hi again lovely #FediFrens 👋

yesterday’s #rec didn’t get me any answers on that combo so I’ll open it up to a couple of other options…

so – is anyone +running #Linux* happily [1] on a 14” [2] laptop with a GPU from #MSI, #ASUS #ROG or #TUF, (or others)?

requirements (somewhat flexible:

– light, pref. ~1.5kg +/-
– 14” max. unless it’s super-light with good battery (so a thin 1.5kg 15.6” or even 17” with 12 hour battery (🦄) would be fine 🤪)
– 64GB DDR5 RAM or more (more is better, DDR5 preferred but I’m flexible on that)
– good battery life, where “good” is >4 hours but longer life is better
– decent GPU, but it doesn’t have to be bleeding edge (a 40xx or even 30xx or equivalent would be fine)

bonus points for:

– switching between onboard & discrete GPU works acceptably
– sleep & suspend work (consistently)

 
I’ve added a RIDICULOUSLY HUGE (completely optional, obvs.) poll, pls reply with a different answer if you use something you think might fot my requirements 🙏 🙃
 
pls #boost4reach ✨💕✨ 🙏
 
 
edit: added the RAM requirement that I left out of v1 🤦‍♀️

edit 2: so apparently if you edit a toot you poll just… goes away 🤦‍♀️😡🤬 I’ll recreate it in a bit 😩😮‍💨

 1 or, more realistically, grumpily-but-acceptably 😜
 2 or smaller, I guess
