Its roots trace back to a fantastic Quake 2 mod called Gloom that I used to adore playing. I look forward to trying this.

My big one- I want discord screenshare to support audio on Linux without needing to hack it. My family has a dependency on discord sharing that developed over the pandemic and its lack of support in Linux is a deal-breaker; I have to maintain windows installations for it.

I made a similar transition from Gentoo; a hard drive died and I decided rather than the laborious install I would install Ubuntu and call it a day.

Quoting: micha"AMD Radeon™ Graphics" sounds badly generic somehow. :huh:
Totally, I'm sure it's fine for desktop use but as someone who plays games I don't think it's for me.

So maybe this is a good place to enquire; I'm a Linux enthusiast living in the United States and I have an ancient gaming laptop that I just as a software lab machine for development that I'm thinking of upgrading. I'm looking for a 17 inch laptop with a dedicated AMD gpu to take advantage of those open source drivers; I'm shocked by the lack of options. I see an MSI that fits my profile but the reviews say the fans are loud(I have a pet that may be a problem for). There aren't that many laptops out there with dedicated AMD gpus.
