After a few days (weeks?) of using Linux again, I’m happy to report that some of my fears turned out to be outdated.
On my T470, suspend works perfectly, and the battery life is more than decent!
My main problem is that the screen has a crappy resolution, that I apparently can’t hardware-upgrade.
But looking at laptops on the market, none seem to have a screen that makes @cassidy’s dippi happy
@thibaultamartin @cassidy I have a 2024 Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1, can't praise it enough.
Dippi's unhappiness can be ignored these days, because of fractional scaling. You can have normal UI size for any display resolution / physical size combo.
See the video in https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/discussions/480
@thibaultamartin Huh, yeah it says so for my 14" screen w/ 2880 x 1800 too. I'm quite happy with it. Though I thought it used 2 x scale. niri says 1.75. I wonder if it was the same w/ sway, I don't remember configuring it.
@thibaultamartin @cassidy lenovo yoga 7, 16" edition has 1920x1200 and seems to makes dippy happy and its an OLED screen (i have the 14" edition and its sublime)
Cons: no firmware support for linux sadly
