I just spent three hours trying to update the firmware on my Dell dock from a Linux environment. Solution: quietly weep, revert to Windows (for a few minutes to run the .exe from Windows boot disk).
Before anyone starts trying to troubleshoot it, yes, I tried all the things in fwupdmgr. Even went so far as to install snap because Dell’s Linux tool required it, and that failed as well.
How ro ruin any joke.
Concatenate all the stereotypes you had sitting around since the 1990s.
Quietly giggle.

The problem is obvious:
you learned Java
Just buy linux computer instead of flashing regular PC with linux
Brb just going to pop over to best buy and look at their offerings of Linux powered machines

My father has a fw 16" per my suggestion, and I want to get one as well, but they don’t offer financing and are fucking expensive. Like shit the bed, last time I looked the diy version was like $2,300 for the upgraded amd cpu and gpu but with no ram, storage… I’m not made of money 😫
But the joke is that normies have no idea what Linux is and even less of a clue about where to get machines that are made for it.

:p I’ve got laptops, most recently a ThinkPad X13(s? I don’t remember) Gen 2, but I want the gpu so I can retire/repurpose my Acer Predator. The hardware is solid and still doing well, but the execution of basically everything else is horrible. And it weighs several pounds, I can use it as a weapon with ease. It was 1 of 2 (after tons of research) laptops at the time with both cpu and gpu from amd, 5/6 years ago now. MSRP was $2700 if I remember right, but I got it for $1400 which is about what it was worth.
I don’t have stripey socks or a 🦈 :( but I do have a 🐯 that’s good for cuddling :3

I got my own RAM and storage and skipped the GPU
Slimbook is ok
Harvey Norman has the option to sort their computers by Operating System
Is the only difference is Home has an Office Suite? And Pro has extra support?
Maybe this is outdated information but I remember Home used to limit the amount of RAM it was allowed to use :)
Pro has hyper-v, rdp server, and a bunch of extra mmc snapins like local group policy management. There’s no reason to ever use home.
There’s FreeDos too, you just throw the exe on there and boot to it and run the exe via the dos prompt. I know Linux should let you too.
wouldn’t work from a virtual machine?
Is that even possible?
depends on the device, but i have a VM just for this purpose. the device passes through to the VM and i update the firmware from there.
You forgot step 2! Quietly weep

oh, that is the cartoonist from Exploding Kittens. I’ll add that to my bookmarks.
That makes me feel so old lol
