Quoting: da_habakuknow give me a xps 13 2-1 like thinkpad with ryzen 4000 and no compromises and i will be the first lenovo groupie ;) promise ;)

I just got an HP spectre 360 13 2-in-1 it runs ubuntu linux flawlessly out of the box, Function keys, screen brightness, backlit key brightness, screen rotation, everything. I don't think you can say that about the Dells. It's not got ryzen though... :(

I've got an ASUS ROG laptop for gaming and coding. It runs linux really well. A recent kernel update even fixed the backlit keys.

Hi Slapin, TheSHEEEP

Thanks for your comments, its interesting to hear another viewpoint.
You said that ragdoll only works with example meshes, but isn't that true of every open source game engine?
I haven't seen any code that really does this in a flexible way.
I did start composing my own code using OpenSceneGraph and Bullet but I felt like I was reinventing the wheel! I might go back down this route, because ultimately I want to switch between the graphics engine and the physics engine and I really would like it to use vulkan in the end.
My requirements are small and C++ skills are strong so Urho is suitable for now :)
It was quite a while ago that I tried Godot, I might revisit it soon though as I know it is rapidly changing.

I've been playing with game engines recently and Godot is far from usable yet really.
But what I have discovered is Urho3D, where I have rapidly made progress with some ragdoll physics using the bullet library.
Urho3D really is a great and polished library but not that well known (yet?).
I suppose its downsides are it is limited to OpenGL over vulkan but that isn't such a big issue.
It also seems to have a large and active community of developers.

what about LMDE? Does anyone still use it? :P

Given the way this will be linux compatible and given that AAA games would be developed for it I wonder if this will launch native AAA linux games into the mainstream?
I hope so!
