Lol, no? System76 does have gaming-capable devices and Pop!_OS will absolutely get you there, but neither was designed “around gaming”.

To answer the original question: System76, Tuxedo and Slimbook do sell gaming-capable devices. Others might do as well, this isn’t a complete list.

I simply don’t know any vendors in Japan, Australia, India etc., but feel free to provide some!

That’s not true! Some of them are Tongfang devices. 🥴

It’s true those companies have to overwhelmingly work with ODMs, doesn’t necessarily make the devices shitty though.

Still not shipping with something.

The Software isn’t fully there yet for mass adoption (Your mileage may vary, but the general expectations for a modern daily driver are pretty high), at least not for anyone but enthusiasts and developers. If there’s something like a PinePhone 2 it will probably yet again designed to be relatively cheap despite low production volume, so as many potential developers as possible can afford one.

Like I said it’s less of a problem with KDE, they even got a button to add Flathub specifically in Discover. It’s more of a thing with Gnome and Gnome Software where no “Add Flathub” button exists (and also no GUI to add repos -> they have to look up the whole CLI command), so newer users won’t necessarily be aware that something rather important is missing.

The auction centre every time they sell art (or whatever some of that stuff is supposed to be).

Or vote majority dems but still got Trump because your “Democracy” got some middle-men and land-over-people system built-in.

And even with a fair system, we just saw stupidity at play in Germany. Historically high vote participation of ~82.5% and yet still 28.6% for the so called “(christian) Union” (average Republicans), 20.8% AfD (straight-up Nazis) and 16.4 to 8.8% for Social Dems, Greens and The Left. Only reason we aren’t completely fucked like the US is that there are more parties, and the Union didn’t fully finished cuddling with the Nazis yet (they love to do so though, both domestic as well as US MAGA).

The moment you got bad education and especially a bad populistic Press democracy stops working and starts deconstructing itself. Not to mention you’ll get both + pissed off people in a completely fucked economical system.

Except the grid overload thing isn’t even an issue with renewables, since wind can be shut down in a matter of 1-5 minutes (move them out of the wind) and solar literally just be disabled. Any overload they produce would be due to mechanical failure, where you can cut them off the grid since they’re in the process of destroying themselves anyway (like in those videos where wind turbines fail spectacularly). Otherwise renewables are perfect to regulate the grid if available.

In a hypothetical grid with an absolute majority of many badly adjustable power sources (like nuclear) you’d have to work with negative prices to entice building large on-demand consumers or battery solutions. So far nobody was stupid enough to build a grid like this though.

tl;dr, this whole problem indeed is about economics and therefore may very well be a “capitalism thing”. Renewables do not overload the grid.

Which Nvidia driver setup do you use? The problems arise with the proprietary driver; if you roll back or use a different kernel than the current default (as specified by the repo) both my brother and I had the unfortunate situation of the driver kernel module missing. Nouveau or NVK probably don’t cause such issues.

No matter which OpenSuse people end up choosing, it’s a super solid decision. Even though it relies on infrastructure by SUSE S.A., a company that unfortunately has ties to the US (mostly hosting with offices and employees in the US) but got its HQ in Europe, it’s the most solid and user-friendly distro out there if you look for rather independent distros (the only user-friendly one that’s fully independent would be Mageia, but that one really isn’t where it would have to be imho). And the existence of bootable snapshots in case something happened is extremely useful. The biggest problems I’ve found are just 2: Problems with the Nvidia driver (especially if you use said snapshots), and Flathub not coming preconfigured (not a Problem in KDE since there’s a button new users can stumble over, but for Gnome you have to know something rather important is missing to look up the command to add it since there isn’t a GUI to add Flatpak repos yet).

Other than that the whole OpenSuse ecosystem is just great.

Funny you think people will still get a fair trial (or even a trial at all instead of a bullet or “accident”) in the United States after shooting someone from the regime.

Interesting moral question here:

Given the huge problems are power consumption, morals behind training data and blind trust in AI slop, do you think there is a window of acceptable usage for LLMs as locally run (on existing hardware) coding assistant (not executive tool that does it for you) to help with work on FOSS projects (giving back to where it has taken from) with no money flowing to any company (therefore not bolstering that commercial ecosystem)? While this obviously doesn’t address the energy consumption during training, it may alleviates moral issues to the point people start to think about it as acceptable tool.

To make it abundantly clear, this is neither about “vibe coding” where it does code for you badly, and definitely not about any other bullshit like generative “art”. It’s about the question of humble, educated use of a potential useful tool in a way it might be morally acceptable.

Lol no, not even remotely. There are theories, like with ADHD, but since it’s a very complex neurological phenomenon it’s far from well understood. If so we could think about how to make neurotypicals finally be a little bit more aware of details!

(The last sentence obviously is a joke, please don’t crucify me)

Same, really nice distro back then.

You mean cis-people also receive gender affirming care? Preposterous! No manly man would ever need to take hormones, their testosterone is so damn high on its own it shapes both bodies and US politics. And all that thanks to this all natural, super-straight, definitely US-made superfood, now for only 16.99$! /s
