It dual boots Windows 11 and Fedora, and I’ve played with other distros in the past. They have minor edges over each other in various ways but none offer a major concrete advantage over the others in any category (except harassment/junkware, which any distro has a major upper hand over Windows 11 in, but Windows 10 accomplishes that almost as well).
Either there’s simply a hard limit on how good this hardware can be in terms of thermals and battery life or neither Lenovo’s tuning of Windows nor any Linux distro has gone far enough in properly leveraging power management and the like.
Eh. debatable. my work MBP frequently dies and the screen never turns on when i plug it in. I have to wait 15-20 minutes for it to turn on. My Linux laptop on the other hand, the screen turns immediately power or no power/just plugged in
I did the same for my media centers! Netflix and iQIYI refuse to work. I am cancelling Netflix. Been a member since 2010. I don't need 4k either. The 4k tax is losing ownership over your media. HDMI is closed source compared to display port.
My media center experience is so so much better. The apps on roku logout randomly, the nvidia shield remote craps out, windows firefox/chrome are slow and the logitech keyboard doesn't work. But the same keyboard and browser setup works like a charm on the same machine on linux.
Manufactured waste, fight against general purpose computing and ownership is what is at stake.
You're all too generous. The first time Netflix didn't display past 720p in Firefox, I immediately cancelled my subscription (which was paying for the whole family) and redirected everyone to Bitsearch[0] to pirate everything instead. I don't agree the moral or ethical arguments against it either.

Yup! Which is also the reason why I distrust projects like these in general: bold claims when there is nothing to be backed up with. What else is hiding behind such bold claims?
The claims, including in comments in this thread read to me as "I will make this claim". Then, someone points out that the claim is inaccurate. "I didn't really mean that, I meant slightly softer version". It feels disingenuous.
What I'm seeing is an Embassy dev giving hard evidence of how this can be used for real-time tasks ironically proving that the weirdly upset people, who are claiming no one here knows what they are talking about, are in fact the ones who don't know what they are talking about.
Hey: for this particular thread, the example claim in question is It obsoletes the need for a traditional RTOS, which isn't true. See elsewhere in this comments section as well, there are several good examples.
And you can see plenty of discussions where people claim this but there are plenty of counters from others. I personally think you'd be hard pressed to come up with a situation which an RTOS could do and embassy-rs's approach would be fundamentally incapable of (at least on reasonably modern microcontrollers: as I've been banging on about in other comments: an NVIC is a really useful piece of hardware).
YAS!! The option is to provision an key from a server tied to a national id and downloadable only to specific device. BUT NO!!! Just ban things instead of doing the right thing!
Not only that, Android apps want full access to contacts and SMS but at the same iOS apps don't require those permissions. So it was never really a matter of security. This is all security theater from bootlickers
