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 wouldn’t be surprised if that’s true. But in my mind, Linux gaming is basically perfect.
Luckily, I’m not into the kind of games that don’t work on Linux.
I think Apple dropped some stuff that would make it so 32 but apps wouldn’t work and a ton of games are 32 bit apps. But I’m not sure if they actually did that or just talked about it.
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?
That’s fair, but the cars downtime and dealing with a mechanic costs more than just the $$$.
I’ve had a car in and out of the shops for months trying to nail down an over heating issue. What a stress that was. I don’t think I’ll ever consider an ice car again to be honest.
Do you have a link to that?
You know… just so I know what it is and don’t click on it by accident.
That’s so interesting. I hope that once they lose control of iOS, they allow iPads and even iPhone to run full macOS when docked.
It could work like the steamdeck where it can be in desktop or handheld mode. When in handheld mode, certain apps that run in the background, like Dropbox would stop running to maximize battery life or something.
