“I don’t use systems btw” 🤓☝️

What the hell even is this?

Dunno why this is being down voted, obviously they’ll make their own fork and it’ll likely be no different than the regular kernel and they’ll just be constantly rebasing

“dear we have guests coming, bring it the fine china”

Gaming laptops usually have atrocious battery life, especially ones with Intel i9s and comparatively weak GPUs. Means they put the whole budget of the laptop into the CPU and nothing else.

Whenever you have applications were implementations are plentiful the only real differentiation you can do without creating a different user experience is the technologies used to develop it. The importance of which in people’s perspective is several things, mostly supporting technologies they like and want to see grow and possibly being skilled in the underlying technologies to actually contribute back.

Certain technologies are also just hot garbage, I swear to God if I have to install another electron app for some messaging platform I will shit myself.

Wayland “leaves blind users behind” due to its security oriented design. A protocol or portal of some kind is going to need to be created to solve this problem, but progress here is severely lacking.

Honestly use a program like fastfetch, it’s a CLI app.

Otherwise, from memory, Mission Center might show it

Mission center is the true task manager replacement

They put in the absolute minimum amount of resources for it.

It’s also littered with bugs as the ZLUDA project has noted

Who would’ve thunk that big, for profit, tech companies don’t care about us :T

Kinda, we’re all a little confused here.

Modem hardware.

The default kernel Mint has installed isn’t new enough to support cards like the 7900 XT. Though this can be fixed by updating the kernel using Mint’s kernel version utility

*I get a kick from not having any professional workloads that require GPU compute

Fixed that for you.

As long as the drive the swap is on is an SSD, yeah absolutely

Nah, it’s because $400 for a GPU enclosure is insane, at that rate I can just get the mid-range GPU built in with the regular price of the laptop

I would hardly consider high refresh rate monitors to be exotic. They’re quite common.

I wonder what distros they tried though. Considering this is a thread on Nobara I wouldn’t be surprised if they had issues with the variety of gaming distros available

TL;DR, ddosing AUR multiple times, poorly maintained certificates, and a generally bad take on Arch that causes lots of problems for the uninitiated.

To temper your expectations you’ll likely have some problems. But you’ll have the ability in future to make use of new display technologies, like VRR and HDR
