Will this laptop handle fedora KDE well ?
I have this exact one so i assume my words will be of help, first to answer your question, it flies with fedora Now to the more important topic, it's a peice of junk, it WILL break, not linux, the laptop's physical frame, more specifically the hinge, it's not a matter of if it will break, it's a mat

Where does the common idea/meme that Linux doesn't "just work" come from?
Genuine question: do you think that people don't experience problems with Linux? The way you're phrasing the question in your 2nd paragraph makes it sound like you've not seen the frequest support posts that are made every day on practically every linux subreddit. I'm sure there are some idiots out

Got the Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura edition and noticed the right Ctrl key was replaced with Copilot + fingerprint. Is there any way to remap Copilot to Ctrl?
This is the laptop https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadx1/thinkpad-x1-carbon-gen-13-aura-edition-14-inch-intel/len101t0108. I didn't notice it before but now that it's in front of me, the right Ctrl key, which I use all the time for Ctrl-left/right, is missing entirely and has be

Second class citizen’s laptop in an MBB sweatshop
Company EDR going ham on every file, System Integrators like Lenovo not giving a fuck to properly update their drivers for W11, bottom of the barrel cooling solutions (engineered for some low voltage CPU 10 years ago) and bad thermal paste (and badly applied too) are the main culprits of why your la

Switched from Macbook and now I get it
On modern systems W11 has way better battery life than Linux. I probably get 1.5-2hrs more on Windows than on KDE Fedora on my X1 carbon gen 9. Linux also has zero deep sleep states and drains my battery with the lid closed, much faster than W11 does. The downsides of Linux on newer hardware I guess

Prehod na Apple (mac)?
Recimo Macbook Air je 1200€ z M5 procesorjem, 512G SSD in 16G RAM-a. Kaj realno dobiš boljšega za ta denar, in da zraven laufa baterija 10+ ur? Jaz ne najdem. Gledam Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen13, 3000+€, kar je objektivno dražje kot Macbook Pro M5 PRO. Pri MBP dobim več RAM-a in bolj optimiziran OS, ter

Those who buy new do you install Linux?
OK, here's a specific example.

Totally frustrating experience.
What was your issue with the X1C? Also when you say online where do you mean? This sub? Cause, people will blindly recommend the AMD versions of machines cause it is fashionable to bash Intel nowadays (I'm not saying they don't deserve it but as with all internet discourse it goes overboard). The pr

T14 Gen 2 Core i7 (11th Gen) or X1 Carbon i7 (10th gen)?
Go for the T14 Gen 2 honestly. Yeah the X1 is cheaper and lighter but 8th gen memory vs 11th gen with Iris Xe is actually a pretty big jump especially if you're gonna mess around with Linux since newer gen tends to have better driver support out of the box. The RAM difference hurts a bit but you can

Curhat Sedikit: Thinkpad T14 Gen 1
4 juta udah nggak dapet banyak sekarang. Tapi beberapa tahun lalu sebelum harga pada naik, masih bisa dapet ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 Intel di 4 juta tipis. Huge upgrade dibanding Intel gen 8-10, Iris Xe emang nge-carry gen 11. Btw, nggak banyak yang bisa diakalin dari Intel gen 8-10 selain matiin patch Sp
