Semantics aside, my point is that you’re even getting responses at all

You get rejection letters?

And just like robots.txt, I’m sure they will totally honor this in perpetuity

Until it also becomes overused every time someone says anything

I’ll never touch Windows again, and stopped using it over a decade ago. I unfortunately don’t have any experience related to this laptop, but when it comes to dual-booting other OS’s it’s no different than any other machine. I can’t imagine it would have issues with Windows, and System76 has some info on installing Windows

I don’t have to do anything special to run games, though. I pirate a lot, and play legit Steam games as well. Only issues I run into are related to anti-cheat, but that’s nothing new for Linux gaming. Once you’re in Windows, it likely won’t be any different than using Windows on another machine.

I just saw your other comment where you mention wanting to play CyberPunk 2077. FWIW, it runs great on my Ryzen7 model almost highest settings, so I’m sure it won’t have any issues on the Ryzen9.

Good luck with the hunt!

The System76 Pangolin has an AMD APU that’s pretty powerful. I have the Ryzen7 model, but the newer ones are Ryzen9. Comes pre-installed with Pop_OS!, but they also provide firmware packages for Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, and NixOS. I’ve also tested Nobara and Bazzite on it with good results.

I can play pretty much any game, as long as it runs in Proton normally, with very little FPS issues. Only games that chug are poorly optimized to begin with, but usually dropping the res to 1600x900 with FSR on will fix most issues.

Also, “most economical” is tough these days with the tariffs and all. I got my Pangolin for $1000 shipped, then a few months later the tariffs hit and the price rose to $1500 before shipping.

I’d go even further and say, release documentation that shows how to DIY new parts from scrap you got laying around or can find in construction debris and junkyards.

How many can $3 get me?

He look like Dr. Evil, too, with those eyes.

At least Dr. Evil listened to his cronies and acknowledged he was out of touch with his initial low-ball demands.

Being obvious doesn’t mean it’s true, especially on the internet with so little detail given.

If you look at the edit to the post, that is not the reason, so I’m glad that I asked and didn’t just assume.

You could always carry some lumber in through the front door and accidentally destroy it…

Curious for the reason why you can’t get rid of it? Renting?

I was making a comment about women and children being at ranges, not that people are gate-keeping ranges themselves. The comment I replied to was implying that red state folks have something against women learning to use guns.

It’s been extremely common through my whole life to see all ages and genders learning to shoot, especially in the red states, which is the opposite of what the comment was trying to say.

People will just use this as confirmation bias of whatever they want to believe about the bible.

Methinks this is the point, create silo’d echo chambers that are tailored to the individual’s biases. They can’t possibly keep up with all the different denominations and their particular spin on interpreting the bible, nor do they care to. AI, though, can hallucinate any confirmation desired and be convincing while doing it.

I grew up in a red family, in a red state. Everyone went to the gun range, including the women and children. It was encouraged, not gate-kept behind their strange gender rules. Probably the only thing that wasn’t.

Ahh, so this is where the concept of “rollover minutes” went, into bubbles

I hope she keeps pushing, I’m willing to risk her life for this

Interesting choice of operation name, is it a reference to bubba?

Believe it or not, it’s still less work than NixOS (at least for a daily-driver OS)
