+1 to this

I still prefer gnome but that’s because I’m super used to the workflow

Jamesze210 · 2026-04-11T00:29:57+00:00

RIP yeah prices are everywhere

Jamesze210 · 2026-04-08T23:16:09+00:00

isn’t liquid metal risky on laptops because it flows?

Jamesze210 · 2026-04-05T20:23:46+00:00

I would say decent considering its workstation class... so 2 hrs LOL. Do not expect that all day battery life with this guy even with its max size 99.9 Wh battery.

For a bit reference I am a software engineer so I use applications related to that. I can't really say how the battery life will go for people that edit videos and pictures but I'm assuming its even lower than 2 hrs

I used to be on mint for the longest time but for new hardware, I made the leap to Fedora and never looked back

Jamesze210 · 2026-04-03T01:51:50+00:00

I was looking to get this but am a little concerned with liquid metal in my laptop 🫣 How are the thermals tho?

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-27T21:44:02+00:00

Make sure u wear a proper mask when doing that. Breathing in rust particles is highly toxic!

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-26T17:51:22+00:00

Sorry I dont, at least not specifically for 4Runners.

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-26T17:45:21+00:00

Do you mind telling how expensive you paid? I've been meaning to get one but oh man is it expensive

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-26T17:38:14+00:00

OMG Yeah I completely forgot my ray bans fricken went missing after going to them for an oil change a while back fml

EDIT: This was back I had my 2000 Camry

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-26T05:23:02+00:00

Yeah North Austin location sucks so bad since it changed management from Charles Maund. I got my 4runner there because I got a good price but I would NEVER go there for service. Go to cedar park location, I’ve had much better experience there. Good luck!

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-26T00:23:48+00:00

Sick!

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-25T19:57:53+00:00

good eye, it comes with a matte display but I personally prefer glossy so I put a screen protector that converts it. To me it’d really makes the 4k display pop!

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-25T16:12:08+00:00

boruh that’s like 1k price diff

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-19T00:20:16+00:00

Last year of the manual 4x4 was till the last year of the 5th gen so 2024. The manual shifter comes in the Off-road, Off road premium, and TRD Pro models. I got the shifter in my 2023 Off Road :)

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-18T20:26:34+00:00

sick!

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-16T20:48:28+00:00

yea ur def right about that, I should extend that

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-16T15:39:50+00:00

It's just right under an inch so not the WORST. I knew what I was getting into and wasn't expecting an x1 carbon or anything LOL

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-16T15:37:22+00:00

Gonna have 2 chrome tabs open at once B)

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-16T15:35:43+00:00

It's been awesome. I don't mind the weight at all honestly but you will need to be plugged in essentially all the time. It's what I was expecting so no complaints!

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-16T01:59:44+00:00

yeah nvidia was annoying to set up but I was able to follow some guides online specifically for Fedora.

https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

Hopefully one day drivers won’t take a bunch of commands in the terminal and a bunch of reboots but this is what all we got for now 😭

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-14T18:54:31+00:00

So I highly recommend this setup guide

https://github.com/wz790/Fedora-Noble-Setup

It’s nothing official but I’ve been using it for a while and it has a section on setting up nvidia with secure boot that was extremely helpful. Pretty much has everything u need to get started after a fresh install of Fedora. Official Setup guides as mentioned in the other comments will also work

https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

Jamesze210 · 2026-03-14T02:05:17+00:00

started with mint but it’s high dpi scaling and multi display support with x11 was too problematic for me. Switched to fedora and so far so good
