That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

been running bazzite and its been great. this is what the info center shows:
Processors: 16 × Intel® Core™ i7-10875H CPU @ 2.30GHz
Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.1 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super with Max-Q Design
Graphics Processor 2: Intel® UHD Graphics
I'm running a 3080 nVidia with an AMD CPU on CachyOS and it has been a lot more stable than Windows 7 or 10 ever was.
I used to BSOD whenever nVidia didn't like control over the audio changing in Windows, never once happened on Linux.
I’m m running bazzite on an Alienware m15 laptop, with an i7 & a 1070ti. Works great, no issues at all. When my last machine died, I rolled the dice on an HP Envy refurb machine with an i9 and a 4070 Ti Super (cheapest I could find with 16gb vram). I daily drive LMDE on it, also works perfectly. This is a desktop though to be fair.
Bumblebee and BB switch are deprecated now. iGPU will default unless you run with primusrun.
You can also completely turn off the dGPU at the PCI bus to save power.
No idea.
But what you could do is buy the laptop, install Linux on it, troubleshoot it if there is any issue, and document the solution online in a blog/wiki post or YouTube video for others to see.
That could be your contribution to the community.
And I'd be about 9k units of currency poorer with no benefit to myself.
Thankfully the samesuch community has already answered my question.
Holy shit. $9k???
Forget what I said lol!
Welcome to being a third world citizen, stranger :'3
Probly looks less scary if I say the converted USD amount is ~1760 -- But yeah not cheap at all lol
What is this bullshit? You say you use CachyOS on your current machineS (plural) and then post like you haven't touched Linux in a decade? You seriously ask if Linux would run on intel?!?!? Can't google laptop amd gpu? I just did and got 5 lines, not models, but entire lines, from different manufacturers.
Does being an ass to strangers give you joy? Does it provide you pleasure? Does it help you get over your trauma, whatever it is?
.... Also, clearly you don't know how to read.
Either way:
