Ouch if nixos doesn't work well that's a deal-breaker, what were the issues and how long ago? Other people seem to have had decent experiences with it

I'm not doubting it's possible but with the combination of my hardware and the fact I'm on nixos it proved to be too much trial and error, too many options to try and too much time to iterate as I needed to reboot every time it didn't work

Yeah to be fair I agree, I've been having an issue with suspend on my current laptop which I decided to just ignore in the end cause it was frustrating me so much

Though installing other people's random scripts and plugins is a good way to get an unstable broken system

Nixos is great to still be able to fiddle while staying stable given you can just boot an earlier install if you fuck up, also throwaway dev shells with temporary installed packages. Might be worth giving it a go

That's inevitable though, blame them all you want those people will always exist

Both ryujinx and yuzu are open source, there are loads of forks

If it doesn't spin up at max CPU usage then builds won't be a problem. I suppose ai might make it spin up but I'm not exactly doing that stuff every day anyway

Oh god no not upper management lol we're just in a small company

Not number one concern but I need it to survive long enough that I'm not just permanently plugging in everywhere I go

Not as bad if it's usb c charge I'll have to check that

Hm, I think I need to try and track down someone local who's got one and see for myself to be honest, I would guess places like pc world won't have tester models

Worst part is he's the sysadmin

Ahhh my bad I didn't read your comment properly, assumed you meant with a desktop running already

I'm not planning on getting the GPU anyway, most of my work is done from a terminal in a lightweight window manager, as long as the integrated graphics can handle that it'll be fine
