hi again lovely #FediFrens 👋 yesterday’s #rec didn’t get me any answers on that combo so I’ll open it up to a couple of other options… so – is anyone +running #Linux* happily [1] on a 14” [2] laptop with a GPU from #MSI, #ASUS #ROG or #TUF, (or others)? requirements (somewhat flexible: – light, pref. ~1.5kg +/- – 14” max. unless it’s super-light with good battery (so a thin 1.5kg 15.6” or even 17” with 12 hour battery (🦄) would be fine 🤪) – 64GB DDR5 RAM or more (more is better, DDR5 preferred but I’m flexible on that) – good battery life, where “good” is >4 hours but longer life is better – decent GPU, but it doesn’t have to be bleeding edge (a 40xx or even 30xx or equivalent would be fine) bonus points for: – switching between onboard & discrete GPU works acceptably – sleep & suspend work (consistently) edit: added the RAM requirement that I left out of v1 🤦‍♀️   I’ve added a RIDICULOUSLY HUGE (completely optional, obvs.) poll, pls reply with a different answer if you use something you think might fot my requirements 🙏 🙃   pls #boost4reach ✨💕✨ 🙏     #ASUSROG #ASUSTUF        1 or, more realistically, grumpily-but-acceptably 😜  2 or smaller, I guess

    @itgrrl@infosec.exchange how good does the GPU need to be? the built-in Radeon 8060S/8065S in the Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 395/495 doesn't suck - can do 1080p gaming quite handily (around the same as a mobile RTX 3080/5070) and AMD driver support on Linux is first class thanks to Valve/Steam https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-8060S-Benchmarks-and-Specs.942049.0.html
