now that i think about it, i have never actually met anyone who used redhat. i set it up once when i first started learning about this ""linucks" thing, in between mandrake and slackware. actually i quite liked slackware with fluxbox but gave it up because it didn't have support for my laptop's keyboard, and i couldn't afford a machine it worked on.
i just installed ubuntu and never looked back. gnome is....fine, i guess. you have image previews in the file picker now.

i want to say i never got into arch but i own a steam deck so technically i use arch btw

if macs with the M4 chip can do huge memory ai fast due to their ""Unified Memory""™️ (think: 200GB+ models) then i will probably buy a mac. but their laptops pretty much suck.

i need a laptop that i can leave open, then push off my bed while i'm sleeping. and be 100% confident it's fine. so needs to survive a 2ft fall while open, but macbooks are made of aluminum, even if they survive one drop they woudl totally deform after fifteen. it wouldn't survive a year. peopel sell """rugged""" cases for macbooks but it feels like lipstick on a pig

>but @fluffy why don't you just hackintosh it
yeah i mean i could. or i could actually do useful and productive things in my time.

like post on fse haha
