I haven’t had that issue, and the battery life has been really good for me doing general things. Compiling hits it hard.

I have a HP dragonfly g2, 11th gen Intel i5, 16gb of ram, 2.1 lbs, 13” and everything including tent mode works on fedora. I got it on eBay for $275.

I wanted a thin and light laptop for travel, I was looking between an X1 Carbon 9th gen, or a HP dragonfly gen 2, I ended up scoring a HP with a i5-1145g7, 16gb lpddr4 for $275 on eBay.

I’m so bad at remembering all these different Intel code names

I guess it depends your version of safe :p

It is managed, I haven’t seen a FOSS firmware for this. I don’t think it has a Cumulus or OpenSwitch release. If it did I would take that over EOL proprietary.

I got it on eBay, it had its firmware wiped so I had to follow a guide from servethehome.com to reload it full. It was for $250 and allowed offers, I did $150 and somehow got accepted! The noise when it reboots… everyone in the house can hear it… but then once it boots it’s not too bad and there are flags the community has to lower it even more. I probably wouldn’t want it on a desk next to me all the time, but it’s not too bad.

The good thing about end of support switches… no outages for software updates… because there aren’t any…

Cisco CLI is still useful to learn, a bunch of other makes (Arista, Mellanox) copy it a good amount.

Agreed, I come from Cisco stuff at work and the Mikrotik learning curve is real real.

I also have some mikrotik for more edge stuff! They are great! But I outgrew the 8 port one I had and don’t want to pay$600 for a bigger one :)

I would avoid centos stream like the plague. It seems a half supported thing that most of the industry has left.
