I am using firefox with ublock on linux zorin and i find it great too. I was under the understanding that MacOS all browser use the same code so the ad blocking is not as effective because, you know....apple.

For someone who hates windows you seem to be completely consumed with it. try something else. you might be a happier person.

I am enjoying it. Once I get waydroid on it this week, I should be good. there are a few apps I want to use for my music gear and hopefully they will work.

So I have been using this little notebook for a while and found a program called waydroid. I will be installing this on the notebook and I can download any app from the play store on my system to use as I would on an android tablet. This is my new travel tablet. No need for my iPad. I think I can get the software to control my amps on this as well.

Can you check memory swap on your tablet? I am using my dell 3000 11 inch notebook and now have Zorin OS running on it. I only have 4gb of ram on this system and it uses swap at times to make up for lack of ram as MacOS does. This makes the system much better than if you were only using the ram onboard. This new small notebook is going to be my "tablet" as I have waydroid so I can run android apps from the play store. But using linux is a breath of fresh air.

Christ for years apple have been crowing about how 8gb of ram is all that is needed in the mjesus chipped macbook airs. SO yeah, you can "just throw" macOS on the ipad with mchips in them.

Been using the system all evening watching youtube and surfing the net. It works great. I am digging this distro for sure.

I have been meaning to try this for ages now. I have linux zorin on her little low powered dell. Needless to say it runs WAY faster than 11 did. Windows 11 on this machine was ok, but nothing to write home about. This OS is so light that it is just instant for doing normal every day tasks. I was expecting a little increase in performance but this works so well on this little system that it's probably going to be my sofa system moving forward. I just need to log into all the websites I use regularly so I can continue using them as I would on windows. I know one thing, my iPad is now religated to controlling my guitar amp and thats it. Unless there is android app emulation on linux, which would be AWESOME.

Apple is the dumbest company right now. Just put macOS on the iPad Pro. Nobody want's folding tablets/etc. I have a flip 6 and it's the last foldable I will own. Fun for 15 min, now just annoying.

Oh yes, touchscreen is the best. I have it on my notebooks and desktops as well. I use them all the time for things.

I have been keeping an eye on the whole asus warranty / customer service thing. Seems after steve and a bunch of other creators called them out over their shatty practices, they have upped their game. I was talking to an Asus customer on another forum, who was having issues with their motherboard. Asus was on the phone with them for 2 hours trying to make it work, then sent an RMA right away via email to him to return the unit and get a new one. That's all that can be done. I am confident about moving to asus again now.

I don't know of one actually. I will keep my eye open for you! So you are running the Huawei tablet now?

Because there is something in the 285k drivers etc that are not jiving with 11. it's an Intel issue. my systems are faster on 11 than they are on 10. However, mine are a 10th gen and 11 gen intel system. Hell even my old intel Pentium gold 8th gen chip runs better on 11.

So in that case, it's an intel issue. if it's only happening to the 285k. Again. not a windows issue.

Again, the clickbait article you quote is wrong. Windows "throttles" apps minimized and that are not being currently used. not active apps. I have no such "bugs" you complain constantly about.

There are two available models. one with the 4060 and 32gb of ram. the other is a 4070 with 64gb of ram. It has dual NVME to upgrade ssd capacity. Ram is on board. But 64gb would be fine for laptops IMO.

Windows is not throttling your system, it's throttling minimized apps that are not being used. Again. Completely different that what you are claiming. Hating on windows is fine. using BS articles that are completely false is another.

Check out the Asus ProArt P16. Probably the best overall windows based laptop available now. It's basically the macbook pro of windows. I have my eyes set on one or a macbook air 15 inch if they release with the M4 Pro as an option. Not sure yet. But the Asus Proart is an awesome device. The best part about the asus, is the maxed out version with 64gb of ram and 4070 gpu is only 2699 canadian.

This is using the snapdragon in Asus' proart system. Terrible performance.

Now put that into a laptop with some cooling and you will have something.

Yep. copying apple for the sake of copying apple is wrong. No matter who does it.

Are there any better options? Basically, I want to put a dual ssd drive setup in bay one. To feed my projects and run the OS, then use the other 3 bays are the raid array for project storage using large HDDs.

I love that hardware for sure. That thing is NICE.

I have since looked at 3 monitors. I was going to move to a ultrawide, but 3 displays will work better. It's the easier cheaper route for me. Get the 3rd dell ultrasharp, put my touchscreen in the middle and flank it with the other 2 24's. That will give me all the real estate I need and the comfort of having my main screen directly in front of me instead of off to the side a little like my current dual monitor setup. Cheap and easy is fine by me.

For taskbar and start menu tweaks I use translucentTB and power start menu. Translucent TB for removing all shading of the taskbar and power start menu to remove the silly recommended area and give it much better translucence as well. It all looks clean and modern.
