Unfortunate. My wife has an inspiron 7000 gaming laptop that I bought for school in 2016… it has survived a repair to the screen due to being ran hard and dropped often, but it is still a powerhouse and keeps up with any task thrown at it with Fedora Kinoite. The keyboard stopped lighting up a few years back but other than that it shows no sign of stopping.
I still have the refreshed second gen version running, got an android 12 rom flashed and now it is being used with an amcrest camera as a privacy friendly nanny cam monitor!
If you buy new and sell before 100k miles, Hyundai/Kia are great. Otherwise, you better be okay with oil consumption and potential engine work, the new engines are kinda prone to failure.
what are you using as a hypervisor? if it is virtualbox you will struggle to get smooth video playback, its gpu support is very poor. vmware is much better. yes yes it is proprietary but so is virtualbox with extensions which is the only way to make it kinda usable lol
Nice foss alternative to obsidian is Logseq. Not completely feature for feature, but still very cool and powerful. I use it daily.
Gonna back this up as well, never had an issue for 5 concurrent releases
Check out distrobox. Allows you to run any distro in a container and use the apps on your system like they are native.
I used nvidia with vrr on linux for a while before getting sick of the paper cut issues. I used gnome fedora which has pretty good support for nvidia wayland, and then whenever I wanted to game I logged out and into x11 with a single monitor config, as that would allow vrr to activate. it was janky but it worked and worked well. If you are stuck with Nvidia for the foreseeable future it is the only way if you are dedicated to the linux route.
really buggy on fedora kinoite
