You are falling into a common trap. LLMs do not have understanding - asking it to do things like convert dates and put them on a number line may yield correct results sometimes, but since the LLM does not understand what it's doing, it may "hallucinate" dates that look correct, but don't actually align with the source.

You might get lucky. Based on https://support.system76.com/articles/system-firmware/, it doesn't seem to be all models. Note however that the list is out-of-date; my galp5 is not listed, but does not work. Fortunately, I found this out doing a RAM check, and not a firmware upgrade.

My usb-c ports can be a little touchy, too. The SD card slot is also really bad - the card has to be positioned perfectly to slide in, or it jams. I'm also upset that the usb-c port can only be used for charging after a full boot. It cannot be used to perform firmware updates, or even to do a ram test. This means day-to-day, usb-c can be used, but I have to keep track of the barrel charger, just in case. This, of course, was not specified on the product details page (nor, I think, that only one of the two usb-c ports could be used for charging - it's possible I overlooked that, but still frustrating on an expensive laptop that lists usb-c charging as a feature).

I currently have a System76 laptop, and sincerely regret my purchase. When I purchased it, the Framework was not out yet - I wanted to support a company that supports right-to-repair, and figured since they controlled the hardware, firmware, and software (Pop!_OS), it would be a good, stable experience. It has not been, and support has generally been poor. I know other people have had better experiences than I have, but personally, I won't be buying from them again.

I haven't personally used Purism, but former co-workers spoke really poorly of them. They were trying to buy a big batch for work, and said the build quality was awful. Additionally: https://youtu.be/wKegmu0V75s

Thanks! I just cross posted it.

Thanks! I am in the US. I've never heard of RH, but I'll definitely check them out.

Not sure what landscape features you're looking for, but I've been pretty happy with Voyager. I switched from liftoff/jerboa after lemmy.ml took the 0.19 update and they broke. It's been good enough that I think even if the others hadn't broken, I'd still choose Voyager over them.

grep -r string .

The flag should go before the pattern.

-r to search recursively, . refers to the current directory.

Why use . instead of *? Because on it's own, * will (typically) not match hidden files. See the last paragraph of the 'Origin' section of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming). Technically your ls command (lacking the -a) flag would also skip hidden files, but since your comment mentions finding the string in 'any files,' I figured hidden files should also be covered (the find commands listed would also find the hidden files).

EDIT: Should have mentioned that -R is also recursive, but will follow symlinks, where -r will ignore them.

The battery life and speakers will certainly be model dependent. The quality of the machine I received and the lackluster support, given the price I paid, are what I find most frustrating. The computer would be fine for ~$600, but I paid over $1000. I paid a premium expecting System76 to hold themselves to a high standard, and so far, they've let me down in multiple ways.

I do recognize with a different model, the experience could be 180°, but if buying from them is a roll-of-the-dice, for me personally, that's enough to buy from someone else next time.

I would not recommend them. I bought a Galago Pro in 2020, and it's been a huge disappointment. Pop!_OS was very buggy, and their support was not helpful. I ultimately installed Ubuntu, and it's now significantly more stable, but I'm left asking the question "why did I pay a premium for a clevo, when I'm not getting anything out of the custom software or support?"

Even with Ubuntu, it's not a good laptop. The speakers are worse than my phone, a fully charged battery will die completely in less than a day when the laptop is suspended, it runs unbelievably hot. As a developer who depends on this machine for daily work, it's been intensely frustrating.

Brother from Another Series, featuring Kelsey Grammer as Sideshow Bob, and David Hyde Pierce as his brother, Sideshow Cecil (Fraser and Niles Crane, respectively). Bob, out on parole, teams up with Bart and Lisa to thwart Cecil's plan to blow up a dam, and flood the town.

The pie in the face gag is only funny when the guy's got dignity.
