Cheers, this is what I will go with!

Any advice/tips on getting linux setup on this laptop? Ive only ever used NVIDIA before so Im not sure what to expect.

Im currently using cachyos on a different setup aswell, big fan.

Cheers! looks like a good laptop

if its kde you can just right click on the taskbar, edit and then type in the desired width.

cheers but I still cant find any AMD GPU laptops with these brands.

The one I am after is sold out unfortunately

thanks for the recommendations guys, but I cant seem to find any AMD GPU laptops anywhere other than framework - they are rarer than rocking horse shit.

It is a tinfoil hat moment, but I often think the same thing (I use Signal extensively)

Again this is all conjecture but If they have been breached, I would imagine it was when Moxie suddenly left the company.

Another point of failure is how signal is centralised, have you ever tried Session? they moved countries when they were approached .

Ultimately, there has to be some trust involved though, which is where the healthy paranoia stems from.

brilliant, Im excited to try it - cheers for sharing it with the world for free.

The more the merrier - have you had a chance to try anytype out?

they have this local sync function that works even without any internet (sort of like a LAN?)

its been really handy for me as I often work in places without internet, but retain the ability to sync between laptop & phone.

(Also are notifications and kanbans on the roadmap?)

In regards to your last point, this is something I always overlooked and couldnt understand why my laptop was severely underperforming (thermal throttling)

Ive never seen a distro utilise any form of fan control that works with my hardware, but utilising NBFC and its GUI has completely fixed the issues that have been plaguing me for the past few years.

Zorin OS

surely it would be more cost effective to buy a degoogled phone and sell your current one?
