If things don’t improve, this StarLite will likely be the last Linux device I get.
Not asking for much, just:
- Battery life to at least match my ten-year-old iPad. (I’d be happy with something lasted more than two-
(sorry, cursor just jumped while typing that – see point 2, below)
-three hours.
- Trackpad that disables while typing so I can, well, type.
Basically, just a machine that gets the basics right.
(Really - sorry cursor jumped - want to love this machine. Just can’t.)
@aral I've moved to a desktop machine full time now, but System76 has some solid laptops. I've had 4 of them. The new ones have some pretty strong battery life as well.
@entropealabs Thanks, I’m on desktop too usually but currently visiting family. I’d have considered System76 (and was previously a fan of their work, but not after this: https://ar.al/2024/06/23/fedora-has-been-shipping-with-a-broken-screen-reader-for-nine-years-but-the-real-problem-is-me/)
