We can't hold back the world because of some lazy UI Devs, I can't believe we still facing scaling issues in 2024!

My solution, under Linux, I get laptop screens with 2X scaling, i.e. 2.8K and 3.2K for larger laptops.

Huawei MateBook 14 (AMD 4600H)

Very close to perfect for me!

Pros:

- AMD CPU/GPU

- 3:2 HiDPI screen

-Metal construction

-Long battery life

- Very quiet even when under load

Cons:

- Fingerprint reader is not supported

- Screen is reflective and 60Hz only, I'm spoilt by high refresh screens now, buy one and you'll understand why.

Looking forward to ThinkPad T14 AMD Gen 5, last year's was close to perfect, but no way I'll be investing in a 60Hz LoDPI screen device.

It's best to try it, people use different subset of apps.

As I replied below, everything I need works, including a number of banking apps.

I used to use Lineage OS with microG, but now I use iode, very similar.

Note, I never patched or installed something besides microG ever, so my experience is as close to pure microG experience as possible.

You raise a good question, unfortunately I asked the same and no one seems to know the answer.

My other question was, why the first iPhone is significantly faster than a recent PinePhone.

I feel your pain, I've been there.

My advice, get a job around (but not in) London area, if not, get a remote role with a company in south, that gave me a bump from 35k to 71k.

Even better, leave perm and get a contract (outside IR35), you can easily get between 350 to 450 a day.

... and yes, that's doing C++, some Qt, some MFC, some Python, and no PhD/MSc nonsense.

Hi, Can you please tell me if the fun key (big roundish key) gets in the way when typing?

I really want one, but I'm not sure, I like resting my palm when typing.

Also, are the wells well curved/deep? I can't tell from static images on the web.

Thanks.

as long as you comply with US laws (unfortunately) and the Fedora Code of Conduct.

This is it, I'm not in the US, many aren't either, so why shall I suffer the consequence of such decisions.

Note sure if it's feasible to have a none-US build whilst based in the US.

But for the time being it's over for me, I've been using Fedora for years and recommending it to friends and family, despite the RPM fusion required after initial setup, but not anymore.

Let's see how welcoming Arch is.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 AMD Gen 1 here. My experience is totally different, using Fedora 36, everything works! Battery life I have no exact numbers, but definitely way more than 3 hours.
