  • Maybe I’m not used to quality products as I’m poor in a poor country but I really loved my inspiron 14 …I bough it back in 2011 and decided to buy a new dell laptop in 2019 (inspiron too) because the 14R had died and the tech guy said it was the motherboard. I’ve never had any issues with them …the 14R is all plastic and looks fragile but I dropped it some times and it never broke. The new inspiron I got has an aluminum structure so looks it handles more falls hahaha. Anyway, I had a great experience with dell inspiron laptops regarding hardware and Linux compatibility but I’m not a demanding user. I intend to keep buying dell laptops in the future. Hey turns out the 14R just needed a new power supply and it’s running Fedora smoothly since I upgraded it’s ram.



  • Back in the day I had the idea to install Debian, but then for some reason I added a bunch of Ubuntu and other debian version sources in the sources.list to install some program I wanted … Can’t remember what happened but I do remember having to install the OS again … Ubuntu this time





  • You’re right… But I don’t have an ssd in my machine and didn’t want tons of mounted filesystems in my 10 year old machine…I’m far from an expert but seems to me that is simpler to have all my packages from dnf or apt …I’ve changed to fedora because dnf seemed better than apt resolving dependencies …not just because of the snap thing
