanks for that, now I’m even more confused about which way to go haha Both the FW13Pro and the 76 are on my shortlist

I use LMDE but I like that S76 has its own Arch version. FW has touch which is nice and seems to have decent Mint support

as a not that big a gamer, i was thinking of the Steamdeck to replace my aging Minisforum “desktop”.

I had originally thought of the Framework

https://frame.work/desktop

with 64GB/2TB

and then move move the Minisforum to some LAN self hosting work (Jellyfin etc) but it has nothing for HDDs aside from external USB3, (and 1x internal NVME and 2x internal SSD) which i am led to believe is problematic

i currently just run a HDD on the router and use Kodi via a Nvidia box to a dumb TV.

I’d love to hear opinions from those with more insight

I run Linux mint on the Minisforum

this is a bizarre response, so what do u do the day after that when you forget to recharge?

indeed, for me it’s incredibly sophisticated and complex but that complexity brings issues of useage

I use that and Inkscape which is awesome

Many people bounce back to Windows after their first attempt at running Linux.

this was me from Vista to 10, swore every time i’d do it, endless dual boots with Ubuntu that lasted a couple days.

3 years ago with 11 looming, I took the plunge and grabbed a new nvme, installed Mint, made sure it booted and I could use FF, then reformatted my Windows drive and installed LMDE and have been using that ever since. The rest of it I just muddled through, mostly still muddling though.

First Windows was 3.1 at work, MS Dos prior to that both on top of Netware as the default IT guy but used an Amiga 1200 at home (from a C64, to Amiga 1000 to 1200.

The CLI is bullshit as the default for near everything, it’s not 1990 anymore. It should be there but eg the dick around I had installing Signal on my desktop as the Flatpak is some not authorized version , same with my VPN, what a fuck around needing Nord themselves to diagnose it, having the default boot drive fill up with what seems like a zillion kernels and need to delete them on my laptop etc etc

still have zero chance of going back to Windows but I get the ipad generation steering away from Linux.

Tux Kart ! ftw

occasionally, for sure.

i went from Mint to LMDE because why have debian, Ubuntu and Munt on top seemed weird.

z lib has books in multiple languages

if yiu keave ua hanging, imaginations run wild.

in the middle of a noodle restaurant, what you thought was explosive diarrhoea turned out to only be a fart as u dashed for the shitter tripping over the waiter and ending up in a sexy love embrace where that fart finally escaped?

i “retired” at 40 am now 60, my regret is not retiring sooner.

i had a near death experience at age 35, where I genuinely thought that was the end, this was the catalyst to changing my life.

I would recommend an NDE for anyone to bring into focus what is important vs what you think is important

I use Heliboard.

amen to that LMDE and use the GUI here
