You might enjoy more Fedora KDE or Linux Mint.

That’ll depend entirely on your workflow. For me, it’s already good enough, but I don’t need much.

Oh, true, you don’t get previews of the windows inside. However, that shouldn’t be very hard to implement, so you might have luck if you ask for it to be in Plasma 6.

Gimp3 now has a roadmap, maybe it brings some improvements for you.

KDE plasma has it natively.

No, they’re plasmoids with the background removed.

What you need to do is clean the dust off of your fans and ventilation filters (check guides or figure it as you go, but make sure to disconnect the battery and the fans from the mobo as soon as you open it). Then, repaste it with good thermal paste or some . I have liquid metal (thermal grizzly condoctonaut) on both of my laptops, and one of them which had overheated since day one, doesn’t anymore.

I prefer the T480 series (imo Thinkpad went downhill from there onwards). The non-s is a great off-road laptop, but for what OP is asking, the T480s seems like a more sensible choice.

I have a second-hand Thinkpad T480s that I love, I bought it for 250$ on ebay and replaced its battery because it was fried (+40$). I use it for school and it works flawlessly, around 8h of battery life in a well-configured OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. According to the specs sheet it shouldn’t be, but for some reason it is noticeably lighter than a friend of mine’s MacBook Air 2021.

What I really love about it is the ThinkDock Ultra (iirc 30$ on ebay), which lets me place the laptop on my table, and by just sliding a piece of plastic, it connects all of my peripherals in a second. I love this laptop so much that I’ll use it until it dies so hard that it can’t be fixed at all.

Like locking myself out of my system completely because of a typo in pam.conf?

Gen Z, I mourned Reddit for 30 seconds. Now I’m here.

A publicly traded company is legally obligated to be evil.

I personally like Axum over Actix, less macros and more clever trait magic.

Studio One is coming to Linux. It is imo one of the best DAWs.

You’re not really changing anything, you’re adding functionalities. Also, it appears that apple has limited their capabilities and doesn’t even recommend them anymore, so it wouldn’t be crazy if they just deprecated them in favor of system extensions, which sadly they don’t call sexts. On the surface, kexts appear to be basically userland ioctls, which you have on windows too.
