Any good mini PCs with AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS? All I see are some poorly supported Chinese companies like Beelink and Minisforum.

Quoting: whizseIt's not hooked up yet.I see, thanks for the pointer. No rush to test it then.

Quoting: sobinsirilIf anyone is wondering how to run Wine using the Wayland Driver, prepend the wine command with the Environment VariableMay be building it is behind some optional config key that's disabled by default?DISPLAY='' WAYLAND_DISPLAY='wayland-0'and run it.
Currently notepad.exe works for me :)
EDIT: Just found out that this is not working for me in the wine-staging 8.12 official arch package as it did in the wine-wl-git aur package :(
