I would kill for a good Tuxedo machine with Ryzen + (non-APU) Radeon combo.... :unsure:
So, I will keep on waiting...

Hello everyone. I have a confession to make:
I'm a total addict to X4: Foundations.
Usually I turn it on just for a few moments, and usually I do not finish before 4am.

Am I a bad person? :unsure:

Quoting: KithopAh, okay - that makes sense. I don't know much about them, but Tuxedo Computers [External Link] appears to be based out of Germany, and at first glance sounds like kind of the same idea?

For Tuxedo, we do use their computer at Office, and they have AMD options. Quite solid laptops for now. Roughly the same models, but with some adjustments: they tend to use lower power screen, so slightly less brightness, but better battery life, and much much more keyboard options. They also seem to use lightweight magnesium for more models than System76 last time I checked.
And of course, VAT is included and no custom fees.

Thanks guys. Yes, this is a very tempting alternative for the EU; I will be definitely checking with them, once I need a new laptop. Nevertheless, I was also interested about System76's oss firmware, which - AFAIK - nobody else provides.

Quoting: BoldosSystem76 is not available directly in EU, is it? :unsure:

Looks like at least Western Europe, actually!

Apologies, I was not specific enough:
By "available directly in EU" I meant if they are sold directly in EU.
What you confirm is they "ship" into EU, but that technically means "import", so we have to pay VAT and customs fees. And that makes it painfully expensive....

Quoting: KithopThis... this is what I'm waiting and hoping for. Time to start saving my pennies.
Hopefully somebody like System76 can get their hands on these and put an all-AMD Linux gaming laptop together, free of binary blobs - that might just be the thing that replaces my 6-9 year old desktop + laptops finally.

Quoting: The_Aquabat

Quoting: TriasLooks like I would need more and more staff I understand less and less on my system. Giving up. I guess I'll wait for Mesa 21 release while trying to uninstall everything I installed today... :).

you can always resort to oibaf ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I'm using Oibaf driver PPA on daily basis for quite a long time.
Can anyone please confirm that C2077 works with these (current) Oibaf drivers?

Quoting: x_wingJust take a look on the number of people that are asking for CP2077 or Galaxy for Linux in GOG and you will see that they cannot have any doubt that a lot of Linux users shows their support but they don't give a fuck. "Keep buying so they notice us" just doesn't makes sense.

Can I please ask, where can this be found on GOG?

Quoting: UnixOutlawI've got 3 x Pi4 (1 x 4Gb, 2 x 8Gb)

Bought the 4 GB model last year when they were first announced but was disappointed in the lack of 64 bit choices so I barely used it...
Then they released a 64 bit buster - and I tried it on a "headless" RPi3 (running PiHole and OpenVPN) for a couple months... then I dd'd that image onto a Samsung T5 SSD and booted it from the Pi4 (4GB) - so my headless Pi4 4GB model is now running PiHole and OpenVPN.

I'm still running 32 bit Buster on the 2 x 8 GB models - why? Well there's no 64 bit ARM steamlink app, and also I use Citrix and there's no 64 bit ARM Citrix client - and this is purely anecdotal, but performance on 32 bit seems slightly snappier, e.g. things like Chromium...

Tried Ubuntu and even elementary (arm74) - but prefer Debian buster (and the Ubuntu images for aarch64 / arm64 are also still running older 4.x kernels).

Performance booting from USB3 is so much better than SD card, I don't boot off SD-card anymore...

That USB booting -> what are the requirements for that?
I have a Rpi4B (4GB) and would like to try some other booting device...
