I know you don’t game but a dedicated GPU will be a godsend for video editing. Depending on the budget I would get a used gaming laptop like an Omen or a legion 5

Edit: worst case wait a year for parts and laptops to be really cheap haha.

possiblylinux127,

The downside of a dedicated GPU is that your battery life is going to be bad. Intel Iris graphics have come a long way and are likely fine for this kind of thing.

+1 for Lenovo Legion/HP Omen.

In this order, IMO.

cmnybo,

A dedicated GPU will mean reduced battery life. If you are only going to edit video at your desk, I would suggest getting a laptop with a thunderbolt 3 or USB 4 port and an external GPU. Make sure the port provides 4 PCIe lanes, not all of them do.

Tuxedo computers could be a good fit I think? It’s like system76, but from Germany. You can pick from a few OS including an Ubuntu fork they made ( tuxedo os ). You can tweak the laptop yourself ( different you/CPUs/disk sizes/… ) to fit your use case.

Personally I’ve never bought there, but a friend of mine has and he’s happy with his purchase.

Note: I do not work for them, or am affiliated with them in any way.

What da bot doin

fluckx, (edited )

Looks like my account was marked ( unintentionally ) as bot in my settings. That should be resolved now. I found and updated the setting

Pantherina,

Also have some Coreboot Models!

it’s easy to recommend a ThinkPad for Linux, and something in the T or P series laptops might suit you. video editing is a potential difficulty though, as that feels a little more workstation-grade than the rest, and you’ll probably want to go big on RAM (32GB would be best) and be sure to get at least an intel i7. I’ve not had great luck with battery life on AMD (shame because everything else is great) but perhaps others have tips for doing better.

you could also go for the ThinkPad yoga models (make sure they’re still ThinkPad though! they also sell a different model line just called “yoga”) if you wanted a tablet/convertible for graphics work.

anyway look at the T14, P14s, or P16 if you want something bigger. whatever the latest generation of those models is.

const_void,

Lenovo build quality has been shit lately. My IT dept is constantly returning Thinkpads for various issues.

monsterpiece42,

I work in a computer repair shop and we rarely see any Thinkpads of any age.

Far from shit. And they have among the best warranty options in the biz

The state agency bureau I provide IT support for has had 10% (8 out of 80) of their new ThinkPads returned for warranty work, with several more showing signs of developing the same problem. The USB-C charging/data port broke on all of them.

The people from Charm ( GitHub ) make some really cool programs. My favorites are Glow - markdown renderer, and Gum - tool for adding interactivity into shell scripts

Mostly CMUS. Clementine on rare occasions.

Winamp or xmmp/qmmp.

kariboka,

Is there winamp for linux?

importedreality,
@importedreality@programming.dev avatar

No, but if you really feel like whipping the llama’s ass there’s always wine

deathbird,

qmmp is very similar.

gayhitler420,

Winamp is Winamp for Linux. It runs in wine, but a lot of the visualization stuff requires that you have fully integrated your gpu drivers and wine.

Navi is kinda similar to cheat but it has some cool features like shell widget and tmux widget.

charje, in I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

Does anyone have experience with the pine buds pro? I’m especially curious about the microphone.

craigevil, in Linux tablet?

Kindle fires can be found on sale for under $200. Autosync app works great. Lots of good apps to read comics. No reason to mess with linux. Plus it is easy enough to install the Play Store.

Not sure if the PineTab would be a good choice

I would switch in a heartbeat if MS office would be on Linux. I have tried all alternatives, including MS office online and I always encounter some kind of formatting fuck up. That’s just not acceptable for my job.

MS knows this of course.

you could run it in a vm if you really have to, they have very low overheard on modern computers. mine isn’t even modern, it’s a thinkpad x230 laptop, it can run a win10 vm without slowdown. also hlps to have a vm sitting around in case oyu need it for anything else

pufferfisherpowder,

I’ll have to give a go on my old ThinkPad yoga 12.

pufferfisherpowder,

Can I ask what you’re using? I tried virt-manager with a win 10 installation and it barely works. Granted an i5 5200U is not beefy by any means but at 100% CPU usage everything just stutters.
