For me it's Pop. It was my first real foray into Linux years ago. Now I've hopped a lot on side systems and use Arch on both my laptops. My gaming rig stays with Pop because It Just Works™.

The new Cosmic desktop has been fun though.

It's Epsteiniensus.

You are right. Just one more problem with a system owned by corporations, I guess.

The beautiful thing about this kind of policy is: it's almost impossible to get the public against it once it happens. Even with the near total control of MAGA on the minds of its base, getting people to openly harm themselves -- specifically in the face of counterevidence, not without it -- is a hard sell.

And yes, it's not a complete fix. But don't let perfection be the enemy of progress. We have done that far too long.

C-suite is always clueless, and C-suite gets no consequences for their ineptitude.

If I were a shareholder, I'd be pushing my fellow shareholders to replace the inept.

That may be. And it's not like RAM goes bad constantly when it's soldered to the board.

At least it is all soldered: having a slot available and never being able to match what is soldered in sounds like my OCD's worst nightmare.

I do like the P series. For as much as I use a laptop (modulo my work laptop, which I don't own), I'm still on my trusty T440p, which I have modded as much as humanly possible.

Yeah, that's fair. The T-series in particular was solid for so long though. Until it wasn't.

Shouldn't it at least be an armored GMC? America first something something

Lenovo started doing it right after they jumped the shark and started heavily cost-reducing the Thinkpad line.

One reason why I stay far, far away from newer Thinkpads. It is a shame, because the whole line used to be solid and easy to work on.

Same! It was the last time that a single person could really control all aspects of the machine.

I guess one could claim it was protected memory on the 386 that really killed the fun.

(Yes, I know it's from Unix. It's a joke.)

The absolute insanity of Commodore disk commands (especially without a fast loader cart) just boggles my mind. These were accepted by a whole-ass company. A very successful one, no less.
