1920x1080 seems pretty usable to me on a small screen but screen upgrades are fairly popular with old Thinkpads.

I've got a Thinkpad T14 G1 stowed away, and that thing is pretty sweet... But being AMD powered, the best resolution it's capable of is just 1920x1080, which drives me absolutely insane on a small 14" screen. My Spectre runs a much nicer 4K OLED touch display (which I can't imagine helps with battery life).

I barely use the Spectre for gaming.

Edit: Honestly - after googling around a bit - if I can successfully install the missing SMD capacitors on the eDP connection, I will happily daily the Thinkpad.

Decent graphics or decent battery life: Can't have both in a laptop.

My gaming laptop is an Eluktronics Prometheus 17 and that's pretty pretty good (minus battery life, maaaybe 3 hours with light use, probably closer to 1 for gaming) but for regular use I stick to my L14 Thinkpad with Cinnamon Mint on default settings and it can do 4+ hours no problem.

Fair, I'm not one to yuck someone else's yum. I just don't understand the obsession with it. But whatever, doesn't hurt me.

My daily driver laptop is actually a 15" HP Spectre x360, running LMDE7. Outside of the battery life (or a lack thereof), I love it.

I love the nub. ThinkPads have been pretty solid for me. HP has been hit or miss, but their business line is definitely the way to go if you go with HP.

You are an idiot. I've met some people who have been more than interested to discuss this thing and actually go forward with it. You don't even understand what you're reading or what this content is about. Because if you did, and if you did have actual opinions of your own you would post them here rather than signal your conformist mindset.

Do you realize how embarrassing you sound?

I'm still looking for a good one that looks and feels like Pidgin or something. I don't like designs that are so full of stuff that they pretty much assume you have them full screen.

Also: obligatory boo to AI slop

I said “I hope”

You said you hope it's not because "they went hard on vibe-coding" which is an lunatic claim to make in the first place, just because some dude from KDE opened a discussion thread.

And you said that your broken ass PC with immature drivers will be the cause of you opening to many KDE bug reports that they'll hate you. That is what you said.

I said “I hope”. Didn’t know you own KDE plasma.

Not to mention it's a "continuation of a project" (https://github.com/Vitosicz/Heorot) which had 60k+ lines committed in a week and then wasn't touched for 9 months. So it's the rare slopfork

It can also happen if you moved the PC recently. RAM and socket sometimes make a bad connection after vibrations.

I've had a CPU temperature probe fail after a 1 hour car ride. Had to remove it and socket it again for it to work again.

I've been using Sable. Feels like the modern interface Matrix has been lacking for so long. And doesn't appear to be cuckcoded.

It looks like default element with minor changes and dark theme.

Brother. I swapped a whole fucking pc.

So it must be vibecoding! New components can't be faulty, drivers for new hardware can't be less mature,... No! It must be vibecoding at KDE!

I ran one from a distro iso when I first got the pc and I got no issues. I’ll run it again just to be safe. Thank you.

Thank you for suggesting this. I haven’t run it in probably a year. I’ll do that actually anyway.

Brother. I swapped a whole fucking pc.

While it's slop, I'm actually so glad it's not just another worthless alternative with no one on it, and is just a matrix client!

Because slop discord alternative have been flooding lattely...

Cinny exists

Even if every other part didn't scream it, thousands of lines committed every day sure does

I always run a few things after a new build to test for hardware issues:

• https://memtest.org
• https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng
• https://github.com/wilicc/gpu-burn
• https://www.smartmontools.org

Is it slop? Feels like slop.

Oh now I understand! Firefox was the blocker to finally release a generic Wayland implementation! Man sometimes I have the feeling I can't think. Thanks for your patience.
