How much was it I’ve seen some older am4 and 6th gen intel mainly hp and dell laptops go for insanely cheap on ebay and other used selling sites I might consider getting one myself
Dell has made some just… so good hardware design decisions yk? I’ve sent it in for repairs twice to have the trackpad replaced since it was flaking out and either registering nothing or what I can only assume was the result of two contact points being shorted together randomly jumping the mouse all over the place. I’m on my third trackpad, it’s not even been six months yet, and I’m already seeing the warning signs.
Also there’s a loose connection on the mobo between the CPU and the audio chip meaning that if it gets bumped the speakers will either cut out or blast static at max volume with no way to turn it down.
Also it refuses to accept power from anything other than an official Dell charger regardless of wattage.
I think people that complain about Dell laptops have been using shitty ones. There are a lot of awful Dell laptops but their high end devices like their Precision laptops are really stellar.
Yeah agreed I was making a joke I used to drive an asus gaming laptop and an normal asus laptop and both laptops had horrible build quality and kept thermal throttling
That would be nice. Unfortunately, theres currently a bug in Wayland where the panel stops updating (the time no longer changes etc.) which is a no go for me.
My pronouns are better:
Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.5.9-zen2-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2
My pronouns are /bin/bash
/bin/zsh gang rise up
/bin/fishusers rn:Yeah and next someone shows up with /bin/pwsh
/opt/microsoft/powershell/7/pwsh
pwsh is the only way to go on linux
hear me out: /usr/bin/xonsh
Reminds me of an old joke. “How do you know if someone runs Arch Linux?” “Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.”
I use arch btw
arch btw
4790 and a 2070. Interesting.
No shade; our backup VR machine uses a 4760k OC’d and a 2070s. But our main machines definitely benefited from much more recent processors.
Beautiful if a tad old my poor little amd wx 2100 has nothing on this
Uhm ashtually I use arch BTW

Bought it new in 2021 for 600€, tho it was more likely worth just 400€, now probably below 300€.

If you didn’t know: X is terribly unsafe and old. Wayland is so much better, and it’s pretty stable on KDE Plasma by now.
