Most Pluton devices on the market have it off my default and I am not aware of any device where you can't disable it (on x86).

Thats what I mean by fingeracrobatics.

In some software I have to do CTRL+LeftALT+F10 followed by entering a number. Shifting between the layers for that or moving one of the typing hands to the numpad would really slow me down.

It's very pretty, but I shudder just thinking about the finger acrobatics for shortcuts that my work software requires to be efficient. I either have to have a macropad the size of your whole keyboard right next to it or at least all the numbers and F-keys.

Love the color scheme though!

Bonus points for thinkpad.

I have no personal experience, but I've heard rumors that hybrid architecture (performance cores + efficiency cores) doesn't work well with linux.

That might be completely outdated or only relevant for Intel. But maybe it will help if you look into that in more detail.

Perfect Forward Secrecy has been around since version 5.0 (as an opt in beta feature) and enabled by default since 5.1.

Here is the original statement you're referring to:

I don't see any insults and the vulnerabilities were patched.

I agree that they downplayed it a bit, but back then they were still a for profit company. Now they are non-profit and it is in their interest to handle such cases in a way that is more aligned with their customers instead of their profits.

I also recommend Zorin OS. It's a bit easier to set up than debian.

what do you mean?

I have an epson ecotank and use it on archlinux with the epson scan software via usb. I select a dir and it puts the scan result there.

I am just trying to illustrate why posting personal anecdotal evidence is useless.

Linux and it's software is in a state where you can expect every user to have a vastly different experience and set of issues or the lack thereof.

The bugs I have right now have nothing to do with hardware.

  1. Window rules just refuse to work no matter what (wayland)

  2. A single GTK app stays in light mode, while all other GTK apps are dark. On my laptop, same OS, same settings, same apps, (I dd the ssd) the app is dark...

I'm on a rolling distro so newest updates always.
