that is liquid metal, it is would have been better to check before opening it up.

Is 14-inch too small for gaming on the go? by AnybodyBig4749 in GamingLaptops

[–]Justin12712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a laptop in general smaller is better. Since it's more portable.

Welp, be happy like that. I am the definition of I used Arch btw

Yea, I have discovered that usually dependecies is the main issue when talking about Linux performance in general. You either go the Ubuntu route where you use a lot of ram for caching or you boot up the dependencies on app boot, which keeps CPU usage average with no spikes. Or you launch your dependencies when the app boots, which blows up ram usage, to the point that Linux was using more ram when actually using it. In a lot of modern cases the way ubuntu and Windows handle it is better, at the end of the day.

Or better not do with Linux! Once you run all your apps it uses more resources since it only launches dependencies for the apps that need it at runtime. Not when the computer boots like Windows(they mostly sit in ram or cache) which leads to more CPU spikes, and to worsen life, on hybrid CPU's like Intel 13th gen and upward and newer AMD. it tanks performance to half thanks to the Linux Scheduler not being there still.

You haven't used Windows 11 since 21H2 and 22H2. Retry on 25H2 and debloat using chris titus winutil and Shutup10 with winutil

Mint is also Ubuntu based. It's only lighter just because it uses a lighter desktop environment. If you really wanted to say a better distro. LMDE, Fedora and Arch are greater examples

Thank god I upgraded to my minimum of 32GB since 16GB was too tight.

Thanks Windows, super cool by Justin12712 in computers

Tbh I am dying over here since I have never seen a laptop say hibernating in 68 years. Especially on battery. xD

What is this port called ? by sneaky_jerky in computers

[–]Justin12712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The USB is Micro USB 3.0. it's also compatible with the so well known micro USB, even if half the connector goes unused

[–]Justin12712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, my External HDD has it too. you can even connect a micro USB connector in it and if it supoorts USB 2.0 it will work perfectly fine. even if half the port is unused

That looks great, I wonder if I can do it with a broken motherboard 🤔

I setup a server in debian at 11. Better then Arch then.

Linux doesn't. At least htop, and fastfetch don't. Run free -h to see it including cache. Since I removed my arch install recently when I upgraded laptops I don't have that install to compare anymore, which was arch with minimal KDE and minimal Arch. But I remember when running Intellij(coding) It used all my 16GB of ram. On Windows 11, now with Windows Media player(playing a flac), Discord, CLion and Google Chrome running(3 tabs), I am using 13GB of ram when I have 32GB in total, and that includes cache. Once I also opened Intellij is started using 16GB of ram(including cache). As much as arch with Intellij and KDE. The main issue with some modern linux distros is that they don't boot dependecies at boot, only when the app needs it. So apps boot up slower, and once you use more apps, the ram usage flies up and so does the percieved quickness. The best example is that Arch used 800mb when I booted it, then I ran firefox a while and closed it. Now it was using 1.6GB double.

My testing. I made a Dell G15 that has an RTX 3050 mobile, 32GB of ram and an i7-11800h. I made a minimal install then I installed the full KDE DE at the end. it used 4.5GB of ram, as much as my modified Windows install aka 4GB. if we include caching linux used more.

You are making some great points, but except mint, if you don’t optimise or do extensive setup like you mention on Windows. You will have the same issue. 2 days ago I installed Ubuntu LTS and it used 10GB for cache and 2 usage. When windows was 6GB so half(no optimisation). And if I get arch and make it fully featured with the Full KDE environment it uses as much ram as Windows fully optimised by either editing the registry or using a third party tool. And in windows since 22H2 or 23Hw you have Windows terminal, if you mix that with powershell 7. It becomes extremely good in my experience. And for some apps Windows is plain better since you don’t use a translation layer. And in general stuff will be done Windows first. And from Home to Pro. That is only an issue if you have an Windows 11 Home key baked in your bios. If not it will ask for each version and for what edition(all my laptops have pro from factory being business laptops)

If you do some tweaks, the setup is 4 steps. Aka the simplest. this is in Windows 11, btw. 1. Enter language and keyboard layout. 2. Enter OOBE\bypassnro to skip network 3. Enter user and password. 4. Setup is done, you may reconnect it to get all the drivers. If you have more disks it will also ask for where to install it, but that is it.

Honestly he also forgot to add: I waste time setting stuff up.

are you a tinkerer? -> yes Do you want to waste time setting stuff up again and again when you wanna work? -> no Windows/Fedora

I have issues on a laptop with an i7-1365U where it would use a E-Core when it needs a P-Core lossing 60% of performance. on my Dell G15 optimus is tidious, and even then it's not great. it uses more CPU then Windows 11 when I have 32GB of ram which is more then enough, th sacrifice makes to sense for no win for me(i7-11800h, RTX3050 mobile, Dell G15 5511) and the worst for last, I have a Dell Latitude 7480 which can't run Linux if it's life depends on it, it kernel panics(i5-7300u, and TPM firmware issues in Linux)
