@terminalautism Back when I worked in fast food. We had some recurring customer that would actually bring a desktop to work on while eating, but it was one of those all-in-one desktops so it might as well be a laptop.

I used to love laptops as a kid. I'm probably much younger, but I grew up during the mobile computing revolutions during the mid-2000s and early 2010s and laptops were the closest you can get to having the full desktop experience on the go, even if it was less portable than a phone, PDA, tablet, or MP3 player. I even wanted to forgo the cell phone and just use a laptop to make phone calls. Thank God I never did, even though smartphones are trash, moreso than laptops.

I don't hate laptops. I just hate using them for everyday computing. I feel like besides planned obsolescence, the reason why I end up replacing my laptop every two years is because I use them way too much.

Also, I made a mistake on System76 using Libreboot. It's actually Coreboot (maybe okay if you're not full freetard), but their computers still seem to be pretty expensive. Even the Meerkat which is supposed to be their equivalent to the Mac Mini can cost >$1000 depending on the configurations you set in your purchase.
