The Ramen Dutchman

Why would you say something so brave yet controversial?

Try installing Firefox through apt.

More like: Upside to Debian, you never have to worry about the latest malware and bugs! Downside to Debian, you have to use yesterday’s everything…

I am actually enjoying most of it, yeah.

My Dell monitor’s brightness can adjusted on Bazzite Linux out of the box but I’ve never been able to get this working on Linux Mint, Arch, Debian nor NixOS :/

Same, this or the Breeze Snow cursor, depending on my overall theme at the moment.

Oh, they that bad?

Discrimination

My GTX 970 has always worked on Linux Mint, even when it was only a year old

Dell’s XPS laptops have been great, as well!

Yes! Yes!! No!

With millions of simultaneous users!

Wait, no, I forgot we’re on Lemmy; with dozens of simultaneous users!

I mean really, fuck Microsoft and Windows!

I don’t mean to offend at all, and in a co-housing situation those are nice and probably welcome, but not key skills, no.

Looking it up, there’s a discussion on Framework’s Discourse, but nothing shipping yet.

The best hope at the moment is to buy and connect an LTE M.2 key card that connects over USB-A, which would work on any laptop, come to think of it.

Hold up, there are third-party SIM card expansions‽

I don’t have a Framework laptop (yet) but once I’ve got the money together I really want one!

I have both at different times and will switch between background noise on and noise dimmers over my ears depending on the ‘mood’.

Not after they learned some proper woodworking.

we dont have the K, just the regular

Ah, my bad (^^;
I ran an i7-4790K in my gaming PC for a long time, as far as games go this 10-year old CPU still hold up well, never had to upgrade it surprisingly enough!

Still, a 4 GHz quad-core with hyper-threading, and about 8 GiB of RAM, is more than enough to run Windows 10.
Assuming these are for studying, the heavier workloads would consist of MS Word, Powerpoint and an instructional video in the webbrowser, no?
What required tasks were too heavy for these computers under Windows 8/10?
And do they run off SSDs, or spinning HDDs?

Little side note

those computers in question had either i5-4750 (I think?) or i7-4970 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task

The i7-4790K is still quite powerful, so I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the problem, at all. Perhaps they’re running on an HDD, have little RAM, or you got the CPU wrong.

You can see the CPU and RAM by launching System Info from tbf start menu, and see if it’s running on an SSD or HDD by launching Disks from the menu.
