Never too late to switch. Welcome to the club.

Ahah those pictures of Richard Stallman.

true… but at the same time India is slowly following China & Russia in terms of their human rights, privacy violation and “open” internet (closed).

Both why not both if you are really into photography?

I went for nextcloud myself. Also storing files. Managing my calandar and contacts and sync via davx

Sorry to hear about France. It’s really worse in France regarding your freedom online. Ironically.

Proton is also a great service.

India is bad

Back in my days I was also disappointed that schools weren’t using Linux. So I totally agree with you.

Linux was always ready for the education sector. I think already for 10 years now.

Look. I use both nvidia and amd video cards for 20 plus years.

The experience under Linux using amd in factually better than Nvidia. Mainly because AMD open source their drivers and are part of the kernel.

You can’t deny this fact. The only down side of open source in this particular case is the stupid HDMI Forum people, who do not allow us to have the latest hdmi implementation for 4k 120hz in an open source driver. Which is part of the license, where consumers are paying for. So that is ridiculous from the hdmi forum.

Anyhow, the user is free to choose whatever video card they wish to use. Hack try even the latest Intel Gpus. But also with Intel the firmware update are horrible outdated and they do not maintain they sht

lol? This is the best advice I can give people… What is wrong with you?

On your next pc go with an amd gpu. Just saying.

Currently linux mint offers an easy way to install Nvidia drivers. Avoid compiling the drivers from source.

its a April’s fool joke yes.

I use Framework 13 with AMD for my Linux laptop, love it. I do not want to go back to any other brand.

Multiple good reasons actually:

• 2.8k version, comes with a great 2.8k display. A very high quality screen, high DPI (can be set exactly to factor 2x DPI scaling, so no fraction scaling).
• The new screen also have improved brightness (higher brightness)
• The 2.8k version despite the name, also has bigger battery of 61Wh compared to the 55Wh
• You will also get the 2nd generation webcam module, which not only gives better image during day light, but also in low light conditions

YES! Big yes. I have one as well. Very pleased with it. Be very sure you pick the new 2.8k display version. So either pick 7640U - 2.8K Display or 7840U - 2.8K Display. Which works great for Linux, WITHOUT the need of fractional scaling.

Also be sure to pick the correct + right amount of expansion cards for your needs. 1 USB-C will be used for charging, so just saying.
