in my opinion a big requirement is longevity. If I’m going to recommend a distro to someone new to Linux, I don’t want them to go back to w*ndows because their distro gets unsupported. That’s mainly why I like mint, Debian and arch.

as much as I like Wayland, I don’t think it’s a hard requirement yet. I like mint because it’s extremely well polished. You really have to try it out to actually see it, but it’s insanely well done.

I’ve had more problems with my turing card on x11 than wayland (kde), with random issues with the application menu and weird colour management. That said wayland isn’t very good on that card either.

I think nvidia cards are just bad in general and comparing x11 vs Wayland on nvidia is like comparing different types of feces

there’s things that only work on Wayland though, like smooth touchpad gestures and waydroid

at some point you run of people to man the switch and prevent the trolley from hitting the people?

Specs aren’t too important. I like my distros lightweight, and a web browser will be the most demanding thing it’ll run.

web browsers are pretty fucking heavy these days, I think the minimum spec for an “ok” experience is a 3rd gen quad core “mobile” chip like the 3612qm or an 8th gen quad core “ultrabook” chip like the 8650u

main selling point being that it’s purple

never gonna watch the “Idiot’s” channel of choice

ohok, thanks

I think krisp is like another company and it goes to their servers as well maybe?? or does discord just use their software?

very good catch, do you have a link to an article or something about krisp recording your voice? I couldn’t find one

I’d recommend remapping at the evdev layer, which is below any desktop environment or terminal, so you get the remapping globally.

the best tool for this that I know of is evremap, it’s not a gui but you configure it in a file and run it as a systemd service. you can get the key names and whatnot from evtest.

I think you do tend to get better at some things after you leave it for a while, your brain just has more time to process it or something idk

I don’t think the usb connected controller part would have any latency, that’s basically just another USB input device. I’d guess that it’s between the OS and your eyes (graphics driver latency, wine shenanigans, display refresh rate+pixel refresh latency)

who even uses arrow keys these days?

oh that’s cool, how do you do home row modifiers like that?

do you use that for normal typing as well or is it just for symbols?

bro how do you comfortably use $, ^ and 0 for navigation??

All the thinkpads I’ve tried so far work flawlessly with sleep on Linux (both S3 and s0ix, many generations old and new)

if you’re looking for a new laptop have a look at the arch wiki pages for them example, they usually have a lot of info about this stuff

EDIT: oh also remember to buy used/old new stock (by 1-2 years) because new hardware won’t have good software support. should probably run a distro with an up to date kernel as well (e.g. arch, tumbleweed, endeavour)
