😬
just use a mouse
I will admit that a trackpoint will never be as accurate as a mouse
But it's meant to be more of a supplement to a keyboard-centric navigation
If done right, it runs pretty well since you never take your hands off the keyboard.
it just if u have space constraint
mouse>trackpad>trackpoint
with trackpoint u dont have to raise ur hand from the keyboard
Trackball is also a great option if you have no space.
there no "modern" laptop with trackball tho
only trackball mouse
still need space to put the mouse
touchscreen is great
Well yeah trackball mouse
But you don't need to move it around. Still occupies far less space than a mousepad.
Using a regular mouse with a small amount of space will likely yield to wrist issues.
what was the /csg/ approved macbook air clone?
I can't remember it anymore, some small 13inch by xiaomi or some unknown brand
probably the xiaomi laptops, but huawei has their own macbook clones now
did any of them ship with linux by default?
maybe it wasn't super thin.. just looked like macbook
the xiaomi one ships with windows 10 in chinese and the huawei ones are sold on western markets, so just w10
maybe search the /g/ archives for xiaomi + linux
or as id like to call it, botnet/china
depends on what you want to do with it
do you want to use it as a main computer or just a secondary computer
Isn't Linux ass for battery?
Never tried it on a laptop
sometimes its even better
>Isn't Linux ass for battery?
Wat
its hit or miss
in my case it was slightly worse
Huh, that would be something I gotta see in front of me to believe.
So far every device I tweaked ran better(longer) after installing a proper distro.
i mean, the battery at the time was dogshit
i dont think either linux or w10 could have squeezed more than 90 minutes
almost the same for me
linux 🅱int or win10
with tlp
and win10 has to power the spinner
