I don't have any experience with Tuxedo or Framework, so I can't really comment on those ๐Ÿ˜…

I have definitely heard Lenovo ThinkPads are great though, and I'm currently rocking a Lenovo Legion Slim 7 which has been fantastic so far (albeit I JUST got it and I'm rolling Windows on it with WSL2 Debian, so not exactly a pure Linux experience).

I think I get what you're saying.

I work in a company with a very young workforce, and the few people who do put periods on the end of their sentences and say "thanks" are out-of-the-ordinary. Usually for us, it goes:

Hey {first name}, [Request Here with Emojis Strewn Throughout]. Thank you! [Signature line]

I think the few "Thanks" we do have are just from an older generation and / or members of HR (whom I am convinced have no soul at all)

I wanted to point out kbin.social has been having some stability issues, so I've been using the mbin fork at kbin.run and it's been working amazingly.

That is one sick-looking gun. I LOVE the colors

You said you needed something more immediate, I'd say there's nothing wrong with being a waiter / waitress / bartender while learning something else. They're not the most secure jobs for sure, but they're not exactly going extinct.

Alternatively, hotel staff make a lot (at least a lot for the small town I grew up in).

If you're looking for a trade skill - HVAC, plumbing and being a mechanic will all be skills that will stick with you through life and they all pay pretty well.

Truck driving is really, really in-demand right now. If you're willing to drive 12-14 hours some days, shower at travel stops and sleep in your cab (at least, that's what I'm hearing a lot) then that could be for you.

True, I really do think Linus was right when he said "fuck Nvidia" but sadly it's still a point against Linux :(

Just run stuff out-of-the-gate

Connect to WiFi properly in a Panera (ymmv, but this was my experience with 3 different Ubuntu-based distros)

Play pretty much any game (Proton has gotten us far but it's not the end-all-be-all)

Be usable without the command line at all (tried giving my GF Linux Mint, no it's not entirely usable without the command line, and I haven't found a distro that is)

*Run Nvidia flawlessly out-of-the-box

*Be backed up fully and easily (no, TimeShift is not easy, it's just easy for you after looking up documentation for a hot minute)

*Except immutable distros like Silverblue *I know Pop_OS! comes with Nvidia drivers before anyone says that, but it's the odd-one-out

This sounds like the same issue I went into on my old account multiple times: @BiggestBulb@kbin.social

Edit: found my comment on it: https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/716519/-/comment/4237782
