So it’s hard on some phones. Lineage OS support also isn’t any indication of how hard it is to unlock. The more popular devices are all easy to unlock.

That’s just confirming it’s generally extremely simple.

Which would help how? If they are really going to make it much more difficult for custom roms it doesn’t matter what phone you choose.

Security is definitely a concern, so replacing it is recommended. I’m not sure about other browsers compatible with Chrome extensions though.

This has nothing to do with secureboot, as the system boots fine according to the explanation.

So what’s the known issue?

I didn’t say I couldn’t fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you’ll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there’s all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft’s own Surface line.

For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn’t install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.

This has happened for multiple versions.

Try Windows. It regularly breaks drivers (not only WiFi) on some hardware (mostly HP). I’ve never had issues with WiFi on Linux on HP, Dell, Microsoft Surface and even a Macbook.

Exactly, most, if not all, os’s do this.

Ram usage is really nothing to worry about depending on the amount you have. Windows will free ram where needed as long as there is enough. If ram is not being used by applications it will be used for other things (it will be cached I believe?). If almost no ram is being used it means some things might take longer to load.

Windows on my Surface Go 2 used about 3-4GB of ram when idle, while on my work laptop with 64GB ram it uses about 10-12GB. But if necessary applications can use some of that ram that’s normally being used in idle.

I do agree about Linux distros being faster, that’s my experience as well.

I seem to remember that Carbon also doesn’t need Origin, or am I wrong? I also think that it was awesome.

It’s relevant because it’s there. If you don’t play those parts it doesn’t mean it’s there. They put the time in other things more important to the game than transitions. Also, the engine is completely different.

So basically they had enough examples to learn from, but completely ignored it and do the same?

No need, if Ubuntu works out of the box then Debian also works most of the time. I’ve never had to install drivers for ethernet or wifi. The installer is a bit less graphical, but it will connect in a few “clicks”, even wifi works for the installer.

No, I won’t stop buying meat, it’s delicious.

And the store pays the supplier, the supplier pays the farm, and everything in between. Not sure if you’re being serious.

Yeah, by everyone that buys meat. It’s simple. If we all stop buying it now they’re gonna run out and stop producing meat. The meat you buy today pays the meat that enters the store later.

No it doesn’t. But money does allow them to keep going…

On the other hand, if you buy something, check what you’re buying. Don’t complain if you don’t even know what you’re buying.

In the Netherlands as well, as well as when you buy stuff at a store. There’s always a small fee when you use a debit or credit card.
