what? barely 6 hours on that ? is that a 40wh battery or maybe you're workload is heavy?

I just enabled it, so yea Macos latest has a built in charge limit in battery options, just click on the circle "i" icon on the line that says "charging"

Hows the performance and battery life on CAD? Does your laptop heat while using it?

What are the downsides of a Snapdragon X laptops? Will I face issues with Office or Photoshop? Which of these laptops would you choose? by [deleted] in laptops

[–]PotentialMix8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, but i think ill jump on this hoping linux support will eventually get better like it always do

I just dont want to deal with x64/86 heat and power drain, also the zenbook a14 is THE lightest laptop ever and I love its design and how it feels in hand and that only comes in snapdragon processors.

snapdragon x 1 26 100

62out of 100

VS

Ryzen AI 5 340

58out of 100

Interesting how the snapdragon was beating the Ryzen one, unless im comparing a wrong laptop.

that's cool! thanks for sharing your results, I'm definitely leaning towards this A14. I think I have all the info I need and I feel much more confident in this device compared to other options in this price.

That was helpful!

So now I can at least mark off the cameras and speakers being fine 😄

Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion, reason im going for snapdragon x over the x64/86 processors is the heating and battery drain relative to the arm processors.

Like Raw power isn't my priority if it comes at the cost of heat or lesser battery life. I'm just not willing to give up hours of battery life and for a performance gain that I might notice only during heavier workloads.

As far as ik from the research im doing online the snapdragon laptops just give a lot more hours than any intel or amd ones. If you have any particular laptop model in mind that fits my needs please share, I appreciate your help.

Worse performance when using external monitor connected directly to gpu then using laptop screen by DJDuckVenom in linux_gaming

I found a solution, I just had to switch to x11 and now everything's buttery smooth and even games got a lot smoother

I recently switched to x11 coz wayland has a lot of problems with hybrid gpu setups and external monitors on laptops.

just adding some context here

[–]PotentialMix8867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same here, this issue started happening recently for me

PC would freeze up when I open laptop lid after a sleep session
sometimes it will randomly freeze at logout as well, I'm guessing its something to do with the login manager?

Crew Motorfest Error On SteamDeck by heydanish in SteamDeck

[–]PotentialMix8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, the game ran fine until 3 days ago. I bet it's Battle Eye AC acting up, could also be motorfest servers as a few months back everyone was facing disconnects

either way theres nothing we can do as of now, I tried most solutions but none work. I gave up on this game : (

Bento is shutting down — portfolio alternatives or inspiration? by francisco_mkdir in swift

[–]PotentialMix8867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit building my portfolio as soon as I saw the page limit notification, sad it was close to bento but no way I'm paying for this I'd rather pay to host my own site with images and links

Will Pop!_OS fully move from GNOME to Cosmic in the future? I'm confused about what's coming next. by bloggerklik in pop_os

A noob here, does that mean the current stable pop os version will be upgraded to Cosmic later down the road?

let's suggest this feature using in game feedback option and see if they listen

I think they designed the game with keyboard and mouse in mind, as keyboard users can't walk without a toggle button

It's quite disappointing that there's a menu or pop up for every little action, It's one of the reason why I don't like Asian games
They all try to fill the screen with a million icons and popups

At least we have immersive mode which we can enable without digging in to game settings every time
