@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.

To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:

Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!

Linux 6.15 RC2 released!

Linux 6.15 RC2 has been released for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes. Spectre RSB mitigation cleanups for AMD and Intel processors, various graphics driver fixes, and all other important fixes for different kernel components.

In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, Linus Torvalds said:

It's Sunday, just barely afternoon, and I've pushed out the rc2 tag.

Things look fairly normal. Yes, this was a larger-than-usual merge window, but at least for now rc2 looks pretty much in line with normal statistics both when it comes to number of commits and to the diffstat. Nothing particularly stands out to me, but it's early in the release yet, so let's see how it goes...

About a quarter of the patch is selftests updates, which is perhaps a bit unusual but at the same time certainly not alarming.

Other than that, it's all pretty evenly spread out: drivers (gpu is about half of that), arch updates, core kernel and networking,
filesystems, documentation. A little something for everybody, in other words.

Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.15?

I'm really simping over the new #Framework12 Laptop with touch screen & stylus.

Currently I use a X220 with 8 GB RAM and transferring drawings and reference images to me old Microsoft Surface via USB.

The X220 is already failing and tbh I feel like my usual strategy of "waiting til there's a second hand market" won't work with this product.
