I think so.

It would be great if we could get a steamdeck that runs one of these arm chips.

I wonder if valve is already experimenting with something like this. Maybe another they will have something like box64 too

What do you mean? That they are based off Ubuntu?

Well check out gpt4all.

There are a number of different models to download and run.

I think your real challenge is to find the right model.

Do you know any programming languages?

To any Linux curious users,

I consider myself to be an intermediate Linux user. I have hosted applications and services on Linux servers in the cloud and use it as my primary operating system. I recommend Linux Mint. If you have an nvidia GPU, then I recommend PopOS as they have a version that has nvidia drivers pre-installed.

When I first started with Linux, I thought that Mint was less capable than other distros as it was the most user friendly. But I learned that you can do anything you want with any Linux distro. It is just that Mint is the least likely to give you trouble with random things.

With that all being said, you will have far fewer issues with Linux than you will with Windows.

Additionally, you can get legit troubleshooting steps for linux that actually work. With Windows it seems that there are 100 ways to possibly fix an issue and they feel like patching a sinking boat.

I think they only started doing this in the past year or so. It is decently new, but I think it is a good move.

No need to apologize for your English ability.

I have been trying to start a community here where people can ask English questions.

!englishlearning@lemmy.com

I can see a few mistakes with your grammar and I would be happy to help or answer any questions you may have.

Are you sure you can use a swap file with btrfs? I did not think you could do that. Maybe I was on old software last time I tried.

My only problem with this is that the docks are like $300. I guess igpus are getting good enough that I’ll probably never need a dgpu again.

Still surprised how well the steamdeck can handle resident evil 4 remake.

I really don’t need better graphics than that. In fact, they don’t even need to be that good.

Makes me wonder if this is a possible future. Just get a small nuc like computer and connect it to an egpu.

I’m really happy to be reading your posts. I kind of forgot about the xps line and have been wanting a “cleaner” computer and something with better hardware.

I was looking at Mac’s but you get so little for the money you spend on them.

I think it’s similar cost with the xps line, but you get at least double the ram and storage.

I’ll probably go the XPS 15 when I’m ready to upgrade at this point.

I also would have random issues with that district each time I’ve tried it. Usually it’s due to some instructions for Ubuntu not working properly. But it’s still a bit annoying.

I just priced one out and you get about double the ram and 2-4x the storage space of the air.

So, while I agree they are expensive, they are nowhere near MacBook pricing. Mac pricing is insane.

Also there are two different body styles and one is like $400 more but the specs I think are the same otherwise.

I’ve been wondering what the best non-Mac laptop is. Like something that’s premium feeling without being the same price as a Mac.

I have a Lenovo laptop-14 that I really like, but it’s a bit thick and the screen is a bit dim at times. The speakers are also very quiet.

Is an xps what I should be looking at?

Do you have a link to that?

You know… just so I know what it is and don’t click on it by accident.

I have one of these 9-in-1 usb-c hubs.

It blows my mind that so much can be handled by such a small single cable.

It is quick. it does not need to load a bunch of things and in certain tasks, I can do multiple things at once.

I also find it easier to navigate and edit files with tab to complete.

Accidentally wipes out Mint last week, but have been meaning to try out Fedora 39 Plasma. So far, I love it. I have been really busy recently, but it has been a great system so far. My SteamDeck really made me fall in love with Plasma.

They mentioned something about authentication changes. So I’m guessing it’s related to that.

Also consider the number of people in India. There is a massive Linux user base there.
