I use ThinkPad X1 yoga with Fedora 40 (Gnome)

1. Enable fractional scaling and install Display scale switcher gnome extension - makes it easier to increase scaling when in tablet mode for easier touch input.
2. logging in on a touchscreen can be a pain, in particular entering the password with on-screen keyboard. Special characters and numbers are not shown by default. On windows you have the option to use pin instead with a numeric keyboard. If you have a fingerprint reader compatible with linux that might work for login (mine doesn’t).
3. Linux is very terminal-oriented, but Gnome terminal is unusable on a tochscreen. never mind typing commands - try scrolling long outputs - you can’t scroll with touchscreen, it will just start selecting text (i dont remember how this works in Windows)
4. Google chrome supports gestures, so you can swipe left/right on the page to navigate back/forward. This does not with Firefox. Chrome also has a more touchscreen-friendly UI you can enable in chrome://flags/#top-chrome-touch-ui (Touch UI layout) although I haven’t noticed a significant difference.

• while you’re messing with google flags you may want to change Preferred Ozone platform to Wayland - this fixed blurry scaling for me

I’m pretty sure those games and movies are age-restricted.

One annoying thing though is you can’t scroll terminal on a touchscreen, it’ll just start selecting text. Maybe there’s a non default terminal with touch support.

How’s growing American economy worse than growing Russian economy?

Your best bet may be to boot from usb and see for yourself how well your laptop is suppored out of the box.

I have a thinkpad yoga, and when using wayland (Fedora 40 Gnome), the stylus is unusable - it stops working after few seconds of drawing and I have to reopen the app. In X it works fine.

Thanks, i might start using that so i can continue work while it’s installing. Even if I’m going to reboot later, i won’t have to wait for it to install before using the system.

I’m an annoyed fedora user and it seems every day there’s an update that requires reboot to install. I want the latest patches to keep the system secure, but this is annoying, and I use 2 laptops.

I’m sure the British museum will take a good care of it.

Good, I’m happy for iOS users. They always wait patiently for the features and they often come in a polished form.

Yeah, like at night it falls down to 0

That indeed seems to be the trend nowadays

Because they last long enough to reproduce. After that, evolution doesn’t care.

In 2010 i bought one before embarking on a road trip across Europe. I don’t think I used it though, but i kept it just in case.

Dash to panel seems to work fine. The only problem i had with gnome on two screens was when they had different scaling.

A lot, but Putin doesn’t care

Why single zero though? Why not 24.002? With single 0 you will still encounter sorting issue past version 24.99 (if there was one).

Did he catch a rug rat?

I could but then i can’t simply copy the “clone” url from the projects page without editing it.

I think the best solution for me may be to have a separate user account in the OS for work and personal projects. That way i can just log off at the end of the day and use personal account for personal stuff.

It’s a blessing and a curse. I have two gitlab accounts on the same server - private and work. I can’t use the same key for both as the key is used to distinguish git users, and git doesn’t make it easy to select which key you want to use to pull or clone particular repo.
