This is the equivalent of asking students to show their work when they do math problems and that is how we thwarted those evil calculators.

There's just no way to replace the massive 35mm sensor of a larger DSLR / mirrorless camera. The amount of light gathered can only be simulated by capturing many frames. True depth of field can only be emulated by imperfectly blurring estimated background area via software, leading to goofy blurred hairs. Even the reported megapixels of a smartphone contain a quarter or less the equivalent DSLR resolution detail (a 24MP smartphone photo is roughly equivalent to the detail of a 6MP DSLR photo).
Overall, I'm surprised to see markdown become mainstream so quickly.

Oh thank god
sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev libadwaita-1-dev git

```I'm quite surprised they don't provide a .deb package as that checks off 90% of Linux users.
On the bright side I keep a copy of everything in a Yubikey as well.
I only discovered the InstallingDebianOn page after reading this article but the laptop is working fine without making any of the changes. Notably the graphics don't freeze and crash, Audio doesn't have static, and palm detection works out of the box. Plus fwupd reports everything with firmware available is using the latest version.

All of the gripes I have so far result from KDE, fractional scaling, and Wayland. KDE, for whatever reason, doesn't have a configuration panel built in for handling gestures. My usual fusuma + xdotool approach for sending XF86Back/XF86Forward keys when swiping don't work with Wayland. X11 apparently doesn't do partial scaling so Wayland is needed. Wayland leaves all sorts of visual artifacts. When two monitors are involved, one with no scaling and the other with fractional scaling, I get all sorts of visual issues.
Up until now I've been holding out and using 1080p displays. I figured surely in 2024 HiDPI would be a smooth experience on Linux.
The Apple App Store is a massive pain in the ass lately. For whatever reason Apple wants me to continuously update my iOS apps to use whatever the latest APIs are despite such apps being mostly glorified webpages.
Test data doesn't seem like a huge deal
