    Bought a Yoga Pro 7 7840HS 32GB 1TB. Everything works fine in Linux. Battery does 8-10h on full charge, good build quality, no issues with any parts. Running EndeavourOS after had some minor issues with Manjaro, WiFi connecting 1 minute after booting and some weird disconnects after a while. No such thing in EndeavourOS.

    Running idle with minimum brightness, Bluetooth off, WiFi connected and keyboard backlight turned off consumes minimum 3.6W. Got it less than $900 around 4 months ago.


  • Why stop at internet, stop using keyboards as they’re used to cause so much harm. And pen and paper, so much harm has been done by letters, books, messages. Slippery slope.

    Internet is a tool. You can whitelist content to suit your needs rather than allow the floodgates of ad tech play with your mind. I remember the days before the internet. Bureaucracy galore, queuing for basic services, relying on the whims of some individual to get simple actions performed. It wasn’t fun. With today’s low attention span and low tolerance for boredom most people would have a mental breakdown.
