there really ought to be a sticky or something prompting people to include their hardware.

anyhoo, Thinkpad T480s with 40AJ dock with a 4K screen on DP 1.2 with F41 Plasma, no such thing happened ever, use this setup multiple times per week. what’s your hardware?

which ones?

gotosocial

all-AMD system and don’t buy new stuff, go a gen or two back; new keyboards and mice and case.

• better OS support
• way cheaper
• you fuck something up assembling, no biggie
• the hardware is more than adequate for their needs
• no esoteric distros, something widely used and documented, with fresh mesa and friends and sane defaults - Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.

can’t help with the mentioned games. weening them off that corpo spyware is good in the long run but it’s detrimental to their social life.

you weren’t specific about your use case, but if running media-consumption apps is your thing, there’s a LineageOS AndroidTV port for Raspberry Pi. the most polished UX, no Google spyware to slow things down, super-competent hardware (avaialable with up to 8 GB RAM), supports HDMI-CEC (you can use your TV’s remote), has a wired LAN port, and you always have the option of installing a linux distro.

both Gnome and Plasma support touch, so try em out and see which you’ll like more. go for the freshest distros so you have the newest versions of either as touch is being worked on constantly.

not sure if you’ll be able to actually use the thing without an external keyboard/mouse; case in point, Gnome for the longest time didn’t allow touch to initiate dropdowns in the UI, kinda big deal.

be sure to not use greeter logins and disk encryption as the on-screen keyboards (OSK) don’t work outside the DE. also, issues with non-US keyboard layouts.

just a warning, if you’ve used an Android or iOS tablet, the support is pretty basic and the experience and performance is nowhere near that level.

that tech existed and was in use some 10 years back. can’t imagine how it’s evolved over that period…

don’t forget the homeopathy bullshit

there’s the problem with religion: you allow random fantasies to permeate everyday life and it’ll inevitably spill over.

case in point: the fantasy that there’s a good-guy backdoor, unaccessible to bad guys.

so, demand away, preferably at the same place you entertain all other fantasies, like theaters, cinemas, tax-exempt criminal conspiracies churches, strip clubs, and the like.

you’re right. edited.

it doesn’t do none of those things. also, you should include less details, it’s fun guessing what your software stack is, how you installed it, and the term “if I use Wayland” is way too precise. likewise, that sentence of yours is enormously protracted, you should consider shortening it.

seriously, are you for real?

edit: hey, if you want people to help you, provide details as to your os, software, hardware, and maybe spend a bit of time describing your issue in detail as well as stuff you’ve tried. cheers!

thank you for your service! I’m holding off till it’s at least in version 2 or 3 as it’s my main device.

• do you know what your Lenovo UEFI version was before (i.e. latest)?
• are both your batteries aftermarket?
• have you tried a dock?

dios mio, with the “sign petition” and “vote harder”, a waste of energy and dulling the blade of revolt.

whether telegram was setup as a honeypot or got taken over or somehow is still independent and free of nation-state influence is a) beyond the expertise of any and all participants ITT and b) besides the point.

the main point is telegram’s honcho when faced with the perfectly valid question (E2EE when?) throwing out one smoke screen after the other, shit noone asked or cared about and conflating unrelated crap to spread FUD - signal is CIA backed, whatsapp turns over metadata, all crypto is blown by NSA so we’re better off without, we can’t have encrypted channels (no1 axed for that), etc.

if he’s being cagey and lying about plainly evident things, what else is he untruthful about?

there are FOSS telegram clients out there and adding on E2EE is trivial (remember Pidgin and OTR over Google’s XMPP?). the fact that that’s explicitly against telegram’s TOS and that they’re adamant about leaving all your shit unencrypted “in the cloud” draws but one conclusion.

just tried to re-watch “the girl in the spider’s web”, the not-sequel to fincher’s masterpiece that’s “the girl with the dragon tattoo”. I remember hating it way back when and went in with a “how bad can it be” attitude… dios mio, what a colossal mountain of shit. the “hacking” in OP is hard sci-fi compared to this turdistan, and that’s the least of its problems.

someone posted already the gell-mann amnesia effect and this applies to everything. how guns are portrayed in movies as magical. cars and how they’re driven. the laughable naive cop shows. medical procedures. legal proceedings. journalists and their MO.

you hafta run your brain at 110% at all times to be able to somewhat disregard the learned idiocy that was programmed into you from an early age. here’s hoping we have the infrastructure in place so generations that are coming can avoid becoming similarly handicapped.

doesn’t have to be, it’s enough it’s not propped up by venture capital. all the results of enshittification are directly the result of venture capital wanting a 100x return on their investment.

a privately owned business that’s not focused on 100x-ing someones investment but content with the profit their enterprise generates (think Steam) is inherently good to its customers.

Far Cry 5, running in 1080p on a 2160p desktop (alt-tabbing doesn’t switch resolutions, so jumping back and forth is seamless)

well, living room, it’s a single-room-dwelling type of situation. but yeah, move the chair out of the way and browse Jellyfin. I’ll post an image in a minute or two when I clear out the desk, kinda embarrassing with the amount of random crap on it.

edit:

the macbook is unrelated, a recent acquisition and in the process of being tamed for Fedora.

it’s a n-th hand monitor I got five years ago from some junker who fixes and resells used TVs, he got it by mistake and was super-apologetic for the “missing” remote; it’s a monitor, it ain’t got none of those. also had no stand so I screwed a VESA mount in a board and it’s hanging thus ever since.

edit 2:

it’s way less neck strain than the usual dual 24" side-by-side. this is like having 4x 20" 1080p screens in a grid but without the annoying bezels, and that’s how I’m mostly using it. plus you have the option to expand a window in any direction when you need it, which you can’t do in a multi-monitor setup. I arrange the windows in a 2x2 grid, or go smaller, usually 3x2 with keyboard shortcuts, by way of Better Quick Tiles for Plasma 6 (Kwin extension). tried the auto-tilers, hated 'em.

when I’m done with work, jellyfin-media-player in Fullscreen TV mode with a $5 bluetooth remote from the couch for movies and shows.

gaming sure, I run the games in 1080p and the desktop in 4k, so older games allow me to turn on FSR. had problems with Gnome Shell crashing regularly, zero crashes since I switched to Plasma.
