Choose whatever laptop you like, and do a quick search on the model for incompatibilities. If there’s something critical or long-term, like a very specific hardware module not working well without its proprietary driver, consider changing, but most of the time, Linux will just work.

For distro, PopOS is good. It doesn’t come with a bunch of bloatware, but it is also not barebones. Mint is also a great choice.

War profiteer is an interesting way to look at it. If a company doesn’t cut ties with warmonger countries, they are war profiteers ?

They should also get away from US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and most of the “developed” countries that are historically exploiting poor countries ?

They sell fucking burguers, if they manage to not put too much garbage in the food to save money, they are doing enough.

Something that i liked very much on some games was choosing the assets you want to download, you want to play on low, no need to download ultra high res textures.

The thing is, using less resources is always an optimization cost for the company. If the user will just get better hardware, there’s not much incentive for spending on that. Unless the company aims for devices with lower hardware like switch, deck or mobile.

I really like the identation aproach, or begin/end instead of curly braces or parenthesis. When people start to nest things too deep, it gets painful to look at.

There’s more than one way to boycott something. I still search stuff there, but giving nothing back, i block ads and trackers, do not post, comment, or vote. For them, i am just a waste of server resources.

Takes way too long to open, have weird issues all the time
