I'm thinking about buying a StarBook Ultra by @starlabssystems and I'm wondering if someone here on the Fediverse (not related to StarLabs) owns one and could share some personal opinions and insights about it?

Besides regular office work, I do some content creation, 3D modelling, local AI stuff (just tinkering).

I'm looking for decent hardware I actually own and control, and I want to use it for a looooong time (10+ years).

Currently, I'm using a MacBook Pro M1, so this is my benchmark (material, battery life, computational power). But I really miss Linux and GNOME...

Planned OS: Fedora Linux

Starting my journey of switching from Windows to #Linux as my daily driver - I have a shiny new #Starlabs laptop with #Ubuntu, just went through the first-boot process, and it's already perplexing.

Apparently the default user UID has changed from 500 to 1000... Which is annoying, because I'd like to keep my systems consistent, and I am UID 500 on the two servers we're running (both of which were set up *mumble* years ago).

How much trouble am I going to cause myself if I change my UID from 1000 to 500 on this new laptop?

Does anyone here have a Starlabs laptop? I would love to hear your feedback. What's great, what's not so great?

Thanks!
