From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm in the market for a new laptop. I'm currently considering the Framework 16 but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should look at. The System 76 Adder WS seems like a better value, but I'm hesitant to buy Nvidia.

I don't need anything super portable, just looking for a decently powerful laptop for some gaming and other basic tasks. I use openSUSE TW but even with the Nvidia repo I've had issues with Nvidia graphics.

I tried it with Cyberpunk 2077 and the latency was so low I couldn't notice it. I had no issues weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds.

It's really a matter of whether your ISP can handle it. Many of those in the US cannot because there's not a lot of regulations regarding the minimum quality of service they have to provide.

Interesting. I'm in Canada, maybe it's worse up here.

I had an old manager telling me about the 5ms ping he had when living in the states. In my mind anything below 100 was great

Also depends on where the servers are - latency probably won't be great if you're on the literal opposite side of the world from the servers that you're streaming the game from!
