Hey are you still facing this issue. I also faced this twice on fedora 41 silverblue but it seems to have resolved itself after some updates

This is not a malfunctioning hardware thing. I faced the same issue for a few days on silverblue, where my 2 year old zen3 laptop would slow down to a crawl and eventually the gnome-shell would freeze. Somehow it resolved itself somewhere between kernel and gnome-shell + mutter updates

Between this comment about arch and the other comment about opensuse, it must only be apt which has issues with large updates with complicated dependency chains. I remember 5-6 years ago Ubuntu borking itself when I tried to update after a decent gap and had 100+ packages to update. There is also the fact that people used to advice me to make a clean install in lieu of updating whenever a new version of Ubuntu dropped.

Well in an immutable distro, there is little to no chance for the system to end up in an unusable state (I guess it is the same for distros which apply the updates atomically). Traditional distros are far more likely to bork when so much shit is updated at once

Damn. You have my respect.

The ultra 7 is actually a good all rounder. Decent performance (well balanced between gaming and production workloads), good efficiency and good pricing with respect to the AMD options. AMD is of course better for pure productivity (9950x), pure gaming (7800x3d and the upcoming 9800x3d) and is better at the low end (7600, 7600x)

If you are speaking about stock Linux mint Xfce, with the default kernal, mesa version etc., your support for very new hardware - Arrow lake, battlemage and RDNA 4 will be imperfect. In general, very new hardware (launched within the last 6 months) will not be supported properly because the lts kernel being used was written before these products were launched

Yeah none of this is your fault. You bought what you had to and made sense at the time.

Now I’d try to buy a nice second hand linux friendly machine 😇

Do this only if it makes financial sense. Other than the bluetooth issues, your Surface go must be working fine.

Edit : As for your mouse, you can get one with a 2.4GHz wireless dongle/usb receiver. That way you get a wireless mouse without needing to use bluetooth.

Neither should you give up blutooth on linux. It is microsoft’s fault for using proprietary drivers for bluetooth instead of using a card that has open source support (like all the intel wireless cards are top of the line and have great open source support, they could have used that)

I have the b5dd model (with the 5600h processor) and linux support is good. Just find out what is the make and model of the wifi card. B55D came with a mediatek card which had problems with older kernels.

Build quality is average at best and it is fairly heavy but when you are going for a budget laptop, you have to sacrifice something. As another commenter said, if you are not gaming or video editing, you could go for different model with a smaller footprint, and better build.

It seemed more like a friendly suggestion than any attempt at gatekeeping

What sort of battery life are you people seeing from Asahi Linux nowadays when compared to Mac OS? The GPU drivers have matured greatly over the last year so I expect battery life to have improved

Dude if you are able to use arch without difficulties, you can use ubuntu or fedora as well without any issues. And arch should have good support for asus-kernel and nvidia drivers through pre compiled binaries so even if you stick with arch, it won’t be an issue

Seems like brave search has some ways to go before it becomes competitive with the big guys

Cheers man. Thank you for all your hard work on uBlue and all the images. You are doing amazing work.

I would have reported it but I wasn’t sure whether it was a local issue or a server issue and didn’t want to burden you with an issue without the proper information. Also no worries bugs happen and I have seen no group or organisation react as openly and promptly to bugs as you people do. I hope that sometime in the future, you open donations for uBlue so that people like me who can’t code can show our appreciation for this incredible project

This. Be proactive. Don’t wait for microsoft

Yeah I think it is. Especially because the error got resolved on its own. Thanks

What’s weird is that I did not run into these results when I searched for the error. What search engine do you use¿?

I am not using secure boot so I don’t think that’s the issue

Well it was you who implied that a distro shipping the DE with wayland has to do extra testing that they don’t do. I just replied stating that distros are testing and validating for wayland to be the default.

X works for me.

Good. No one is stopping you from using it.

Considering that Ubuntu, Fedora and any distro with Gnome or KDE as the default DE already come with Wayland as the default, it is clear they have been testing their own shit when it comes to Wayland and then shifting to Wayland by default.
