i changed it back when i was still probed last night and in under an hour someone changed it again, while the only way they could've known i changed it back was by manually looking at my profile so either it's a massive coincidence or someone was spam refreshing my profile lmao

wsl2 whips rear end, i've been using it for all my personal dev work after realizing how much faster my gaming desktop is than my work macbook (in retrospect: duh) the one problem with it is its a vm-rear end vm so you need a lotta ram. i've been contemplating getting a windows laptop for my next portable dev box, maybe even some kind of quirky tablet thing now that ive gotten into Weird Keyboards and am gonna be that rear end in a top hat at the coffee shop with a trackball and a split kb deafening three tables around me. problem is that for wsl2 it seems like i'd need 16 gigs of ram minimum and everyone still wants to charge outrageous prices for that in a laptop even though its stupid cheap on desktop, for as far as i can tell no other reason than "it's soldered on" and "gently caress you" i have considered the only other practical solution for desktop linux on laptops - chromebooks - but feel slightly worse about being tied to google's poo poo than i do microsoft's i guess people run linux on those system76 laptops (which sound like they have nightmarish build quality) and whatever subset of thinkpads are still good but every time i see someone talking about how much they love using linux on their laptop they also like wind up having written blog posts about how they recompiled the kernel to get their bluetooth stack to work

just use an x1 carbon. yeah they're relatively expensive but you get what you pay for. watch out for the 4k screens though, they have some weird setup where the panel is monochrome and the backlight strobes RGB. or something like that. i see dlp flicker whenever my eyes move. the pixels are literally too small for me to be able to make out anything about their subpixel structure with the naked eye so that's my best guess as to what's going on.

Bluetooth is probably always gonna be rear end in Linux. I've just come to accept it. Every few years I revisit it, thinking surely it's gotta be solved by now, but no, it's still trash. For work I use whatever Thinkpad my boss found a few years back and, aside from bluetooth, I have no complaints using Ubuntu. For personal stuff I've used Dells for years with no problems. Really I can't say that I've had issues with Ubuntu on any standard consumer laptop, most hardware just works (* except bluetooth)

Bluetooth on Linux works just like Bluetooth on anything else, the problem is Bluetooth is terrible

the only platforms where bluetooth isn't a shitshow are Apple platforms because every Apple product in the past decade has come with a working Bluetooth radio meanwhile over in PC land you have a wide variety of Chinese no-name

anyway if you want to see a real shitshow use a USB cellular modem on Linux that isn’t running cdc-ecm and running a web server for configuration

normally, chomebook is fine for only the most rudimentary laptop usage. if you're gonna do actual work, just get a real linux that doesn't put a bunch of lovely barriers between you and the world in the name of ~user friendliness~ e: chomebook-samus was a real good machine tho. 2560x1700 screen, 16gb ram, i7 in a nice 12" package. mine died and i have no idea what to buy now i don't wanna go back to 16:9

if you actually only need a decent ssh client, you can get a barely used thinkpad for $400 and it runs just about any distro you like and linux+keep rear end does ssh better than any alternative, in my experience

if you need a ssh client get a cheap RPI lol

rpi doesn't come in laptop form with keyboard and screen, unfortunately. also running a browser on a rpi is poo poo, and a bunch of appliances are only accessible over http these days until you enable ssh for some reason. it'd be a decent solution otherwise

rpi400 comes with/is a keyboard. just get a small hdmi screen for it.

You could buy some lovely 20 year old thinkpad or you could just by some cheap acer laptop that will run linux perfectly fine.
