@kkarhan@infosec.spaceYes and no.
#Apple's #iPad makes it easy to test, build and sell #CCSS [commercial closed-source software] at a premium.
I mean, I'm happy with my #X230Tablet but I do acknowledge this is an old device and it's rather the exception than norm...
Simply because #Wacom makes good passive stylus and pen-capable touchscreens.
So OFC companies that have the money and resources to build premium #apps will target the premium customers who by virtue ob being able to splash 4 digits on a tablet brand-new will be proven more able to pay for their software.
That's why #Autodesk won't even sell people a #Linux license for #Maya (or any of their other tools) unless one has proof of ownership of a certified workstation (i.e. HP Z-series) with a #RHEL [#RedHat] #Workstation #subscription active to begin with.
And yes they will run the machine's serial # to check if it's ordered with parts that fit their system requirements from the factory and will demand the same for RHEL. I've been there and had to do that before they even consider offering one a subscription!
Compare that to like #AffinityDesigner on #iOS (or rather "#iPadOS") and the fact that basically all iPad users are expected to have an Apple account and credit card linked to it for the #AppStore and it's no wounder the developers of creative apps will focus on that.
The only exception are #FLOSS #apps that are native to Linux and/or got started on other #Unix Systems [#blender started out on #IRIX as CCSS] and serve #macOS & #Windows as 2nd & 3rd tier platforms [i.e. #darktable oftentimes had no Windows builds because none of the devs had or wanted a Windows machine to test on!]

@kkarhan@infosec.space@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.
To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:
They have #SolderedDownRAM even on P-Series #Workstation machines, not just cheap cheap #Lenovo consoomer devices.
Batteries ain't toolfree-swappable anymore!
#WWAN modules are worse (i.e. #Fibocom #850GL aka. #Intel #XMM7360)
#Linux support gets worse and neither Lenovo nor @ubuntu feel responsible on a "#Ubuntu-certified Workstation" (i.e. #P15v)
Less & Worse #Docking options.
Most machines don't offer Linux or to eveb to opt-out of #Govware noone should pay their overcharged premium for (in fact #Microsoft pays Lenovo $25 for every #Windows #preinstall so they don't ship Linux, they don't even pay the $10 for an #OEM-#UEFI-Key, much less the $135+ of a #SystemBuilder version they charge for!)
...
Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!
Dell Pro Max laptops & desktop PCs with Intel Arrow Lake launch this month (AMD and next-gen graphics options coming this summer)
This year Dell is rebranding its laptop and desktop computers with a new set of names that the company claims will be easier to understand. But I spent a long time looking at the company’s press release trying to figure out exactly what Dell is actually launching this month.
That’s because its new Dell Pro Max laptop and desktop computers are sort of Dell’s new top-of-the-line […]

@kkarhan@infosec.space@annantidote AFAIK, @almalinux and @rockylinux alongside @centos are supoorted.
The only proven to be supported option is the Studio version on #RHEL #Workstation (notshure if @SUSE / #SUSE #SLED or @thelinuxcast / #OpenSUSE support it!)...
@kkarhan@infosec.space@backpulver @saiki Das #Autodesk-Zeugs gibt's auch unter #Linux*
mit #RHEL #Workstation auf zertifizierter #Hardware; die prüfen das bevor mensch überhaupt das kaufen kann!
Je nach bedarf kann auch Zeugs von #DassaultSystémes interessant sein...
Wofür wird's gebraucht?
#Solaris aficionados: I remember a repo back in the #Solaris7 and #Solaris8 days from which I could download and install #GNU versions of common utilities. (Solaris tar in particular I remember being quite hobbled.) Was it pkgadd I used to fetch the binaries?
Does any such repo still exist for GNU tools from that era? Or perhaps there are instructions to allow me to host my own?
@etchedpixels 6000$ for a new workstation is on my wishlist for running Deepseek-R1 locally. (The actual model, no distillations, and Q8 quantization for full quality)
Complete hardware + software setup for running Deepseek-R1…

« Mes prochaines #intentions d'amélioration de ma #workstation »
@itsfoss me too, I only use #linux as a #workstation, thus Linux #desktop is the primary use case for me 
#linustorvalds is a #legend
@publicvoit@graz.social@sanityinc I'm no hardware expert but I'd probably buy a cheap ThinkCentre on the 2nd hand market. Should be #energy efficient and has enough power for your use-cases IMO. Costs probably ~100-150€.
I personally switched from #RAID(5) to one single very large HDD over 15 years ago (currently 16TB). It's less complex, cheaper and consumes less energy.
Currently, I do have a basically noise-less i5 in a cool mini tower which has an idle consumption of <20W which runs 24/7 using #Debian stable.
My components (from early 2023): https://geizhals.at/wishlists/2985583 Most components are from a #heise DIY-article from 2022-11 or so.
I use it as my personal #workstation as well as a #NAS as well as our home server. I've never owned a better computer so far and I'll never switch back to 1-litre-computers anymore (e.g., intel #NUC).

Geizhals.atMy office is almost clean for the first time in many years!
Question for the hive mind: leave my laptop station in the corner, or move it to the long, flat arm of the desk?
After many frustrations with my gaming laptop, I decided to take the leap and get a "mobile workstation" for my next laptop. I figured the box was heavy because it had all the accessories and charging stuff in it; it only had a power supply, but this Precision 7680 laptop is a BEAST! In an age where laptops are razor thin with no ports, this thing feels like a blast from the past -- but this is way more useful for me.
