All that happens under Dems, too

Fucking what? Which democrats are banning books and putting together lists of trans children?

And no, I’m not a fan of the DNC, I’m just not a fucking dishonest piece of shit.

256GB LCD model is currently $399 (you might be able to get refurbished for cheaper). They have an SD card slot.

Possibly related, but I was able to download a distrobox image of SteamOS through BoxBuddy. Dunno if it’s legit or what, but I was able to play games through it (though made no sense to). This was a week or two ago that I saw it on the dropdown when installing a new box.

Edit: I see other people in this thread mentioning some old steamos so maybe it’s that I dunno, maybe I will check later.

Bummer… Aren’t the open source Nvidia drivers half-decent these days? I purposely went with AMD knowing I would be doing Linux gaming on it.

I take it you’re not a fan of Systemd

Well, there was that one time in Munich back in 1923…

Well yeah, I had been using that laptop for a few years so I knew its limits very well.

Look into Framework or System76

The Framework laptops with AMD dGPU has a port on the back of the laptop that comes directly from the dGPU, but you can also have an HDMI module on the side of the laptop, and it outputs to my 4k TV just fine (I guess depending on distro/setup, but Bazzite does it automagically). It uses both cards dynamically, and will engage the dGPU if needed.

But yeah, I mean that’s hardware made specifically for Linux, and the Bazzite image is specifically for FW, so…

Fedora is a type of hat bruh

Another recommendation for Bazzite. I’ve been using it on my main laptop for months now and it’s been great. Had to learn a little bit about how to install things on immutable distros (tip, search using “silverblue” instead of “bazzite,” the solution will be the same), but now that I understand it, I really like it as a concept. Incredibly stable.

Oh and gaming just works. Bazzite comes pre-configured for gaming (and that includes monitor switching, etc).

Just download Steam, it’ll do the rest.

Maybe get a Steam Deck? Only kind of joking… Switch to Desktop Mode, and it’s literally a fully functioning Linux PC with an immutable distro

It really varies on what distro/DE/etc. you choose. Many are very simple and user friendly.

And fucking Teams.

That’s wild… I’m currently running Steam and Firefox and I’m at about 8GB.

Bazzite with KDE Plasma. I loaded up on RAM this time when I got this laptop, and I haven’t even come close to maxing it out lol. It’s nice to not have to worry about though.

8 GB works just fine on my laptop running EndeavourOS. And I know there are much more lightweight distros than that. Not ideal, but fine.

Do it… I switched about a year and a half ago, and I can’t ever imagine going back. And gaming is amazing on it. I’ve been using Bazzite for several months now and it has been awesome.

You could probably use a Windows VM
