Christopher Walken, only the greatest video ever. References to dune even! Trippy stuff.

Regardless, if you're buying the cheapest computer, you're going to get corners cut. I've had my share of HP shortcuts even in their elite book lines, used to buy 150-200 a year for work. They were ok, but the lower models were terrible. This em shielding thing seems weird to me, you're saying the cables aren't shielded on their own and interfere with computing equipment: that doesn't have special shielding? I've had my laptop's open, never seen any shielding from the outside... Just heat shielding from itself really but maybe it's delicate and tiny?

I'm always surprised when people buy the non-thinkpads for work, and then wonder why the break, as they are home use at best. The ideapad and their other line are not commercial grade, definitely avoid. But the ThinkPads are in my experience the best, most rugged made systems on the market

I tried so hard to embrace snaps and flatpak. I really did. But the snap service kept bogging down. Installs specifically of Firefox were ponderously slow to start up. And ultimately I ended up with regular installs, PPAs, snaps, and flatpaks all together with their own daemons, update paths, and quirks sucking up my system bandwidth and emotional resources. System was constantly slow. Felt like I was running Windows.

I flipped over to endeavours, really enjoying it. Feels like Ubuntu did in the earlier years. Great support community, lots of choice, but a straightforward path to just using your system if that's what you're there for. And the same computer runs a good 25% faster.

I've never heard or seen this. Mine has it setup like that to the dock - is there anywhere I can read about this issue? Generally my hardware from Lenovo has been amazing and well supported.

I've tried adding tea and hops recently and really enjoyed both!

I moved to endeavours from Ubuntu and absolutely loving it. The arch back-end and simple management options are easy to use of you aren't afraid of the shell
