¿Prácticas de tiro...?
As long as it is optional and I don't end up having to scan my finger every day on my personal phone in order to open my work mail on the desktop...
Deja, que luego tienen que parar los trenes media hora para retirar al interfecto y limpiar todo.
A menos que se bajen en la siguiente parada... ¡Al paredón!
I assumed your "regular OS" was a desktop, and ChromeOS is a desktop OS. Sorry.
But for mobile, I agree, Android closed blobs are unavoidable.
"Android's improved driver support"?
AFAIK, Android own driver support is mostly limited to mobile devices, and only for a very limited time. Not very useful for a desktop.
The browser platform has been vastly more standardized than the desktop ones. And since many new desktop apps are based on Electron, and PWAs are more and more capables, there makes less and less sense to use desktop apps.
But I think it is a really bad idea to depend of one of them, because they tend to suddenly disappear with little or no warning. So I limit them to non-critical tasks.
Judging from ChromeOS evolution, by now FirefoxOS would have gained the ability to run all Linux apps and, de facto, become a standard Linux distro with PWA functionalities.
Seriously, why is it I can't install PWAs in Ubuntu the same as in Windows or Android?
My ad-blocker comes with me. If it can't come, I won't come.
Or I will just disable JavaScript or use reader mode on your page. Works half of the time.
"But... I am allergic to tomatoes!"
Wait for Web 4.0: the completely AI generated web, designed only for gathering everything about you, to spam and scam you.
Worst of all, some people will see this as an improvement.
It always can get worse.
But really, I wouldn't pay much attention to Linux compatibility lists. I never look at them, and I have only found one laptop in which something didn't work.
YMMV, but if you don't go too fancy, Ubuntu is very good handling hardware.
My laptop has the very first 8th gen i5, bought just out of the oven, so I seriously doubt anybody at Canonical had tested it when I installed Ubuntu on it. And here we are.
I totally get it. Each time I have to renew a gadget I hate the process more.
So last time I was extremely cheap an lazy and went for the cheapest minimal option.
If you go for the minimum, and it goes well, you know you got it right. If you go for the expensive option, and it goes well, you will never know: maybe the cheap option would have been enough.
But who I am to say. I am planning to buy a Fairphone soon, anyway. Out of ethical reasons, of course, but out of sheer lazyness, too: not having to choose another phone in a DECADE? I want three!!
Oh, I see: you want a Thinkpad...
The cheapest laptop I found that carried an SSD out of the box 5 years ago: Lenovo Ideapad 320.
The display is terrible, no proper graphic card, and I seriously think I should have upgraded the 8GB of RAM the first day, but it still works like the first day. RAM aside, I don't need anything more.
I always buy a Windows laptop, boot Ubuntu in it (no install), test everything, and if something doesn't work as-is, i return the laptop. After a decade doing it, no support issues. Except for energy management, which has always been terrible, if any. But that's not easy to test, and, from what I hear, it doesn't seem to be any good in Linux anywhere.
Incidentally, my current laptop is a 600€ Lenovo. You can imagine what I think of frame.work prices.
If the W3C were to decide to remove all HTML tags and leave only one, I would vote for <a href>. It's a no brainer.
Amazon search gets worse every year. It was bad 10 years ago. Nowadays, it is terrible.
Soon, we will be using Google to search products in Amazon.
If Google doesn't continue its current trend of getting worse and more bloated every year, that's it.
I really, really want that.
