this is illegal right

the only illegal part might be that the shop he bought it from didn't say it's a signature windows laptop, whatever that means

otherwise no, I'm pretty sure this is just lenovo being incompetent, rather than microsoft being nefarious

a person in your position (writing Linux code) should be using a Mac

they don't actually expect you to also use Linux through anything besides ssh do they?

it's technically allowed but it's a risky choice

I haven't used mac os since 10.8 but it seemed like it was pretty loving bad, how is it nowadays?

it sucks cause macbooks suit the gently caress out of my needs hardware wise but mac os is so bad...

it's bad now, but probably still not as bad as desktop linux.

desktop linux is the best because it can be what the gently caress you want

made the mistake of updating to macos sierra and i take back all the nice things i said, it's as bad as every other linux

particularly good linux-inspired features of macos sierra are the way the trackpad will randomly stop being able to click, and the way scrolling in some apps (e.g. terminals) is suddenly 10x more sensitive than it should be

it's really bad

does anyone here have experience with criu? supposedly I can use it to create snapshots of running processes that can later be relaunched if something (say, a power outage) happens

kinda sucks that Lenovo is so fuckin incompetent though since thinkpads are still good computers and have better support than a lot of lappys. dell is still very needs suiting.

i got the previous gen of the X1 carbon in Jan only because I killed my old mb air and they were flogging them off cheap with high specs. surprises the hell out of me that it's the best i've ever used. will probably get another when the time comes

x1 carbon series is extremely good

gen3 switched back to real function keys but they undid all the other keyboard changes too which were actually pretty good for the most part. also they changed the dock interface. lol idk.

it's not coming

which distribution do you think is going to ship flatpak? it violates debian policy, it competes with canonical's in-house product, and it would be unsupportable for enterprise customers on rhel.

it will be 3rd party forever

cool a 3rd party tool so i can .. download other 3rd party tools that were inexplicably built for this platform no one uses
