overview for SeeFerns

I’m just curious about other offerings because I’m buying a new laptop for the first time in a while and mostly just miss the coating material and keyboard from the t480. I never used the trackpoint and feel like I can get a more powerful laptop for the price.

If I could find a more powerful laptop with the same coating and keyboard without the trackpoint I’d be in heaven lol

Oh I know, but I’m just curious at what else exists out there.

I feel like a major appeal of thinkpads is the trackpoint and I don’t want to pay for something I won’t use.

I’m fine with getting one if no other laptops use that rubberized coating though.

Please feel free to lmk if this isn’t the right place to be asking.

I can’t seem to find any other laptops that use a similar rubberized coating to what the thinkpads have. Do any exist out there?

I think the thinkpads are great but I don’t care for the trackpoint.

Thanks!

Hopefully Coros watches avoid this but I’m not holding my breath. Coros makes a solid running watch for cheap and I’m hoping it stays that way. It’s got what I need and nothing else.

Question about Kate (programming.dev)

Really hating all the crap being put into VS code and want a switch.

Im mostly working in C and some Python/Lua and just want to know if I can get parameter hints the same way I do in VS code. It’s a bummer to have to peek at the docs every time I forget what parameters something takes.

I like lightweight programs so Kate is my first thought but if it does t I’ll just go to Kdevelop. Currently using Geany for my really small projects or tests.

Bonus question, if I’m using raylib for game dev, how would those hints work (if at all) in Kate? If Kate is using an LSP for autocompletion, how would that work for a library like Raylib? Sorry I’ve never actually considered this all before now!

Thanks all

Is the Lemur better or Framework 13 a better fit for gaming?

I’m not triple a gaming, but playing up to like, Skyrim would be nice.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies everyone! I read them all and upvoted you all because they were truly helpful.

Looks like FW is the clear winner! I also use GIS software for work stuff/self teaching and so graphics capabilities are pretty important for me.

Thanks again everyone, y’all are the best!
