Are there any linux laptops that can compare to Macbooks yet on the track pad front?
I just struck out again. I bought a pinebook pro, hoping that linux drivers + trackpad hardware had evolved to the point where it was usable for me. Nope, its awful still.
Has anyone used any combination of FOSS/hardware that has a great working trackpad? I dont even do anything crazy. Im not using gestures or looking for 5 finger point recognition. I just want a trackpad that can do two-finger scrolling, good tap to click, and is PRECISE. I dont want to be playing pin-the-mouse-on-the-corner for 30 seconds everytime i want to click to resize a window. I dont want jumpy/laggy scrolling. I dont want the trackpad constantly registering clicks if I maybe slightly brush it.
Does anyone have any good experiences with something out there or am I stuck buying another macbook? When I put linux on one of my old macbooks years ago, the same trackpad that worked great in OSX was not good in Linux/Gnome either. So i'm pretty sure its the whole package. Linux drivers+trackpad hardware+window manager tweaks? Anyone else feel my pain here?

High CPU usage on newly installed Fedora
hey guys
​
I've just install Fedora but my cpu usage so high even if I didn't do anything.
​
is it because of newly installed OS ?
​
Because I use before Ubuntu and Ubuntu was very silent. I installed Fedora the disk where the windows install before. Is it because of format issue of disk?

Is oh-my-zsh safe?
Hello folks,
I have kinda unsual question.
How much is oh-my-zsh safe, yes basicly it is just bunch of tweaks to standard zsh and some other things. So question is can we really trust to oh-my-zsh team, is it safe to deploy it and what are your opinion to this?
Thanks for any answers

LUKS unlock with TPM2 - A guide with noscripts
[I created a detailed walkthrough](https://github.com/anguianoewi/tpm2KeyUnlock) complete with instructions to fight issues I had during installation.
Over thanksgiving vacation, I spent a couple all-nighters setting up TPM2 unlock on my computer. After looking for different solutions, [This article for TPM2 unlock](https://threat.tevora.com/secure-boot-tpm-2/) seemed to be the most convenient and transparent for me. However, the article is outdated and the tools have been updated, so the information is more of a proof-of-concept rather than implementation.
The process should take no more than 20 minutes, and so far I have managed to recreate it with the included noscripts in less than 10 minutes.
There are a couple issues I still have to work on with the noscripts. The manual walkthrough itself works fine. The rest of the issues are listed in the readme.
If there are any issues with the process, I would appreciate issue tickets so I can work on them. Of course, if anyone is willing to help contribute, I would be more than thankful.
