  • Unless you have a framework, and can remove the bezel and confirm that they work!

    I’m really happy with my new framework’s switches, I actually trust them for once! I went to find a thing on how they work to post here:

    "(They) saw the mention of the switches and that they are optical somewhere, but can’t remember to quote the source.

    As far as I can tell each switch is a U channel with a light emitter on one side, and a detector on the other. The part you move on the bezel just breaks the light beam. This creates a electronic on/off hardware switch.

    Using an actual physical switch would tend to be a source of an intermittent connection over time. Hence the use of optical technology. Same thought process for the screen open switch being a Hall Effect sensor, which can work through a cover."






  • 1,2, and 3, all boil down to “Terminal.” You could have condensed those lol. And get good dude the terminal is ridiculously easy and powerful, you can become proficient enough in an afternoon for all the copy/pasting from stack overflow you may need.

    4, Ooohhh you haven’t tried any distro since 2006? Dependencies are managed by your package manager for you, unless you’re using Slackware and even then I think they have stuff for that now (maybe some nice person will reply with that answer because I actually want to try slackware, but fuck managing my own dependancies.)

    5, Oh you were born the same year as the last linux distro you tried? Wild.

    6, and we’re back to “I’ve never even heard of Gnome or KDE but they definitely can’t do this thing they’ve been able to do for 20yr.” Bruh I mount externals from the file browser or the taskbar every day what the hell are you talking about? I’m gonna do it again in about 4hrs when I get home because all my totally not pirated media is on there.

    Dude if you’re gonna complain about linux at least try it first, this list reads like something some windows fanboy told you in the XP or Vista days ffs.
