That being said, just because other laptops are cheaper doesn't make them better. I care about minimizing e-waste, so I prefer to buy durable devices that last. For that reason, I bought a Macbook 12 years ago that still works fine, while a friend of mine is on his 4th laptop in half that time.

It's an illustration of the Sam Vimes "Boots Theory". Not saying that buying overpriced Apple hardware is the way to go, but just that it's important to look at more than whatever's cheaper, since a lot of laptops that look like they have good hardware for the price are not meant to last more than a couple years.

That's why I decided to go for a Framework this time around. In theory, being able to repair and upgrade it means I generate less waste in the long run.

And yes, it's very Boots Theory; the Framework was more expensive up-front than other comparable laptops but can be upgraded for cheaper than buying a new one.

I also care about minimizing e-waste, I have never once bought a new computer or phone in my life. Only second hand.
A 4-year-old enterprise grade laptop or a 2-year-old flagship phone are better value for money (including battery life) than anything you could get new at the price point.

I need you remember the term "fisher price laptop" because it's exactly how I feel about MacBooks.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Real.
I try so hard to not let it be real. But real 🥲

I (can't) use arch btw

Whenever I try Linux on my laptops, I always seem to have issues with sleep/resume from closing the lid.

While my wife's Macbooks battery lasts for like 18 hours.

[–] WammKD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe the brand? I generally use HP and Dell (and Debian/Ubuntu) and, while always bracing for something not to work, have generally not run into any issues.

[–] horrorslice@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm using an old Dell XPS 13. It's 10ish years old. That could be part of the problem. I'm currently using chromeOS flex on it. It's fairly usable, but I don't have audio. I really only use it rarely and for things like d&d.

I know the Macbook battery life is because it's brand new, but it's still impressive to me that she rarely has to charge it.

[–] WammKD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Mmm; that's fair. The husband had an XPS 13 (not sure if that old, though; it was the one where you could get the cover in Rose Gold) but they only use Windows so I can't say. I've mostly installed Linux (for myself) on Latitudes.

Oh, for sure; it is definitely impressive. I dunno if you already know (so, basically, I apologize if so!) but part of how Apple's able to pull that off is they manufacturer their own hardware and only install to it; so OS X's optimized to the hardware in a way Windows and Linux can't be (since they're designed to run on any hardware). I'm sure that's not all of it but it's part of it.

I can get ~20hrs of battery life thanks to the fact that I can carry 4 expernal batteries for my laptop, I am using Debian w. Xfce. I also had the issue of it not properly suspending on closing the lid, this solved the issue for me.

[–] horrorslice@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Much appreciated. I'll give it another shot maybe tonight and throw some XFCE on here.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man I have old laptop I love to install Linux on, but don't have jump drive that transfer the software on. How else can install it on my old HP laptop?

[–] ThefuzzyFurryComrade@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just get a cheap USB stick and throw the Debian iso onto it. Guide on how to do it

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks will give it a try.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 month ago

I wanted to move into ARM but didn't want a Surface laptop :(

But there is Linux for Apple silicon, and it's getting better all the time :)
