There's offbrand throwaway chifi and then there are actual china-based brands that try to maintain a reputation
And some of those have a reputation for shit QC and others are actually quite fine. The reason they can still undercut is that their QC is also done by chinese sweatshop workers at $0.10/h, and all of their R&D is done by chinese wunderkind corporate slaves for $10/h rather than western audio engineers racking in $300/h to tune harmans
Many of the chinese brands also have western based warehouses and accept returns and offer some sort of warranty period too. It's not 2010 anymore grandpa

If the company has established maintenance procedures, yes
If it'd a dysfunctional mess where the "server maintenance" is the chick with katanas just deciding to ssh into the server to upgrade some stuff because she decided it was a good time, then the downtime could well be unexpected to everybody else, or everybody outside of the engineering team for example

those always do a form of penetration pricing, its a standard chinese strategy (割韭菜)
sell good products at a low margin or loss to gain reputation, only for them to pull the rug and abuse their reputation selling cheaper and cheaper trash

all myths, their manufacturing isnt magically cheaper than western manufacturers
if anything established brands have cheaper manufacturing due to pre-existing supply chains, that these chinese brands still have to set up
theyre cheaper because theyre actually cutting costs somewhere, for the liftoff period its usually their own margin, but they slowly move that over to cheaping out on research,development and manufacturing

Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources.

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine.
1) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice on bare metal and run your previous OS in a Virtual Machine.
2) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Resources: Please spend at least a minute to check a web search engine with your question.
Many free software projects have active mailing lists.

I'm pretty sure any kind of write to NTFS using Linux is enough for Windows to flag it as needing CHKDSK on boot. Pressing any key to skip it used to be a constant thing back when I used an NTFS drive as shared storage. I use a NAS for this purpose now.

Why the fuck are you talking like you where chosing between hardware parts? Just install whatever version and if you have any problem swap and give a try to the alternative instead.

Go with W10 and when support runs its course swap to W11. It's very obvious W11 is not mature yet and the latter you jump in the better.

What exactly is the point of libreboot?
27 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107700244
Libreboot was deblobbed coreboot. Nowadays its a coreboot distribution that minimizes the blobs and simplifies the installation process. Canoeboot is what libreboot was, and still complies with the 4 freedoms, at the cost of hardware compatibility and stability.

See:
https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html
>>
>>107700244
>>107700837
It's worth mentioning that the current state of affairs was the result of Rowe repeatedly starting drama for no reason. First, he claimed that the FSF fired some unnamed troon out of transphobia and demanded Stallman step down, then pulled Libreboot from the GNU Project when he didn't (and the story was found to be completely made up). Two years later, he started putting blobs back in to support more hardware, stating that he now despises the FSF and everything they stand for, which led to an older version of libreboot without blobs being forked under the name "GNU Boot". After about a year of obsessively shitting all over it, making fake sites with borked parodies of it and so on, he decided to deblob libreboot again under the name Canoeboot so people would use it instead of GNU Boot, which I guess is like winning the argument in his mind. He then made a big scene trying to have it resubmitted to the GNU Project, just for that extra bit of attention.
>>
>>107696983
It could've been done under a different name besides libreboot. But this has lead to the situation we're in now.
If anything, libreboot should assume the role of the devil and warn people about the cost of using nonfree firmware and microcode updates. That way, it teaches people how to value freedom, as well as what ways they can do to resolve the situation:
>accept or reject the deal with the devil; accepting may be the only way to remove the existing proprietary BIOS/UEFI on newer machines, which in itself is moving up the freedom ladder
>complain to the hardware manufacturers. while this may have limited impact, getting your complaints on record helps
>document experiences. write a blog about using the hardware with libreboot/canoeboot/whatever and tell people what works, what doesn't, so that people are informed about the hardware and given more transparency over what they're getting if they buy this hardware
>>
>>107701076
I think you're getting some of the details mixed up. Although she accused the FSF of transphobia, Rowe was actually one of Stallman's defenders when other people were accusing him of transphobia and telling him to step down.
>>
>>107701236

Reminder of the following:

1. Google will merge ChromeOS and Android to form a FOSS Linux-based desktop OS that will be 100% free to download and use.

https://www.androidauthority.com/aluminium-os-android-for-pcs-3619092/

2. Windows will be severely affected by this new, totally free competitor and will bleed marketshare.

3. All existing Linux desktop environments will be totally outclassed by Google's top secret desktop UI and underlying OS. Even Linux users will give up on shit like Mint and just use Google's desktop for their daily driver OS.

2026 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop, and it will be because Google will do to desktops what they did to phones.

You know it's coming. Don't act like this was a surprise.
