Gregory's Server@mcc they sound like ubuntu problems, not linux problems

@chiamamialmort @mcc at least some of that is hardware support. The laptop is built for windows. I don't understand the Firefox problems, tho. Probably can be configured differently.  @nicholas_saunders @chiamamialmort It's a fucking ThinkPad! It lists Ubuntu as a supported operating system on the manufacturer website! I literally bought it because it was the line people mostly said was good for running Linux @mcc @nicholas_saunders @chiamamialmort It should be. AFAIK there is (was?) even a deal between Lenovo and RedHat to ensure that. @Sweetshark @mcc @chiamamialmort I just don't think that those features will be implemented anytime soon. In this context, compatible means that it boots. Not just sound, but Bluetooth on Linux sucks. It's awful. Not everything works. Not meaning to minimize your difficulties. Sorry if it sounds that way. @mcc @nicholas_saunders @chiamamialmort I have a 3-month old ThinkPad i7 16GB non-touch screen running Debian and xfce4. No problems so far. I installed Homebrew and use it for a few things. Everything seems to work well for me. Sorry to hear about all your issues. |
@chiamamialmort The problem with my Big Issue (sleep/wake) appears to be a range of Linux kernels in the neighborhood of https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ca299b4512d4b4f516732a48ce9aa19d91f4473e . If whatever non-ubuntu distro I switch to has a kernel based on this range, it will not resolve the problem. It is also unclear to me whether torvalds commit ca299b45 fixes the problem fully.
