🟠️ Et un nouvel article tout chaud sur le blog ! 😁️
J'ai reçu il y a quelques jours mon GPD MicroPC 2 et aujourd'hui je vous présente cette machine atypique, pourquoi elle m'intéresse et comment y installer Ubuntu
➡️ https://blog.flozz.fr/2025/09/15/premieres-impressions-et-installation-dubuntu-sur-le-gpd-micropc-2/
Pour moi il s'agit un peu d'un retour des netbooks, ces petites machines qu'on transportait partout avant que les smartphones ne débarquent 😄️

So, what’s a good used #laptop model? Do you have a fave?
I think the #Dell Latitude’s are swell looking, the Thinkpad’s as well (even if they’re a bit overrated).
Needs an IPS display and should be below 15”. Should preferably not be more than 5–7 years old or so. I need some performance for photo editing on the go.
Should run Linux/Fedora well. I don’t want to mess around with Wi-Fi card drivers, so there should be support for that in the kernel.

Ich habe nen ollen #Laptop. Auf dem würde ich gerne mal dieses #Linux ausprobieren.
Gibts jemanden im #Fediverse, der oder die physisch zwischen #Dessau und #Köthen wohnt oder von da gut mit dem #Fahrrad zu erreichen ist und mir das #installieren , erklären und später helfen kann?

I have now more actively started an internal push towards buying @frameworkcomputer laptops because from an environmental perspective pretty much anything else is mute. And from a performance / upgrade perspective, mute. Perhaps initial price. But compared to much else it's not that much more expensive, especially when considering what you get.
Let's see if I can make a difference. I know I'm due an upgrade, will try and get myself another Framework 13 with the new Ryzen chipset. Would probably pee a little of excitement if that happened.

Debian 😻
New #laptop #computer at work, which will replace my > 12 yo Lenovo Thinkpad X220. It's a #Framework#Laptop13.
Installed #Debian 13 #trixie. So far looks good, only #hibernate did not work at first. Had to switch off #SecureBoot.
And this is the good news of the day: #DebianInstaller by default keeps a RAM-size #swap partition again, which is needed for #hibernation. This was broken for ≈ two Debian releases, but finally fixed.
💸 eBay impulse control challenges 💸
Look, look at these. They're beautiful, they work, they could be mine! Yet like with all vintage window shopping that occurs on eBay when I'm in-between tasks or relaxing, I just have to remind myself that there are already plenty of unfinished projects in my purview, and to just finish something equally fun from the FIFO queue.
oooh but it's so difficult! 💝🎁

We had a great experience at #DebConf25!
We brought our two laptop models and our brand new NUC Box with Dasharo coreboot firmware.
It was great to see how much recognition and interest there was. Between the tech talks and hallway chats, we really enjoyed the spirit of the Debian community.
🙏 Thanks to everyone who visited our stand!
📅 Any recommendations for other FOSS conferences we should join?
