I have Nobara running on an old Lenovo Flex 15 with an 8th gen i5. Everything on it worked right out of the box including the multi-touch screen, I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t work on any other distro. I can’t tell the difference in responsiveness between Windows and Linux on it.

Led is not spelled the same as lead.

The use of moimoi is itself a meme.

I’m kind of shocked that it’s only been 18 years since the last 486 chip was made. It was launched in 1989 and discontinued in 2008, while the original Pentium was launched in 1993 and discontinued in 1999. Hell, the Pentium 4 was discontinued in 2007.

It’s disposable in the sense that it costs basically nothing to make and can easily be disposed of if you need to. A bit of heat and it’s no longer a gun, and nobody would know that it ever was.

The OP states that the officer searched the backpack on the scene, drove it to the precinct during which time there is no footage for the 11 minutes, and THEN found the gun in the front pocket of the bag while at the precinct.

A lot of dumb coincidences need to line up for everything to so convently work out in the police’s favor.

They called it a manifesto, which is why I used the term. If it’s real, he was basically just carrying around a written confession in his backpack just to make the cops’ jobs easier, I guess.

If it’s actually the gun used in the murder, it may have been found previously. It’s a disposable weapon, after all. They may have found the gun in NYC and figured they can’t tie it to anyone unless it’s conveniently found on the person they arrest.

Now I’m not saying that IS what happened, but it very well could have happened. The circumstances behind the handling of evidence have been very suspicious and a little bit too convenient.

Some people think he did it and are pretending he didn’t, and others don’t think he did it and are pretending he did.

Right now, he’s just a name and the people associate with a cause, and the police associate with a crime.

Even if he committed the crime, and kept all the evidence conveniently in his backpack

Yeah, he conveniently carried around a disposable weapon used in a murder that he was wanted for, instead of disposing of it. Also he conveniently wrote a manifesto related to the murder and carried that around in his backpack as well.

Nothing suspicious here. Move along.

Here’s the thing: they’re saying it’s him, but the evidence is poor and suspicious, and they’ve been making lots of procedural “mistakes” trying to put him away. Like way too many obvious mistakes that you just can’t afford to make in a case like this.

Maybe he did it, maybe he just vaguely looks like a guy in a low-quality photo near the scene of the crime.

I think there are enough issues with the entire process that I wouldn’t assume he’s definitely the guy. But he’s the face that’s been associated with the so called crime, and it gives people something to rally around.

Until those willing to stand up and fight build up into a critical mass, every individual is at risk of being disappeared by the thought police. So until then, there is a good reason to be scared.
