I’m interested. As long as it has an unlockable bootloader and I can install my own OS

Try using an older version of proton?

I’ve always been a power user but never minded Windows until W11. Luckily WSL was a great gateway drug for me and I ended up switching to Linux full-time after living inside WSL for a few weeks.

Isn’t the whole point of assembly that there is no compiler?

Ideally. Depends on the update time too. I know flashing ECU tunes requires a battery topper. I’ve also killed a car battery modding my infotainments firmware so it’s totally possible. But most likely Subaru is doing it out of an abundance of caution… Don’t want an angry customer coming saying the update killed their battery

It’s because they don’t want the car battery running flat during installation. Kind of like how your phone requires a minimum battery charge to update

What DE are you using? Gnome and cinnamon have extensions for it

~ 5 watts when I ran everything on an old laptop
