In comparison to just installing completely unsandboxed apps?

sudo flatpak update -y && sudo dnf update -y

Sanely use multiple workspaces.

ThinkPads DO come with Linux preinstalled. They offer Ubuntu and Fedora Linux. They are also certified for RHEL.

ThinkPads are the de facto Linux laptop.

Not just Lenovo. ThinkPads.

I have the same Logitech keyboard, but I don’t recommend it. The touchpad has no multitouch and scrolls terribly. For what we paid for it, you’d think it would be better than that. Beautiful design and solid feel otherwise though.

The fact that you need a group policy to turn this kind of garbage off is ridiculous.

I can attest that this also helped me as well. Thank you!

Didn’t you see the slave labor clause in there? You’re indebted for at least 3 decades when you start a new GPL project.

power-profiles-daemon is now archived? Dammit, that was a big one for Fedora.

Damn, and I thought my IBM 5150 with its 512KB of RAM was light.

GNOME is opinionated and beautiful. Lots of focus on reasonable design instead of massive amount of customization. It also has a great app ecosystem and documentation. I love it.

Fedora is just flat-out king for desktop IMO. It has packages that are new, but not unstable. Lots of Red Hat engineers use it as a daily driver, so fixes come quick, and it has a pretty large user base. It’s made for this stuff.

I don’t know about that. IBM is traditionally stupid, yeah, but they wanted Red Hat for a reason. The CentOS debacle altogether was Red Hat, not IBM, and I don’t think they are doing too much day to day operational mandates for stuff like this. I would not be surprised if this was just a Red Hat thing. I know it’s easy to blame IBM, but I don’t think it’s that simple.
