Terrible photo (I have no light in this room), but I love my new sticker. First one on this laptop @Gargron https://mastodon.cloud/media/NPeT961DmWzFgb5aCIs
@Obi @Gargron which laptop are you using. I'm looking for a good Linux laptop in the manner of hardware compability. Prefer just open source drivers
@umurgdk @Gargron Asus Zenbook (UX303 LA). I was always a Dell user, they always worked well for me with Linux, until I had driver/WiFi probs on the XPS13 Dev version (tried 2 of them), which is ironic lol. Literally no fever issues with the ZenBook, didn't even have to track any down, and this is the touchscreen model
@Obi @Gargron so everything works smoothly with Linux including the touchscreen? You don't have to patch the kernel or something?
@umurgdk @Gargron everything smooth, no problems at all. And that's a first for me with Linux in 10yrs. Note: I did have to boot UEFI Legacy when I briefly dual booted Win10, but that took about 6 secs. Also, I only run Debian distros (but Qubes worked fine with no tinkering too)
@Obi @umurgdk I'm running Ubuntu on the latest XPS 13 model without any issues. Pretty much everything worked out-of-the-box, except for some scaling stuff (laptop has a HiDPI display) on external monitors.
@cs @Obi how about battery life?
@umurgdk @cs I use it for work, so I usually scale down to 1920x1080. I have caffeine activated so screen never turns off, display at 50% brightness, get about 8hrs. But, when I bought it 2 years ago, I was getting about 10hrs out of it
