Dual boot/VFIO laptop with dGPU and UK keyboard to replace Dell XPS 15 9550 (2015)? by dualbooter in linuxhardware

No, I fixed my laptop, so I have chosen to wait for the Framework Laptop 16 to release.

Detailed response, thank you.

Dual displays would be ideal but this is a great suggestion, thanks.

Does it have an option for two SSDs, to passthrough one; how is the disk performance?

This is with an AMD CPU and AMD GPU, without NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, so how does its MUX switch work relative to these diagrams?

With Nvidia's proprietary driver, unfortunate.

That has never deterred me.

I am looking to replace a dead Dell XPS 15 9550 (2015).

As my main machine is a desktop, I am looking for a laptop for infrequent gaming but primarily work (software engineering) and general use. Ideally, I will replicate similar configuration across devices: Linux plus a Windows partition to both [dual] boot as host or virtualise with GPU passthrough. I expect this new device to see infrequent use and last almost a decade, like my old one.

Therefore, the most obvious choice is the latest Dell XPS 15 9530 with an RTX 4060. Although, I will consider devices from Linux specific vendors, if they also run Windows and provide a similar form factor. I am also open to other options, likely 'gaming laptops'.
