Preparing for with hardware compatibility tests on a relative's laptop.

fails, () excels!

@kidietz try with a live cd! Last weekend, at an installfest, we tried an upgrade on a machine and the video driver glitched, so we decided not to do it. We also found a potential change in behavior that at least we managed to change with config.

@mdione, ah, yes, and that's just what I did. 🤓

Though, I see now that I accidentally buried that info in the second image (🔍 in on the label on the USB-pendrive) and it's alt text.

@mdione, understandable. I'm happy with the i3-compatible Wayland compositor sway 🤓

@kidietz

One of the most recent processors which will not be supported is the *AMD Ryzen™ 5 4680U Microsoft Surface® Edition* released in april _2021_.
That's only 4 years ago!🤨

And yes, you can still buy microsoft branded laptops with these processors. Buy now to squeeze a few months out of your brand new computer 🤑

Easier to support, and the user of this specific machine is luckily more than covered with / applications.

@kidietz of course, if everything works this is the way
