Shame that it's closed source and by Samsung. :/

I stand corrected.

That's what Samsung tried with Dex. You could even run an honest to god (emulated) Linux on it. Unfortunately, it didn't work out and no one knows about it today.

I think Canonical pitched this about 10 years ago.

Cool that you weren't scared away by all the Toxicity in he other comments.

We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.

The other comments are quite sarcastic and I want to give you a bit of a less antagonizing response why Steven Pinker is kind of a hack.

He more or less "cooked the books" when it comes to explaining how much good capitalism helped the people around the world by doing very selective data analysis. In the end he really advocates for being complacent with the status quo and basically argues for the argument of Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan (which has been disproven a lot by anthropologists.

These videos are quite long but go into more detail:

And if you prefer to read: I'd recommend The Dawn of everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow.

I thought the "/j" tone-tag was enough ;_;

Not sure if sarcastic and woosh, or adding to the joke ಠ_ಠ

I did (skimmed it, at least) and I liked it. 🙃

 

Hi! There's no Surface on Linux Lemmy community (yet), but I didn't feel like asking on reddit, so I thought that this community is my best bet.

I was thinking about getting a surface go, since I really like the form factor and have fond memories of my old Surface Pro 3 in Uni.

Now, there's a deal going on, where they're selling the tablet for under 300€, but it's the low-spec one with 4GB RAM and the weakest processor. I was wondering if I would be doing myself a favor by getting a tablet with these low-end specs.

My usecases would be: Note taking with rnote/xournalpp, surfing, reading, youtube and maybe some light coding.

A FOSS system with encrypted home directory is essential for me, which is why I'm not even considering Android/Apple tablets.

I think I'd give Fedora Silverblue a shot, because Gnome is supposedly great for tablets and it seems more stable to fuck-ups. But maybe the meager storage space (64GB) makes this infeasible

Do any of you have any experiences with these low specs? Or even with a Surface Go 2 in 2023 daily use?
