The laptop is certified to run Ubuntu 22.04, so try that out.

Although they do mention:

Standard images of Ubuntu may not work well, or at all.

Seems it only handles "archived" games. So they need to be archived in a single .zip/rar/gzip/tar file.

Would it be able to handle .ISO files?

Answer: Yes. Found it in their documentation.

As far as I can tell, it's not Discord, but an open source alternative. So I don't think it talks to regular discord servers, but you can use any Discord compatible client to talk to SpaceBarChat.

There is currently work being done to get support for some snapdragon laptops into the kernel. I think 6.11 got preliminary support for a couple and patches for others are still waiting.

As far as I understand it, TTFs are more basic, while OTF can have more features and glyphs.

Omitting grub and using systemd-boot might also take a few seconds off.

Calling them "Top Apps" does not indicate new apps.

I find a lot of such lists useless in any case, since it really depends on your needs.

Can you replicate it? If you can, you can create a bug report. If not, it's probably a one-time thing where the stars alligned and the conditions where just right for it to happen.

How would they determine what is AI generated and what is not?

ElementaryOS is a great system, if you need something that behaves and looks a bit like MacOS. It's based on Ubuntu LTS versions, so should be good for a few years at a time.

Update to QT6

This one is a big thing. Lots of stuff changed between qt5 and qt6, so it was a massive effort to get done. They also used this "rewrite" to clean up the code a lot.

It's a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.
