You can, they partner with a mother company

I did not know they had a new slogan

My friends had about the same amount oft issues with their thinkpad as me with the fw.

I agree, that there are many issues, but you don’t notice them in daily use.

The support is very good with most people, I seem to have bad luck, but once I got someone helpful, it got solved super quick.

I still recommend fw. I wish they would redo the fw13 and improve upon all the little issues everyone had, but mine still goes strong and I hope it will for many years to come

Im not in this field, but the risk is that flatpak can be distributed by anyone? But flathub provides validated Tag for entities provoding trustworthy flatpaks, no?

i got the latest 2 days ago, so that should not be a problem. idk, i will just disable them i guess

puh, there is a lot in there. anything i should look out for?

i thought about that, because i dont. but on the other hand i dont want to be confused later on when i want to use zfs and it does not work

I think there was something with the screen, trackpad and fingerprint reader? But its long ago, so idk

I get that and I would obviously prefer an completely open source linux. But on the other hand I want stuff to work. I like that for example linux mint and ububtu ask during the installation if you would like to install prorietary stuff as well, which i always click. And who would not?

Oohh, counter strike.

Then find out you cant stream stuff out of the box and find uburnu vor mint? :D ( i would recommend mint, just installed it on my desktop. Laptop still runs ubuntu)

I wonder why they dont like people fucking around with the kernel

Fedora was my first distro. But i hat issues with Hardware in my framework laptop, which should have good Linux support. But what was even more annyoing was that Video and audio codec die not work right away because it does not support proprietary which made life horrible difficult for a noob. What are your thoghts on that?

I feel the same. I like the minimal design oft GNOME and KDE plasma looks kind of too much like windows, which feels traumatic to me :D But I will try plasma again soon with mint. I hope it will be more pleasant than I remember

A friend of mine works in a similar position and we discussed it a bit.

Since ai is a thing and we have some newer, younger and motivated profs, they actually kind of teach and discuss the use of ai in class, which is pretty important.

In my opinion we will not get rid of them, just like the internet.

And we have no metric to determined if ai was used or not.

So the only way to deal with this situation is to accept the existence and use of ai and create different tasks.

For example make them explain the code and make it clear there will be questions. That way they have to learn code. If they use ai or not does not matter.

And create tasks that require human interaction, like collaborative tasks, those can’t be done by ai and you have to structure the project.

First: Have a look at bitwig. Ableton is the only tool that keeps me from switching permanently to Linux. And i tried it with my push 2 and an extension - looks like i found something that will work for me! The workflow is even a bit better in some cases. Its not foss though

And there is an extension for onedrive for the file Explorer. Just try it out and ask your work or uni to enable the connection. Worked at our uni without issues

Pro tip after fucking it up twice: if you want to dualboot: Disable yecure boot and bit locker in Windows and WAIT 30 MINS at least or find out how to check the decryption status of bit locker. It says “done” after clicking the button, but it takes time. If that fails bit locker will lock the hard drive and you will habe fun searching for the key

I feel you. There is this little bit oft hope, that all my effort actually achieves something. But its like hoping for thr existance of god it feels like

How would one do that for real? Propably not write and push code that is not ready for production? And do reviews and Tests?

I agree, but in the other Hand, everyone at framework is just a huge nerd. They all worked as engineers in big other companies before and decided its time for a change. So for me it does not really feel like profit is their sole number one priority. And like the team diacribes quite well in the comments of the post, they are just enthusiastic and want to enable motivated lads to work more closely with the developer team

It feels like its always the same with big companies trying to please their stakeholders. They just manoeuvered themselves into a very bad corner by planning super short term and trying to milk each product to their limits. All of this because they were super dominant for a long time. But as soon as they experience pressure by amd, apple m1 series or qualcom, to actually perform, they crumble under their own short term planning. It feels like their existence ist onley based on their reputation from several years back and the lack of research done by the customers
