@opphunter88 @bot @gray it depends on your model. Mine was fairly straightforward but it was a loooong process.

  I don't understand, why would it be difficult or a long process? I was thinking about doing this recently so it's probably good I saw this thread.

  @MrFuzzland @bot @gray @opphunter88 oh and you can brick your device by doing this so read the instructions like 5 times every step

  @MrFuzzland @opphunter88 @gray @bot you have to:
  backup your accounts
  Backup your files
  Back up your OS itself
  Backup your firmware
  Physically disassemble the device to enable read/write to the firmware
  Create an installer for the custom firmware
  Liveboot to install that firmware
  And past that install the regular operating system using the new UEFI interface.
  
  It will likely take you a day or two.

  @bot @opphunter88 @gray @MrFuzzland netbooks have terrible build quality for the same price range and would not likely be compatible with linux

  I don’t even know what a netbook is, I just think of it as a small pos laptop.

  @skylar @RustyCrab @opphunter88 @gray @MrFuzzland @bot the only thing that makes it a bad experience is browsers are massive shitpiles now that expect infinity RAM and the latest hardware decoding to serve the same content that worked fine on a 300 MHz AMD K6 25 years ago

  @RustyCrab @opphunter88 @MrFuzzland @bot Dell makes a netbook like Latitude but its nowhere near the price range of a Chromebook.

  @mischievoustomato @RustyCrab @d @opphunter88 @MrFuzzland @bot @skylar macOS handles scaling really nicely.

  @skylar @RustyCrab @d @opphunter88 @gray @MrFuzzland @bot god I'd love to have that screen. 2x scaling would be good 4 me. it's like it was a 1500x1000 screen!

  @mischievoustomato @RustyCrab @d @opphunter88 @gray @MrFuzzland @bot i have 3000x2000 on my laptop. it's just not necessary to have this many pixels on a 13" screen, and DPI scaling sometimes makes applications look weird.

  @mischievoustomato @RustyCrab @d @opphunter88 @gray @MrFuzzland @bot that's too much, you'd just have to use DPI scaling

  yeah that's 2x 1440x900, pretty sharp font,ui,icon rendering. 3200x1800 and 3000x2000 are betterer but much rarer

  @d @RustyCrab @opphunter88 @gray @MrFuzzland @bot things have been getting better lately, 1920x1080 seems to be the bare minimum screen resolution rather than an unobtainable unicorn in a sea of piss (1366x768).
  i'm not happy that ethernet ports are rare, but i do like that everything supports USB-C charging and external displays.
  discrete GPUs have come a long way from only available in a gigantic 30lb gaymer laptop, now you can get a good nvidia workstation card in anything.
  touchpads are big and user friendly, everything's coming standard with a fingerprint reader for convenience, and backlit keyboards are pretty standard now too.
  batteries are still user replaceable, as well as RAM and SSDs on most laptops.
  
  i like HP's probook/elitebook/zbook lineup, but Dell's got some good shit too for their business laptops

  @skylar @RustyCrab @opphunter88 @gray @MrFuzzland @bot I'll have you know this screen has a whopping 1600x900 pixels and you can barely notice the screen door effect at all at a distance
  
  I don't care much for many of lenovo's choices since ~2013 but nobody else is doing anything I like either. the entire laptop market is trash and it's steve jobs' fault. there's a reason my newest laptop was built in 2015
