Query about your linux daily drivers?

So i have my main system, i have been running NixOS on for over a year. It has been a pleasure to daily drive. And ive recently been playing with gentoo and funtoo. And althought alot of information, which is somewhat overwhelming but is slowly growing on me and making me appreatate linux as a whole. So i was wondring what other software users run, and what hardware they run it on. Ive also been looking into replacing my lenovo W540 because the Nvidia K110m is royal pain and kills my battery life. Ive been looking at lenovos t480, t480s t440p. And cant decide, i really would like at least 4 cores, good linux support and long battery life aswell as repairablility. The laptop is going to mostly be a web browsing machine aswell as trying out gentoo and new distros. If you have any suggestions on a laptop id very be much grateful.

Cheers,

Running the Fedora Asahi Linux on my sweet sweet MacBook M1 :P

How long, any crashes?

Kidplayer_666 ,

More than a month now, and no crashes. All the issues I had, were my fault. Although in some very specific situations it seems to get in a memory filling cycle until the swap gets filled and there’s a crash

MrOzwaldMan ,

Is that because u have less ram?

Kidplayer_666 ,

I don’t think so. I’ve opened htop during one such event and swap space was getting filled despite the ram being mostly empty. Even after closing everything, the swap occupied continued to increase

MrOzwaldMan ,

Have you uploaded this issue to Asahi team? Maybe they or the internet could shed light on this.

Kidplayer_666 ,

I’m on their IRC and have reported bugs a few times. However, I haven’t been able to replicate it yet, so I’m not too worried

MrOzwaldMan ,

It’s one of those, i find them while making games in Godot Engine, that one in a million bug. What do you think, a user issue, or OS issue?

I got a Framework 16 ordered with no GPU. It’s pricy, but it is the only laptop that has an upgradable GPU. I’m looking forward to a 7900S mobile GPU upgrade wherever that drops.

I have a T480 and the battery will last me 2 days on a charge for my typical use. Since it has two batteries, I can swap the external one without having to plug in or shut down. There are lots of parts available and you can find used or refurbished laptops at a reasonable price.

The downside with the T480 is a lack of PCIe lanes. The thunderbolt only has 2 lanes, which is not so good for an external GPU. The NVMe SSD is also only 2 lanes, but I still get around 1.5GB/s, which is plenty fast for me.

Framework 13 AMD.

I got a T480s for approx. 350USD. Battery life is fine and parts are cheap. Can’t really fault it… I guess the screen could be brighter? Great little machine.

Good choice.
