I don’t want to denigrate people that it works for, because I know the people that love them love them.
Has the battery life (more specifically drain while in suspend) gotten better? I’ve heard horror stories on that, port availability (pretty limited ports because each port attachment takes up so much space) and some complaints about build quality and durability.
Framework is a great concept, a great idea for places technology could go, but even its newest offerings are janky. I’ve seen the reviews from people who want to love them. I too want to love them. The modular tech they’re built around is cool as hell but in terms of daily use laptop that moves with you day in day out, it just ain’t it, imho.
Ive run Linux on multiple think pads, a razer laptop, and an asus gaming laptop, and they all work fine. Buy the hardware that works for you, and put Linux on it. It’s that simple.
There’s a lot more incels than femcels, and they’re all equally insufferable, toxic, and broken.
Not really. Nobara comes prepackaged with a plethora of game related utilities and tons of kernel tweaks and packages to optimize it for gaming, but I highly doubt any gamer could tell the difference, between it and mint in the middle of a game. Use the distribution you like that works well for you.
I can only assume the goal here is a value proposition that sits temptingly below team red and team green’s similarly performant offerings. They’ll probably sell a lot of them if they make the punch per dollar attractive.
As a Linux user that spent enough time struggling with nvidia drivers, this is really exciting for me. I have a desktop with a Ryzen 7 7800x3d and a Sapphire Nitro+ 7800xt, and a steam deck, so I’m pretty set for both mobile and stationary gaming, but if I ever have to travel for work for anything more than a couple weeks (which could totally be a thing in my industry) I’d love to have a red flavored laptop for mouse and keyboard gaming in a hotel room.
No, but if you want an easy arch install EndeavourOS is much more reputable.
