ik, I'm still starting the ratrace early with a goal of excelling at academia and making a good network of associates
>Xiaomi can make good phones, they just chose to ship the worst hardware to Bangladesh.
Hardware isn't the issue tbh, the build quality so far has been solid, and afaik they have manufacturing plants in BD now.
>Same with Linux
Not at all tbh, say I goto the market to buy a GPU, or a soundcard, a NIC, a nice camera with fancy face tracking etc features, or any other peripheral, and turns out they have botched support (e.g. RGB doesn't work, noise/echo cancellation doesn't work, I can't use the mobo and the frontpanel mic/speaker jacks as separate devices like I can on Windows with realtek audio, patches aren't mainlined so I need a custom kernel etc)
I can curate my hardware choices when building a PC or buying a laptop, but I can't fucking give up a good deal on perfectly fine peripheral just because linux doesn't work with it.
As for my last linux experience, the hardware of my laptop worked flawlessly, literally zero issues, and my printer COULD print, but the QoL shit like Head Cleaning etc require some janky OEM software that has a separate systemd service running a daemon that doesn't work properly outside of Ubuntu, they provide sources for it, but so far it fails to compile in both Arch and Fedora.
Now sure, I could Head Clean or Powerwash via hardware buttons, but I much prefer the software approach.
Linux has bullshit design decisions and inconsistencies that make it a shit desktop OS, vital things like udev/udisk, various systemd utilities, pipewire etc have either shitty or non-existent documentation, unless you join 10 different matrix/irc chats and talk with the devs directly you wouldn't know wtf to do, making apps for linux is a masochistic endeavour (I tried), compare that to Windows where MS docs are extremely detailed and of quality, the obscure/hidden apis also have decent unofficial documentation.
I used Fedora for 1.5 years anon, I made and contributed to various FOSS projects, I know linux inside out.
>It is fine, you are not a scientist or someone needing HPC
Anon, desktop and HPC usecases are entirely different, HPC usecase doesn't need fucking sound, or smoothness of the UI, or ability to use the 12183 different peripherals in existence.
