My Thinkpad T14s Gen 4 has a few annoying bugs still on linux..

The WiFi chip will randomly be stuck at make 1kbps download speed after waking up from sleep

And occasionally on waking up sleep as well the screen never comes back on.

I wish I had something more compatible with linux even if I do love this thinkpad

Heliboard has had a ton of commits in their repo the past few weeks. I'd expect a new release before too long but it has been a long time since the last one for sure. But it's definitely active.

I love Ubuntu's default yaru theme, and gnome extensions. It seems currently the best distro on my Thinkpad which is unfortunately pretty incompatible to most linux distros due to the shitty Qualcomm WLAN drivers.

Plus Ubuntus package repository is pretty robust.

The only negative thing IMO is snaps being kind of iffy. I don't think they are that bad but they seem a little too forced on the user.

Like Flatpak is kind of default on Fedora but they almost never force them on you.

Its not by the same dev. Tavi seems involved via the git commits but the project seems to mostly involve someone who goes by relan and another called IratePorcupine

The current beta versions of Thunderbird are implementating a tray icon for linux so soon this fork seems like it'll only have 2 unique features..

Right people who install various apps like McDonalds apps etc, are these even typical to GrapheneOS users? I'd think most would avoid superfluous data stealing apps.

How doesn't it work properly for you?

I use the flatpak on Fedora but have used the tar version in the past because the package managed version is hijacked with stupid Redhat bookmarks and homepage that loves to return after being removed randomly.

I don't really remember signing up for mastodon so I tested it.

mastodon.social -> create new account -> agree to terms -> username + email + password -> click email verification

It's literally standard. Maybe in the past it was worse I vaguely remember giving up maybe a year or two before I made an account on mastodon.social.

I think the premise is:

Debian stable, slow release cycle

Arch bleeding edge, always latest updates to packages

Fedora - 6 month release cycle? So something in between?
