For me, the bugs that I usually encounter in linux are way less annoying than the ones I had on Windows

Edit: that was wrong, 31 is convertible

I might be wrong, but I think I understand why it's happening. Running

$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_type

I am getting the value 31 (detachable), when I think it should be reporting 32 (convertible)

Maybe Domino's headquarters in our country decided it was cheaper to keep using they linux port instead of paying for windows license. I make this assumption because this particular outlet was openedafter the covid lockdown. Though, I have no idea of their rationale behind using Ubuntu.

It hasn't been long since I completely switched to linux. I have been using Ubuntu for 1 year. Just switched to fedora (after some distro hopping). Honestly, just so glad to be free from snaps and those awful modifications that they make. Maybe fedora has its own flaws, but for now, I love it.

I recently saw Domino's Pizza uses this touch device to take customer order that uses some very old version of Ubuntu (with unity DE)

  • uBlock
  • Privacy Badger
  • Language tools (spell checker)
  • Mal-Sync (automatically updates Anime & Manga progress with MAL, AniList, Kitsu etc. Supports Netflix, Prime and some high seas website)

The experience varies depending what you are browsing, but for me, it is plenty good. I can use my misskey account, github/gitlab account, can watch YouTube and few other streaming services as well (although how well or if they run at all depends on what streamingservice you use). Webkit GTK has few issues with touch screen devices, like backspace key of on-screen keyboard not working properly or stylus not working properly etc. Also, the PDF view feels a bit janky.

I don't think KDE supports styling libadwaita yet

Technically, even Gnome doesn't officially support theaming libadwaita apps. The unofficial ways all amout to hacky methods at best (applying an user made css on top of the default style).

Personally, I don't have a problem with ads. And if those ads can support further development on an open source product I get to use for free then that's even better. What I have problem with is privacy intrusive targeted ads. Even before the internet, newspaper, radio had ads. They sure were annoying, but not as bad of a situation as it is now.

They ship flatpak with their own repo for 5+ years.

The apparmour thing can get pretty annoying if an app you like breaks because of it.
