System76 sure ain’t perfect either, at least my pangolin 15 leaves a lot to be desired between the shit trackpad, awful battery drain during suspend, and extremely limited BIOS config options.
Makes sense, I guess it could be better with AMD chips
Why no Alienware? Is it because they’re extremely expensive and overpriced?
Framework laptops are really cool, but the modular design seems to make them more vulnerable.
whats with alienware? bad quality?
Yeah good point, is there a laptop or computer community on lemmy?
The only reason I’m asking linux is I don’t want my money taken by microsoft. I believe most laptop like dell would work with linux well enough. If I’m good with windows preinstalled, which laptop would have the highest ratio of quality / price?
Framework 16?
I’m choosing now between Framework laptop and System76 laptop. Both seems great, but System76 laptop seems to have a better quality judging by the looks of it?
thanks a lot!
I just saw your other comment where you mention wanting to play CyberPunk 2077. FWIW, it runs great on my Ryzen7 model almost highest settings, so I’m sure it won’t have any issues on the Ryzen9.
thanks for the feedback!
System76 Pangolin
Does it support dual-booting Windows and Pop!_OS? I might still need Windows for a few games. How hard is it to install Windows and steam and run games properly on this laptop? Is it basically just using Rufus and clicking through the install? thank you very much!
The System76 Pangolin has an AMD APU that’s pretty powerful. I have the Ryzen7 model, but the newer ones are Ryzen9. Comes pre-installed with Pop_OS!, but they also provide firmware packages for Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, and NixOS. I’ve also tested Nobara and Bazzite on it with good results.
Thank you I will check it now
Also, “most economical” is tough these days with the tariffs and all. I got my Pangolin for $1000 shipped, then a few months later the tariffs hit and the price rose to $1500 before shipping.
By most economical I actually meant value-for-money option (original retail price) I have edited my post.
“What is your budget?”
around $1,400 USD
“What size do you want?”
Any normal size.
“What screen resolution?”
Any, as long as it’s not 720p.
“Which GPU?”
As good as possible, but I’m fine with something reasonably priced. I just need to play Cyberpunk 2077 on medium or high settings at around 90 FPS.
“And if you want warranty, which country are you in?”
I don’t need a warranty.
How very sad indeed. Thank you google for helping me escape consumerism
thanks!
thanks!
Yes I agree but plugin-based development isn’t exactly “put all eggs in one basket”
the problem with fediverse now is there isn’t an easy way to search on all platforms. That troubles me a lot
thanks!

Yes! but still I think fediverse could benefit from plugin-based development. So it would be “Write plugin that do one thing and do it well”
most developers are stuck in the app store mentality
really? the developers I know doesn’t seem to have this problem. They are all like “we should make those thing into one” I guess the opinion in this post came from them as well
What other GPU options are available for Linux? Or does gaming with Proton simply require a powerful AMD CPU?
