Time for me to go all in on Linux. Ubuntu has been my daily driver on dual boot with windows since MS started using dark patterns to opt in to OneDrive.

My next build will be solo boot!

My work machine is a Mac though I don't get any say in that.





I recently tried out Kubuntu and am pleased. It's as Windows-like as I want it to be. The extra work to deal with drivers so far has been minor.

I just upgraded my recently bought X1 Carbon Gen 12 from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. And now the sound stutters occasionally :( My guess is it's something with Pipewire replacing PulseAudio, where some apps now use a PulseAudio shim on top of Pipewire. Or maybe drivers I dunno.

But the fingerprint scanner works. The fingerprint scanner works!

Everything else has been fine.


Are you using FDE? Check your caching settings.

Good choice! I've been solo boot Linux for years and absolutely love it.
