You may chime in here: I purchased it with three years of support as well (they [Lenovo] exchanged my brickes speakers, btw).

Thank you for your persistance. Edited it, Sir or Madame.

You are untinted. Tha nk 's for th is, bot.

Of whom?

I edited both:

The listing price was $2700 on purchase. I bought it for around $1800. The $650 dollar are from the Lenovo outlet store. I could sell this laptop for less then $500 on ebay.

More insights I gained using this laptop (intended for the curious Linux enthusiast):

• Kernel support for Audio and Screens is heavily dependend on user space: X.org and Wayland experience differs immensely. Even some udev-rules only work with certain compositors (and X11 feels like it is out of scope).
• Debian lacks people contributing to the linux and linux-firmware package. The onboarding is quite steep due to a lack of alignment between code and documentation.
• Developers if userspace programs react very fast to new requirements but they rely on upstreamed (to Debian’s kernel-team) kernel-config’s.
• Prompting bugs to the kernel appears to be done through kernel contributors only: Users will prompt hindrances on IRC (via OTFC, #aarch64-laptops) prompting the contributor and they will verify and support before addressing issues.
• There are archived advancements to the support which can’t be merged due to citation reasons and alignment with upstream can’t be done by the individual (there is a pareto-capable kernel for virtualization but within one week hunderts of commits need to get reviewed). This is impressive imo.

Thisnis slightly out of context. I told to (politely though, I thought) RTFM because the acronym should have been known in this channel. Though I have missspelled it and therefore his question was valuable critique.

I see; Thank you for teaching me. From now on I will try to be more objective and inclusive!

In real life I am known to be upfront (and too fast many times as well). No excuse - just some perspective from myself I have to think about.

How dare you!

I know that’s why I made this post: My hopes were high up and I payed the price. So I shared my experience.

Appreciate your follow up, Sir or Madame.

They claimed 28 Hours of no connectivity video playback with a moderate amount of brightness (if I recall correctly about 50%). It may get there half (Windows or Linux) but you will be at 0% left.

Idk why I get downvoted for this.

I am transparent and sharing my experience. I almost paid $2000 dollar for my dream and contributed as best as I can.

TIL: Don’t fk post.

// Edit: But prompt your confusion. You may get insight.

Yeah; Told you I am disappointed in some way.

I’ll be honest, this sounds interesting, but I have no idea what you’re even trying to say.

I am just sharing for the community. And I want some nerdish engagement tbqh.

Where does the $2700 price come from?

It was the manufacture price when I purchased it.

Does it support Linux or not?

It does but there are a few important things lacking. Also it isn’t stable without reading up on LKMS upfront and knowing what to do. Not all distros are capable of booting it yet (e.g. void).

Are you happy with it or not?

I poured ~$1200 to Qualcomm/Lenovo and they are employing one worker from one sub company. Interpret it on your own.

What’s LKMS?

RTFM. // Edit: I missspelled. LKML. I edited my post. Appreciated.

I’m really struggling to even parse the basics from your post.

I am open for sharing my insights, though : )

A friend of mine bought an used M1 and Linux support is limited to this day. I just want to run Debian (stable).

Framework doesn’t have (and still hasn’t) an aarch64 CPU.

The benefits of an ARM-Linux based laptop for me are:

• Running my obiquitious OS (Debian).
• No fans and less heat on the lap (note that charging heats the battery which in turn heats the laptop. Though this is just 25 Minutes to charge up and this laptop [X13s] cools down very fast)
• battery life (I can safely assume 6 heavy hours of no-plugin vim, REPL and browsing).

You may come up with downsizes and I bet I can address these with easy workarounds to stay within my requirements.

Feels relevant. Idk shit about guns.

Feedback-time:

He had minor hindrances which we addressed today: Printing, Scanning, Icons on the desktop and some windows software for taxes.

Wile loading I showed him some of your selection:

He liked pingus and in a few months he may pick up domino-chain.

Furthermore he may like townscraper but he hadn’t the nerve to figure out the bindings. I think TinyGlade will be more accessible (Nvidia Optimus works otb with Debian + Gnome-Context Menus).

Unfortunately 2048 was too hard for him currently but we tried.

One can travel the world but only got a backpack… Quite offensive then ;)

Awesome suggestion. It has a browser preview!

Steam may be some indirection he may be troublesome about (hope this isn’t lost in translation).

In the same vein I will name “Tiny Glade”.
