    Take it from me. I had the exact issue. I got my deck, and it immediately had that problem. It’s a problem with power delivery to the GPU I believe. It can even be checked if you look at the kernel logs you’ll see GPU error. Sorry to hear it’s still an issue with decks. RMA that poor thing.




  • When they announced when windows 10 support would end. The writing was on the wall and each update was a toss up whether it would add a useless feature.

    I knew from experience many years ago that windows would delete grub if it so much as looked at it funny. So I got an amd card and cut windows out cold turkey.

    Linux has a whole host of weird quirks and issues, just like windows. But it’s either something documented, fixable, or will be fixed in an update. I’m more excited to click update in Linux than I am with windows too.

    Few pieces of software don’t work with either wine or a windows VM as backup. But so far I’m not missing much. Missing out on some games because of anti cheat sucks though. Even though I hate anti cheat, I still love a good game of league.












  • FOSS doesn’t mean that you get the software for free, but it does mean that once you have it, it’s yours to do with however you want. No?

    To change the deal of that license under a specific condition (profit made) after that software is effectively the user’s (after they got the software paid or free) would conflict with how FOSS works.

    The software is free to be used in any way whatsoever once the user has it, that’s what free means. Altering the deal under a specific condition after that is not free. You may as well dual license the software instead.


  • Honestly, if this laptop is primarily for work, then you should stick to windows. Keep the workflow the same as your coworkers so issues aren’t blamed on your abnormal setup. You’re already using un-privacy work related apps like zoom either way right?

    Unless you really have the time and inclination to iron out these bugs on your work machine, then save Linux for your personal computer. It would help to get used to the environment and how stuff works rather than jumping in cold.

    Linux has come a really far way since I remember tinkering with it in high school, but it’s still “not quite there” yet. Crazy improvements are happening all the time though with community effort. Though idk if it will ever be at the point where it works out of the box for everyone.
