Maybe it looks cool but it would be super annoying when handling the laptop. I hope it's not going to happen.
Quick tip nobody asked for: If you're booting linux and it's stuck on the logo, you normally can press ESC to see the terminal output to see at what step it stopped booting up. That way you can diagnose what's wrong with it. It's hilarious to me how linus manages to break linux without doing anything, although I have high suspicions that Eurorra fked with this. No way does a handcrafted, 80+ quality assurance steps laptop for $5000 have such blatant issues. The fact that Ubuntu errors basically from the boot up makes me strongly believe so. I believe the "custom" ubuntu simply means "we fked with things" ubuntu. It's hilarious though and seeing linus lose his mind over linux and breaks it whenever he touches it (or not heh) is just great.

Жыл бұрын
@Clay Gomera I'm a well experience Linux user myself. For casual everyday tasks i agree, the terminal is not needed whatsoever. But when it comes to gaming or getting something professionally up, running, and done, the terminal may end up become a necessity out of various consequences and points of failure. And to an end-user who does not have the care and/or time to figure that out when things can just work on Windows or Mac, there is a clear solution: use Windows or Mac, especially when time is money for major companies to the self-employed. That is why Linux has not (yet) become mainstream, although major improvements are being made everywhere to get to that point one day, and I feel that day is coming soon.
@xxMastufaquxx
Жыл бұрын
@Clay Gomera yeah maybe becoming mainstream is a stretch but i do feel its becoming easier to use every day without the need for terminal use or configuring files, despite fragmentation. Many distro devs are working super hard to tightly integrate everything while keeping it cross compatible and modular. Also true on the gaming part, its relatively easy to install and run games but thats assuming everything else like drivers are set up and youre not unlucky. I have a Steam Deck and there’s honestly no issues getting non-steam games added and running with Heroic and Lutris (i just wish Amazon games had a launcher.)The distro you pick can heavily determine your quality of life too but sometimes you wont know which one that is until you’ve hopped several times.

So much of this laptop is great, upgradeability, storage expansion, cooling, trackpad with individual buttons etc. Shame that the only option to purchase it is probably 2k more expensive than it could be because of the custom lid. EDIT: just found the other comment that reveals its about 2.5k more than the original version of the product for the custom lid. That's one hard pill to swallow.

While I love Linux, Linux definitely has a ton of issues for the average consumer. NVidia support is lacking in most cases as they just provide the bare minimum to get a display output unless you are running a business grade GPU, and configuration can be a pain unless you want to learn how to use the terminal. Personally I enjoy how Linux works, but I can definitely see how it doesn't work for people that just want to be able to download any game and go

Had I realized just how bad the issues with NVidia on Linux can be, I would have gone AMD despite the fact I would have been downgrading my card, or paying more at the time I bought my computer.

14:00 segment: I've had this sort of issues with laptop GPUs all the time (except back in the Core2Duo switchable GPU of the Lenovo T400 with ATI), The reason is because a lot of laptop manufacturers don't actually use a true switchable GPU solution, that is, the dGPU is essentially like plugging a GPU into the PCIe slot then plugging the monitor into the motherboard VGA and expecting a performance boost, because that's exactly what that is. Games were later designed for this "GPU as a mere co-processor" configuration and games old enough cough up blood at these configurations that is modern laptops' "dGPU". Usually the games need the driver to report dGPU support to use the dGPU as a co-processor dangling off the side of the PCIe headlessly. So full GPUs don't get reported as supported and thus doing laptop-style dGPU on a desktop, whilst possible with the correct programming, doesn't happen (seemingly intentional). It would be easier if some laptop manufacturer somewhere actually used a DisplayPort multiplexer and literally switched from CPU iGPU DisplayPort to dGPU DisplayPort... To get around eDP not wanting to work with normal DP, using a basic 1-to-1 monitor chipset with all features stripped out so to leave the pixel data untouched would be simple enough to implement.... This would make for the ultimate laptop that would have 100% desktop performance given decent cooling. How I know this stuff? I looked at enough schematics, went back and forth to CEX trying to find a true switchable graphics laptop (so I can use the "return in 14 days" to test every laptop and get my money back... because I'm cheap like that.)
Gotta love it when anthonys linux troubleshooting hit the "did you ever do something to a penguin?" stage...
Shipping it with Ubuntu 21.10 is a big mistake. Giving them Linux is one thing, not shipping it with LTS version is inexcusable. Should have at least given them 20.04. With the whole new transition to Wayland, it’s very tricky on 21.10 even for seasoned Linux users picking it up for the first time. Although this also sounds more like Colton’s fault, so fire him

Why did this break by itself?", "Yesterday it worked, WHY IT ISN'T NOW??", then proceeded to search for solutions on Google, ended up in some forums where people suggested to enter some lines in the terminal that solved nothing, spent tons of time trying to fix things that I never broke to begin with, and finally giving up and returning to Windows. Maybe I'm cursed like Linus, or maybe Linux doesn't like me... but for sure I'll give it a shot again in the future.
