This isn’t a cross post, it’s a link to a specific instance’s version of a post

specific instance’s version of a post

Actually, no. OP is just a Lemmy.world user so the post exists on Lemmy.world server despite being posted to lemmy.ml.
You’ll find that if your client is properly written, it’ll send you to the appropriate post on Lemmy.ml regardless.
For example here’s one of your posts :
lemmy.keychat.org/post/799992 which exists on lemmy.keychat.org despite being posted to lemmy.world. This is just how Lemmy’s federation works in it’s current state, your post isn’t being duplicated to the other servers but rather hyperlinked in way.
Unfortunately, my client prefers direct post links and not the indirect hyperlinks shared with the federated server.

Also, you have to link posts as Lemmy lacks any real unified coss-post functionality currently.

I just want a modern AMD apu laptop with coreboot, slotted ram and multiple nvme slots, but like everything these days it would seem I’m asking for too much.

cyberpunk007,

That would be perfect.

Grass,

My modded t440p goes with me everywhere until then. I have that IIRC core2 dell(?) armored laptop running fully blobless too but it’s just a server backing up my 2fa emergency keys and such things. It was a fun little side project building and flashing coreboot but the hardware is a bit dated these days. The t440p is good for anything other than gaming or 4k movies at least.

kidpixo,

I bought a lenovo p14s AMD 2 years ago without OS, 32GB RAM and M.2 SSD, very happy with Arch, BTW. Coreboot would be nice, but it doesn’t seem feasible yet…

Why not?

kidpixo, (edited )

Modern CPUs, especially AMD. Correct me If I’m wrong !

const_void,

Yeah, that’s incorrect. System 76 is producing machines with modern CPUs that use coreboot:

system76.com/laptops/oryx

kidpixo,

Nice , but my question was more if it possible to put it on other commercial machines, especially AMD one

my current dell one has an amd cpu, slotted ram (no soldered on crap) and nvme + sata (with space for a drive); too bad the build quality and the touchpad sucks
my old lenovo one also had replacable slotted cpus (with Pentium 2020m pre-installed). The lid also just slid off (like on a rail), with only one screw needing removal, no flimsy plastic clips. I broke plastic part of the hinge on that one by just flipping it over, oh well.

Grass,

I miss the old days and what I thought the future of tech would be like back then…

Lots of good Rocco’s, but if you need to balance price and still get a high end machine, Lenovo Carbon. Runs fantastic out of the box, including S3/etc.

Which distro makes you wanna rent a penguin and smash your monitor with an apple? What would you reocmmend?

Thinkpads (p14s are a good example) are really great with everything except probably gaming. Having a good GPU usually just comes at the cost of battery life.

Fedora or Nobara for OS

If you reaaaaaally want gaming, you could look at external GPU via thunderbolt or USB 4

If you want something even lighter, Samsung makes some decent laptops with insane battery life and really thin metal casing. Only issue is they’re usually expensive and don’t drop in price like Thinkpads sometimes do.

Most stuff has already been said, but I’ll just add my 2 cents:

I/O is very important. I got a laptop with a pathetic amount of ports and I deeply regret it. Don’t be like me

Check if your university has a laptop program with sweet discounts, or look for other student discount offerings first. Could be worth it.

Wouldn’t join some research center as engineer make more sense than going through university again?

therealjcdenton, in Linux laptop recommendation thread🐧💻

I can’t seem to find an AMD GPU based laptop with 144hz display that isn’t absurdly expensive, does anyone know of one?

joyjoy, in [Crosspost] "Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex..."

Obviously Fedora is the best operating system. 40 is coming soon.

Any rolling release still wins because they are at version 2024.1.9

Neon,

Even better:

20240109

neonred, in It happens 🤷

What is this “Windows” thou speakest of? I use grub just to experiment with kernel options and select different kernels without writing too often to the efi eeprom

Not a laptop, but I replaced my old laptop with a micro PC from minisforum EM680 and I’m very happy running Linux Mint in it. If you tend to use your laptop on the same spot, it’s a great way have a more performing and ergonomic PC for the same or lower price.

I can power it from my monitor, so I can have only one cable at the desk. Bluetooth and wifi working out of the box.

At any rate, I suggest you stick to AMD graphics as they have native open source support.
