Can someone PLEASE do some reviews of the Strix Point CPUs running Linux on notebooks?

While I’m definitely on the same page as you with regards to performance, battery, and a great touchpad, I do think that given we are on Lemmy and a lot of us are what you would call “power-users”, it is worth pointing out that MacOS is terrible to navigate with the keyboard.

As a small example (amongst many others), Macbooks do not come with dedicated home, page up, page down, end keys, and I’ve been using my wife’s M2 Macbook Air for quite a while (over a year), and STILL feel as though I can’t get the same snappy behaviour I can by using a keyboard for most of my navigation.

Once again, of course if people tend to navigate the OS using the touchpad this isn’t as much of a problem, but for folks who swear by the keyboard, you do feel it.

I’m hoping that the second iteration of the snapdragon x elites will be good enough to replace the Macbooks for what I do.

I find myself guilty of this mistake as well. Honestly I think anything higher than x.9 should be avoided due to confusion x)

Is there any good news for the x elite laptops?

Sorry for the noob question, but are you able to access your banking apps with GrapheneOS? If so, how?

Please stop doxxing me. JK but I use 01/01/1980 for some reason.

That’s some mad dedication

Honestly, whilst I would not recommend this at all, I find CutefishOS (you could argue it doesn’t even need to be a distro) incredibly visually appealing.

Perhaps I will get downvoted for being a sucker for modern visuals, but the theme is consistent, simple and easy on my eyes.

Although I like GNOME, the consistency bothers me and some of the design choices are inconsistent and don’t make for a great user experience, looking at Nautilus for example.
