Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)I've gotten too used to the silent Mac Laptops. Struggling to find an equally silent laptop I can use for Linux (and buy in NZ). Why does Apple have to make awesome hardware and also be a horrible company. Distros that work on Mac hardware are too experimental right now, don't recommend them. I know all about them. You're wasting the limited amount of typing you have in this life.
Fuchsiii~~~@grumpygamer I recommend giving the current best Notebook reviewer on YT a visit (https://www.youtube.com/@JustJoshTech/videos). The newest chips from intel are supposed to be rly close, nothing on linux support yet thou.

@fuchsiii @grumpygamer yeah, #JJT sadly doesn't really go beyond the out of box experience…
- Which is understandable to a degree but on basically all the devices his crew tests there are NVMe slots so they could just pop one in and benchmark it without fiddling with #WinShit!
@kkarhan @grumpygamer Josh is actually starting to test Linux even if only for "works" or "does not work" excluding performance and such, but that is a lot more than your typical review outlet will do so...
@fuchsiii @grumpygamer yeah, most just do the "Out of Box Experience" and that's it.
@kkarhan @grumpygamer Most don't do Linux at all. If you are a Linux channel you 100% don't have the reach for common brands to send you review units, and if you're not a Linux channel why bother? Just Josh is already an outlier for bothering to install Linux and say what worked and what didn’t.
@fuchsiii @grumpygamer and that's really sad.
- Espechally since the next big channel, #LTT, really didn't bother since @emilyyoung left…
@kkarhan @grumpygamer @emilyyoung they didnt rly bother before ether... linux was always religated as a topic to “look at this server that costs as much as a sports car" or “look at this wierd thing that makes you look like hackerman™, isn't that funny!" videos
@fuchsiii @grumpygamer ti a degree, you are right.
I still like @emilyyoung 's scripts.
I wish she could release her #SSD benchmark she wrote for the "Fattydove Racing SSD"…
