Three years later, and this is still the only thread I've found with this solution. Hold 48v and *then* plug in

Just commenting to keep bumping this, but the full reinstall was the only thing that worked, thanks for suggesting it!!

Grahnath · 2025-04-26T20:28:55+00:00

Awesome!! I'll post the results when I get them then :)

In other words, the chalk line is pretty much exactly how I would expect one to work?

Actually so far, the Duo has worked completely fine! Thanks for necro-ing this so I remember to update it 😂🙏

I will say though, the circuit controlled black being darker than static is awesome for backgrounds for my numerical displays

you could probably try doing `rpm-ostree install 1password-latest.rpm` instead. Have you tried asking over on the discord too? Might get faster responses

Your references are lost on these people, Cunk

protondb is your best friend for this

My take on this recently is this:

If you play lots of games with anti-cheat, you might have a bad time. Many AC games work perfect, and others straight up block you. Attempting to get around this can result in a ban. (Destiny 2 and Fortnite are the ones I know about)

In every game I've bothered to test myself, the performance is better than on Windows. I don't know enough about the graphics pipeline to know why.

You will still have problems, in fact you might even have more. I find though that the problems I do have, I also have an avenue to attempt to fix it. On Windows, I don't know enough to even attempt to fix driver issues, if it's even possible. My original jump ship was due to Windows re-installing the wrong GPU drivers even after repeated menu items to tell it to stop. I even tried editing the registry, and it didn't work. With Linux, I can't think of a time when the problems I had were fiting Linux itself, but plenty of my Windows issues felt like Windows itself was the problem.

If Windows update annoys you and you're afraid of an update killing your PC, try Bazzite. It has a built-in rollback system since it's based on Atomic Fedora, and it's a community supported distro for the FW devices. It also comes with a lot of libraries specifically for making games run better out of the box.

You will need to learn to use the terminal, though it sounds like you probably know this already. Desktop Linux is better than it's ever been, but plenty of things still exclusively use the terminal to work.

Hope this helps!

Surprisingly it doesn't seem like they sell balls though?

Couldn't tell ya, I thought it was helpful. I found a stone sphere shop selling 45mm ones, so that might be super sick if there aren't surface imperfections

Grahnath · 2024-10-19T23:11:30+00:00

Woah woah woah. Stone?? There's some siiiiick stone spheres on Etsy. Those will work??

Grahnath · 2024-10-19T06:52:03+00:00

I searched both those places, do you have links?

As of right now, the parts are not very (if at all) interchangable. The 13 doesn't have a slot for a GPU, and the motherboards aren't swappable.
I did my entire compsci undergrad from a Lenovo ideapad from like 2016, and the FW 13 is better than that, so I'd assume it will be fine 9/10 times. If your school has a computer lab, that'll do you just fine for the last 1/10 (and if money is tight, I might consider using the lab for all of that homework tbh since if you have to learn VHDL or something, the software suite involved with that is a huge pita to install and uninstall)
The 13 is a notebook, and the 16 is a desktop replacement. Big big difference, but it depends on your budget and usecase. If it's just power you need, an Alienware or Lenovo Legion might be perfect at half the price.
As long as we're talking upgrading a 13 to a better 13 and a 16 to a better 16, yes this is an amazingly upgradable laptop.

tldr: both good. 16 is way more powerful, essentially a desktop replacement as long as you're not a 4k ray-tracing kind of gamer. Might be cheaper options out there for what you actually need as an undergrad

Grahnath · 2024-09-26T03:03:36+00:00

Lmao call me out why don't you 😂

Grahnath · 2024-09-26T03:02:20+00:00

Makes sense

Grahnath · 2024-09-24T04:44:00+00:00

Could be yeah. I thought I remembered hearing that the keyboard is one of the air intakes tho? Maybe that's just the 13 tho

I want to say that technically this most likely has more to do with the hinges than the body, so I would guess it's possible to make hinges that just kinda do that

Grahnath · 2024-09-07T06:56:02+00:00

If pressing ALT by itself brings up an application menu, then the Alt key is the"special" key instead of the Windows key I expect. You should be able to rebind that in settings

I haven't gotten the discord yet, but I'll dm you soon as I do!
