  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    some years ago it really was extremely hard. at least now there's finally some solid shops.

    Running Debian 12 on a $300 no-name chinese laptop from before the tariffs. Formatted over Windows ofc.

    It rules!

    I have a GPD Win Max 2 2024 and it's such an amazing device. Everything works ootb on Fedora, except the FP reader (but that's already being worked on). Raytracing on a 10" device, what a time to be alive.

    It's also very easy to disassemble, clean and repair.
    So GPD definitely wins in my book.

    Just confirming the point about Lenovo. Bought a brand new Lenovo Legion last fall, and I didn't even bother booting Windows once before I started from a Linux Mint install USB.

    After wrapping up the install, everything worked out of the box, including Lenovos hotkey for toggling the keyboard LEDs.

    I found out Lenovo has a copilot key (keycode 201). Yesterday I remapped it to running a shell script that toggles some keyboard parameters.

    I think the issue is that this is the first I've heard of any of these companies besides dell and lenovo.

    Are the companies that sell these reaching their customer base?

    I currently have a system76 (not happy, story for another time) and am in the market for a new gaming laptop this time specifically looking for amd cpu / gpu - any recommendations? I prefer Kubuntu should drivers be an issue.

    Bit pricey but the Framework 16 is always a great option for the more tech inclined.

    Doesn't come with Linux by default but they support it very well and have people on staff for Linux support. You will have to install it yourself though

    [–] s3rvant@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

    Thanks this looks like a great option and actually cheaper than my system76 for similar specs

    If you are in the US, I'm very happy with the ROG G-series. The cooling is overengineered, they have a good community built around them (see https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl), and now they're even offering some Strix Halo stuff, which is really awesome.

    Framework is great, but I wouldn't buy one for heavy dGPU use since the cooling is... not the best. At least not until they offer Strix Halo laptops too.
