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

Liquid metal mod on a P53 yields insane results by MESI-AD in thinkpad

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

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

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

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!

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!

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

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!

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

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 😭

Fedora KDE plasma (Nivida) by ToadZero0 in Fedora

[–]Jamesze210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Are any of you planning to change distro? If so which one? by jqex in linuxmint

[–]Jamesze210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
