Yeah. I don’t like snap but like, that’s not new and always been part of their plan. Bit weird to say the lost the plot now

What makes you say that? In the post apart from the usual snap bs, it all seems pretty standard and good. Not even a single AI mention.

🤓☝️yesh’ but, did you consider that uh… checks notes hmm… Linux difficult?

good luck getting more than a few hours into a fresh linux install without needing to use a CLI, lol

I use the terminal on my dev machine, but that’s because of what I do. Never opened the terminal on my laptops.

I don’t use my laptops for gaming, only casual web browsing and the occasional 3d print or code script.
I have used fedora in the past but a failed update broke it, so I’m using cachyos now.
The only issue I had with the laptop, is that it’s recognized as a 2-in-1 and sometimes would switch to the tablet mode which disabled the keyboard. Either I found how to disable it or cachy doesn’t have the issue.

I’m curious what setup you have to do?
I do some customization of KDE on my desktop, but for my laptops it’s always install and use without the need to setup anything.

They are informed a few minutes before the public announcement, so it’s either them waking them, or their family or neighbors a few minutes later

I disagree. The connector is fragile, subject to dust, contacts can wear out and audio quality suffers. Faulty connection means you have to twist it the correct way to have audio. Tug on your cable the wrong way and the connector on your phone is broken. Multiple standards for pinout for microphone and stereo. May cause shorts because every ring touches when plugging in. Disconnects too easily if the connector is fatigued, no locking mechanism.
At this point it would be better to reserve a few pins on a USB C connector to pass audio data. But not sure if analog can transmit fine with all the serial cables around it.
