I’d call ones with FreeDOS OS-less

I got my new laptop back in April, had a Windows 11 preinstalled (I wish it wasn’t the case, it would’ve been cheaper but it’s very rare to find OS-less PCs in my country)
Anyway, I prepared a Fedora installation before the laptop got home, booted Windows once to make sure everything (regarding hardware) works, and the rest is history.
I’m a developer and the dev tools on Windows sucked and ate my RAM.
Check out MX Linux, I hope they still support 32bit x86
the art of words
Yeah I’m pretty sure a lot of us stopped forming their own at this point thanks to LLMs

3·2 months agoI kinda feel like big tech regrets that we got away with PCs running all foss software. The existence of GNU/Linux saved us in a way, I think some still try to lock us behind Windows I guess but Linux options are not going anywhere and they keep growing stronger I believe. However when it came to smartphones they tried so hard to keep them locked and far from what a natural computer would offer (running anything as long as your CPU architecture supports it). While Android phones got some freedom in the past I believe they’re getting more closed and harder to tweak. Also I was there when iOS jailbreak peaked with all the crazy stuff (it was still hard to switch OS though). Fast forward to smart watches, now these are far more locked than phones and very limited in terms of freedom (even tho some run standars CPUs architectures). I think no way would big tech allow glasses to have freedom and they would make them close to what watches offer these days, maybe worse. I really believe that we should be able to run whatever the hell we want on hardware as long as it is technically possible.
Tl; dr: GNU/Linux saved the PC industry, corpos will not let that happen again with another industry.

Probably updating the client in the background, for some reason this is the default updating behavior on Linux unlike the visible progress bar on Windows

Pretty sure a Nano would last far more with a single charge though
The PSVita but I’m a GenZ so I haven’t used any hardware before the PS2
The Vita’s first-party though are remarkable compared to other stuff releasing, it kinda felt like everyone wanted to port PS3 games and forgot to make games targeting the handheld itself, the community is making a great job though, you can run CUPHEAD AND HOLLOW KNIGHT on that tiny beast
