Recommend a new laptop!
Title says it all really. Been rocking a DELL XPS 15 but has got some damage (mainly the hinge is broke and it’s more expensive to repair than to get a new one at this point, plus no warranty left).
That being said, what would be a good replacement in 2025? Eyeing a Thinkpad, though would prefer a slim model with a decent screen. Also those ASUS laptops seem decent, but not sure how’s the hardware support on Linux.
Mainly looking to have:\ 14/15” Display\ Added GPU\ Good keyboard\ Good battery life\ Excellent Linux support
Would rather use AMD, Ryzen 5/7/9 if applicable
Let me hear what you guys think!

The Steam Machine means Linux in the Living room
I'm a Linux daily driver. I have a YouTube channel where I cover gaming. I was so impressed with the possibility of the new steam machine that I made two videos about it. This is part two where I go over specific questions I have Plus I talk about how some of my concerns were asuaged.

CachyOS or Bazzite for AMD gaming + programming?
Hey everyone,
I’m finally thinking about switching from Windows to Linux and I’m stuck between CachyOS and Bazzite. My main uses are gaming and programming, and I’ve seen a ton of mixed opinions about both.
I’m comfortable with terminals and setting things up, I’m just worried about choosing something that ends up not working well for my workflow.
So if you daily-drive either one:
How stable has it been for you? Any issues with gaming (Steam, Proton, Lutris, etc.)? How is it for developers long-term? Which one would you pick for a Windows user moving over for the first time?
Would love to hear real experiences before I install anything. Thanks!

How it goes these days..
Honestly, I see more people hating on Linux users for being obnoxious elitists than the thing they're hating on.

[Tutorial] Installing Halo SPV3 using Lutris
Few days ago tried and setup Halo SPV3 on Linux.
If you guys love Halo CE, I call this a must try Overhaul Mod.
Just one issue: While Halo SPV3 has method to detect Steam Halo MCC installation, I've never got it work in Windows or Linux. So it will be good to be prepared with a Halo CE CD Key to setup Halo Custom Edition.

Thank you all!
Thanks to all for tips and recomendations I have found from this Sub.
Did final test on my test computer and I am impressed. I settled with CachyOS and and love it.
Steam games run out of the box. Heroic launcher for everything else.
My test computer is more of an potato than my actual gaming computer but some games ran way better on Linux than on windows 11.
Test computer:
Amd R5 5600
32GB ddr 4 ram
Sata ssd 500GB
GTX 1060 6GB
Only tested Elite dangerous stand alone version. Valheim from Steam and Satisfactory from Epic. All worked like charm. Zero issues, no tinkering. Just install and play.
Valheim and elite ran even better than in windows 11.
Can't even express how happy I am to get rid of Windows. Gaming has been the major block for me. Not anymore! Thank you!

Small Square Appearing on WoW when pressing shift+2?
Hi! I recently switched from windows to Linux. I am using Kubuntu and I haven't changed anything from base settings. I downloaded steam then battle.net then WoW from it and I encountered this problem that I honestly don't know how to describe it well.
Sometimes when I press shift+2 this small console like thing appears. It does not happen with any other games I have (so far I tried with Nier:Automata and P3Reload). I tried to look if it was bound to any shortcut but it does not seem like it. I also tried the only thing I've found online which is to put "SET console "0" " on WoW config file but nothing changed.
Has anyone any idea on what it could be?
