On this subject - I am honestly curious. What kind of design do people prefer for laptops?

The majority of all non-Apple laptops have "slants" and are not evenly thick, but is this due to market demand, or something else?

For this reason, I want to run a poll. If you had the choice, would you rather choose an evenly thick laptop with no slants, or one with slants?

Feel free to reply with your reasoning.

Boosts for visibility are much appreciated 🙏

Linux 6.16 RC5 released!

Linux 6.16 RC5 is now live for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate.

In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, Linus Torvalds said:

Absolutely nothing in here looks all that odd. The bulk of the changes are to drivers, with all the usual suspects (ie gpu and networking tends to be the most noticeable, but we've got usb, rtc, platform drivers etc too).

And there's various filesystem fixes in here too, with several filesystems having sent updates last week. Not that any of them are particularly large, but there's just several filesystems that all decided to send in their fixes last week: xfs, btrfs, smb and nfs clients, bcachefs and netfs).

Other than that it's the usual random sprinkling of fixes.

Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.16?
