I am fed up with the linux world. I run Ubuntu on a randomly selected Thinkpad, everything works, outta the box. Why should i buy a new laptop because it holds another cpu doing the exact workload? I cant code faster, cant talk faster with people and being productive 8hrs strait is just a lie. Since almost 10years i read about pre-installed devices, but i dont see them anywhere. Most companies dont have business linux apps and they wont be available, an armada of developers is busy bringing the light of the webcam functioning. Why not specialize in something else like software the entire world runs on like SAP or whatever? Its nice to spend a rainy day to compile your kernel...but the outcome?

Nobody is telling you to buy a new laptop. Same goes for software. If it's not for you then don't use it. It's all about choice. And the entire Linux ecosystem is not a single entity to "specialize on SAP or whatever". I suspect a large portion of SAP systems already run Linux anyway.

This sort of device is not really “the Linux world,” it is a company trying to provide Linux to people outside it; people who need pre-installs.

It is fine, and good of them to try, but if you don’t need it, you don’t need it.

You don't "have to" do anything, you can stay with the setup you're using right now just fine, I don't get the point of this post, you're fighting ghosts.

Or you could say they are "tilting at windmills".

Long battery is pretty nice. And you don't have to be productive for 8 hours straight to feel the niceness.

Why not switch to Windows then? You'll of course have to chuck that perfectly finely working laptop when Windows 12 declares it obsolete, but such is life there.

I think you're confusing Microsoft and Apple. :-)

Do you think that you are the center of the world and no product deserves to exist unless you have an immediate use for it?

I was pushing this into the marketing perspective. You are told what to buy...
