I believe you are not alone. I have the exact same journey. Started installing Ubuntu 20.04 on a mid-2011 iMac. Now, I consider myself as a near-libertarian communist, I spend my free time reading books on communist theory.
I’m a French communist of libertarian-marxist denomination. I like retro computing and free software. Also, I hate AI, big tech, crypto, or anything that has to do with capitalism’s bullshit.

peotr26@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Star Labs reveal their new StarLite, a Surface-like Linux tablet221·2 years agoI see soo many people complain about the CPU but if your CPU use too much power, your battery is going to take a big hit on battery life, unless the tablet now start at much higher prices. So the 6W form factor makes a lot of sense.
People complaining about it not being AMD. AMD just doesn’t make good 6W CPU (other then custom one but that would cost a fortune for such a little company). Intel has been really experienced in this market.
To the people scared about video decoding, Intel has really good HW decoding so 4K isn’t an issue. It’s better then AMD’s one on Linux from my own experience.
Finally this is a $600 tablet, so don’t expect a workstation to run Blender. Linux runs well on weaker CPU. My school computer runs KDE Plasma with a few apps open without much trouble and it has a Intel Celeron N5100 and 4GB of RAM.

As such, many people, me included, do not really like him.

peotr26@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.ml•French Senate gives green light to surveillance through cameras and microphonesEnglish1·2 years agoThe majority party in the French Senate is Les Républicains, which is a traditional right party who want to give the police and armed forces way more power than they should have. The only way for it to pass in the National Assembly, is if the presidential party vote for it. Unfortunately for us, the right side of the party keep on getting more importance.
Thanks, I’m looking into it.
My father has one since 6 months, nothing bad to say. The built quality was good, specs for the price also decent, especially for a small seller.
