I’m going with this Dell and returning my Lenovo Slim 7 Pro. In my previous thread saying I switched to Windows I read that Dells offer great compatibility. I ordered this Dell XPS 13 and plan on going with Pop OS. Thoughts on this? Good choice?

Edit: Apparently it’s certified with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I assume I should go with This particular Ubuntu version then?

      Do you have a link to that?

      You know… just so I know what it is and don’t click on it by accident.

          @ernest more specifically.

          I don’t know if tagging him sends him a notification, but if you’re reading this @ernest, it’s doing the thumbnail thing but we kbin users are seeing a picture of a naked licking a lollypop on a linux post.

          It’s funny but I do think it’s a bug rather than a feature.

            Not sure if anyone else pointed it out to you, but op posted a thing, then edited the post to capitalize on an exploit.

            Software is actually pretty intensely hard to create.

            Ernest has done his best at creating a federverse instance for all us Kbin users, but also, none of us were here 3 years ago.

            I also don’t see Ernest becomming a Spez In 7 years, so I applaud the effort and the platform, and if we get more robust nsfw thumbnail handling, cool, but I also love the ability to edit my posts to fix my typos and whatnot, trolls thumbnails titties and all sometimes.

            There are other contributors (szsz has submitted a PR this week, for example), but its all reviewed by ernest AFAIK.

            I prefer to think of it as a feature and would prefer if it didn’t get fixed.

              Federverse is different from kbin’s inception is different from reddit or its inception.

              I like Kbin, and it’s all because of Ernest’s efforts.

      This is the only way I have seen porn on kbin, even after going out of my way to subscribe to the NSFW magazines in kbin. No porn has even shown up in my feed.

        It’s a bit like the 80s or 90s when we had to rely on the porn we could scavenge. Kids today do not know the significance of a Sears catalog.

          I remember the days of deciphering the scrambled tv channels on cable during the late hours perusing the late night adult programming as it scrolled in its warped and distorted menagerie of shapes and colors, feeling exited to spot an errant boob or something.

            But it was enough! Kids these days have access to gigs of HD video… not sure if that’s a good thing.

        Sometimes I see the rare post when I sort by Newest but it almost feels like kbin is giving 18+ submissions a low priority or something. Meanwhile when I check through my Beehaw account I see a lot of it, relatively speaking. Definitely far more than on kbin.
