I use Firefox since all distros package it.

i don’t have a strong opinion on systemd, i just heard someone call it soystemd in some YouTube video once and it just stuck in my head for years
dont forget soystemd and wayland
if you know your way around a Linux system, it’s really quite easy.
there is no benefit to old lts kernels on the desktop, kernel releases are always extremely stable
the rest also isn’t just an opinion, cinnamon does not have an equivalent to kdenlive, krita, or kate. even the existing applications are just not on the same level. it’s an acceptable desktop, but plasma and gnome are just better.
Wayland has objectively better multi monitor support in every case. You were encountering tearing issues before switching, maybe you just didn’t notice.
why should you have to? it’s a really bad choice by the distro maintainers.
mesa is outdated by default, not supporting rx 7000 cards unless you use the edge iso.
plasma has wayland support, tons of customizability, better multi monitor support, a great suite of applications including a text editor with lsp support and much more, and in general looks nicer. cinnamon is sort of the bare minimum
outdated mesa, monitor scaling, cinnamon in general being outdated
probably not a good idea, you’d have to upgrade quite soon. take a look at centos or rocky Linux instead, they’re both down stream from fedora
L take
Would this actually improve efficiency though or just reduce the manufacturing and development cost?
yeah, but you could improve the not ideal encoding with a relatively simple update, no need to throw out all the tools, great compatibility, and working binaries that intel and amd already have.
its also not the isa’s fault
i got mine on an insanely good deal paying less than ⅓, normally it would’ve cost >$2500
really fucking expensive though
If anyone is looking for a good 2-in-1 i would suggest the newer generations of the Thinkpad X1 Yoga, i haven’t had a single issue with the 6th gen and fedora. GNOME is really great for touch screens too.
It’s really not, x86 (CISC) CPUs could be just as efficient as arm (RISC) CPUs since instruction sets (despite popular consensus) don’t really influence performance or efficiency. It’s just that the x86 CPU oligopoly had little interest in producing power efficient CPUs while arm chip manufacturers were mostly making chips for phones and embedded devices making them focus on power efficiency instead of relentlessly maximizing performance. I expect the next few generations of intel and AMD x86 based laptop CPUs to approach the power efficiency Apple and Qualcomm have to offer.
no, the statistics are based on browser agents, very few steam deck users browse the Internet on their devices. it’s also only half the Linux devices on steam, not of all Linux desktops
