Why is it these guys always seem to want to install Linux on hardware that goes out of it's way to be Linux hostile?

"I had a hard time installing Linux on a Microsoft Surface, so Linux is hard to install."

Sheesh. There's a metric shit tonne of hardware you can't install Windows 11 on. Does that mean we can all agree Windows isn't for novices or for anyone who wants a PC that is easy to operate and troubleshoot? Based on the standards defined by the author, seems so.

I actually gave this a try today. My wife has a USB-C port replicator she uses for her computer, and I just unplugged her laptop from it and plugged in my phone. That easy.

It was surprisingly usable. I didn't get too far into the nitty-gritty, but #Vivaldi opened up in what looked like a Desktop mode. The app drawer worked, and I fired up Google Docs no problem to type on a bigger screen.

I only took 5 minutes, but those 5 minutes implied this could replace ChromeOS.

Did everybody see that the Fosstodon hub has gotten all spiffy and cool looking now?

Nice game Seahawks. That 4th quarter was worth the price of admission.

Happy Superbowl LX to those who celebrate.
