hi again lovely #FediFrens 👋
yesterday’s #rec didn’t get me any answers on that combo so I’ll open it up to a couple of other options…
so – is anyone +running #Linux* happily [1] on a 14” [2] laptop with a GPU from #MSI, #ASUS #ROG or #TUF, (or others)?
requirements (somewhat flexible:
– light, pref. ~1.5kg +/-
– 14” max. unless it’s super-light with good battery (so a thin 1.5kg 15.6” or even 17” with 12 hour battery (🦄) would be fine 🤪)
– 64GB DDR5 RAM or more (more is better, DDR5 preferred but I’m flexible on that)
– good battery life, where “good” is >4 hours but longer life is better
– decent GPU, but it doesn’t have to be bleeding edge (a 40xx or even 30xx or equivalent would be fine)
bonus points for:
– switching between onboard & discrete GPU works acceptably
– sleep & suspend work (consistently)
edit: added the RAM requirement that I left out of v1 🤦♀️
I’ve added a RIDICULOUSLY HUGE (completely optional, obvs.) poll, pls reply with a different answer if you use something you think might fot my requirements 🙏 🙃
pls #boost4reach ✨💕✨ 🙏

1 or, more realistically, grumpily-but-acceptably 😜
2 or smaller, I guess
My setup for recording game play tonight:
42" LG C2 OLED TVMSI Claw 8 AI+IVANKY Dock (the Claw is sitting on it) with HDMI out to external capture card, USB for mouse and controller.Ugreen external USB-C video capture card that can do up to 4K at 144hz. Almost zero lag loopback for video to my TV. It's hidden behind the Claw.Lenovo ThinkPad 14s gen 5 running Fedora Linux 44 (Silverblue) with OBS Studio to record game play.El cheapo TMKB M1 mouse. It might be cheap ($29), but it is pretty awesome and performs just as good as the $80+ name brand mice (looking at you Logitech, why are your mice so expensive?)Gamesir Cyclone 2 controller with TMR sticks.Old Microsoft Designer keyboard. It's old, but it's super compact and thin. It keeps my desktop nice and tidy.#gaming #videogames #gear #lg #msi #ugreen #lenovo #thinkpad #gamesir #microsoft #keyboard #controller #mouse #handheld #tv
AMD's EPYC Venice is coming, and OEMs are eager to show off their upcoming wares. At Computex we caught MSI's CD182-S6091-X2 (DLC), a liquid cooled dual socket 1OU2N server node#Computex2026 #LiquidCooling #MSI #ORv3 #Venice
MSI Slyly Shows off an Upcoming DLC AMD EPYC Venice Platform With CD182-S6091-X2 Servers and Racks
It’s actually unbelievable: just for fun, I decided to go through the entire Windows 11 installation process on my new MSI Cubi. Let’s see how it goes these days.
What can I say? Unbelievable! It took almost TWO HOURS just for the initial updates before I could even start setting it up! Are Microsoft’s servers that slow? The download took forever, not to mention the installations… And then the worst part: the pre-installed bloatware! Dozens of crappy third-party programs—and of course, they all want your data and a subscription… But Microsoft takes the cake: 22 (!!!) installations of Office 365 in the respective national languages! And each one is around 7 GB! That’s just 150 GB for a piece of junk software! And uninstalling each Office installation takes several minutes...
I’m going to stick with this crap anyway, just because I want to know how much of my life setting up Windows 11 with MSI’s bloatware is going to waste today. The day’s already gone to hell anyway.
