Texas instruments graphing calculators have them too.

How old is your car? Ipod support is odd like post 2015.

Most of it is probably steamos devices, which is an arch derivative

I need to hackintosh my old laptop again. Once I swapped the motherboard with a higher spec one, I never redid the install.

That too, but you can get around it somewhat using vms or building a hackintosh but afaik the latest version of macos doesn’t run on Intel macs so that’s largely on the way out.

Xcode absolutely sucks, only supporting Metal instead of something cross platform like vulkan doesn’t help. Like they have their game porting toolkit but making a full native game is pain and suffering. Also cross compilation isn’t real half the time.

Edit: there are vulkan wrappers like MoltenVK so it’s not too awful to port. It’s just a build flag and am extra library.

I like Bunsen labs for this. I installed it on a 1 gb ram pentium m laptop and it was pretty good. Idled at 300 mb iirc. Only downside is that it uses openbox as a window manager so if that’s not your thing idk.

Has a decent bit of GUI tools

I have beef with an ath9k card. My qca9377 is the slowest wifi card I’ve ever used. Also for that card, debian doesn’t ship with support for it by default. Intel cards seem to have a better track record.

I haven’t found any documentation on this except “don’t do it lol”. Which is why I’m confused. How?

Edit: finding more info and discovering that people didn’t have bricked systems after using dkms which leads me to assume that later versions of popos do not have the issue that people were trying to avoid.

I used to use Bunsenlabs before moving to popos due to popos handling the dgpu better. Thats what I’m thinking as well.

If I use no dkms and no legacy, I get the current clinfo result. No detected gpu.

Problem is that popos has their own thing that will conflict with dkms and every single tutorial or guide for installing amdgpu drivers uses no-dkms as an install flag.

I need this to do opencl compute.

Yes but your mileage may vary. My pavilion x360 had okay out of the box support for it’s touchscreen. I don’t remember if tilt worked.

My touchscreen is currently busted and the hinges broke the case (and probably the digitizer) so I stopped using the convertible function of it.

Depends on your major. I’m a bio/ecology major and a lot of the tools I used were cross platform or web based.

Also the university I went to did have basic Linux instructions for certain things like connecting to printers and connecting to the internet.

They didn’t reinvent it, they just took a tv box chip and shoved it into a phone.

Edit: the soc that they are using is worse than the feature phone soc in my old Nokia from 2008. What the actual fuck.

So they.just reinvented the DVB-T tuner.

Edit: I looked it up and it’s literally just that. The fact they’re shoving it into feature phones is interesting.

I tried xubuntu when I was 14 on a live cd to get students admin access on our school laptops. Once I got my own machine, I kept it on windows 10 until it became unstable so I moved to Bunsenlabs, then Pop OS due to it’s dgpu. (Intel igpu, amd dgpu)

You can get around it a few ways. Some are drive agnostic, some aren’t. Also your drive might not be super affected by it. My dad’s Sony AIO PC didn’t have an issue ripping while a USB DVD drive I borrowed did.

Edit: the Sony AIO PC was also from 2012. It was running windows 7 when I did this.

Something to keep in mind is that Riplock is a thing. It will make DVD reads slower.

You have to be careful on the 80 series. They are either 7th gen Intel or 8th gen Intel. My sister has an i5-7200u t580. Also 8th gen is weird, I’ve been having issues with my pavilion trying to get it to run at base clock. I had to uninstall Intel thermald and run “throttled”, a GitHub script to run at base clock.

Also it’s the last generation of T series that has dual batteries, and a few gens later, they move to soldered ram.

E and L series ThinkPads tend to have upgradable ram. The build isn’t as good but the upgradability is something to keep in mind.

As for the specs and the lack of mentioning them, I agree.
