My thinkpad model officially supports linux, so there is no problem there. It is also much cheaper than any of those brands, and it's also available from the regular stores.

It should be easy for ltt to reimburse then, which imo should also cover lost opportunity costs and potential damages due to leak of IP.

I use debian 12 on my work laptop. I agree with your points but I still use it because I want the fundamental system to be stable, and then any software I want to be more up-to-date I build from source (tmux, alacritty, neovim) or download separately (vscode/slack/joplin).

I used to use ubuntu because it worked so well with my hardware ootb, but I got tired of snap.

I will sound really nit-picky buy the biggest thing keeping me away from using KDE is that accent-colored bar on each window in the taskbar, and the different coloring of open/focused/minimized windows. I want it sleek but not cluttery.

I've tried about a dozen themes but I couldn't find any that got rid of that and looked good. I tried fixing it myself but editing svg files was too difficult for me.

I hope plasma 6 adds more options for this but I'm not holding my breath.

Depends on the devs but I reckon they won't use the API.

Something i especially appreciate about winget us that it will "index" (or whatever you want to call it) software that was installed outside of it. For example if I install app XYZ through an .msi setup file, I can update it using winget.

So it seems I can also use scoop or chocolatey to install new software and then keep managing them through winget.

To me it looks like it's the officers fist that broke the window, not the kids face. Hopefully he wasn't badly hurt.

I'm 24 hours in and I didn't even know there were acts lol, but I assume I'm also on act 1. I've pretty much only done side missions.

Of course they weren't asked as often, there's significantly less number of users on Linux. 96.21% of the users asked was on Windows.
