I can safely report that is not the reason why the US is more popular in Brazil.

The Thinkbook 14+ 2025 seems to check quite a lot of the boxes. Nevertheless, depending where you live you will have some high taxes to pay if ordered from Aliexpress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G_xM0qxA-8
The option with the TGX(Oculink) port to use an eGPU is particularly appealing for some.
There is a guide to install Arch on it: https://github.com/Cyber-Typhoon/Secure_Arch_Install_Oculink_eGPU

I was thinking in general. Some games or animes they throw shots of windows on the screen. Sometimes is even just one window and some credits, like small pictures animated. It is not necessarily the split screen.
This one in particularly is an example with two floating windows of animations and behind we have the black screen that is not even covered completely.
I was wondering if there was some naming for this but it doesn’t seem the case.
I have a similar need for a “niche” install. I need Arch for it. I’m doing a laptop installation with LUKS2, TPM2, Secure Boot, systemd-boot with UKI, BTFRS, Apparmor and it has a Oculink eGPU dock station.
What is making NixOS so passionated about it? Is there something very special in NixOS that we are missing in Arch?
We should challenge some of those superlatives that projects such as GrapheneOS can coin from time to time. Those projects are not abstract master entities, they have people behind of it and they are not authorities in all subject matters. They are correct about Gecko browsers insecurities on Android however it may be questionable the use of the term “leagues ahead” in this comparative. I use GrapheneOS and Vanadium but I don’t believe that using some Gecko hardened browser would be so terrible like it sound. Specially if you are not a focused target. For example, I keep Tor as a secondary browser for some specific tasks on my phone.
People could perhaps start helping more the Servo project. They really need some help and for those that program in Rust or want to learn it this could be a very good place to devote your attention.

Very minimalist and do the job very well. I use the field “Composer” to sort my lists.
A significant security drawback with many alternative Android operating systems is that they either require or are commonly used with root access, which inherently weakens the device’s security model. GrapheneOS, by contrast, is designed to be used without root access. Traditional root implementations fundamentally compromise Android’s security mechanisms like verified boot, app sandboxing, and the principle of least privilege, making the device much more vulnerable to exploitation.
South american here, I grew up knowing those animals and capybaras and I find fascinating when the rest of the world get to know those creatures and have a blast. It is cool that something trivial for me is something amusing for someone else.
Here are two interesting( I guess) shots:
Google turning Pixels more and more complicated to have alternative OS isn’t a good sign. I hope GrapheneOS come up with a open source and secure phone alternative. Fairphone or TeraCubes using alternative OSes aren’t private or secure enough. I hate to say that but if I would be in the market today for a phone I’d be considering an IPhone.
