The original FFVII game! Figuring out how to get the multiple discs to work from an emulator was a bit of a pain, but afterwards it's been easy sailing! While it certainly has its problems, I can see why it's so popular. Planning on checking out the remakes later on to get more of it, but I can't deny I'll miss the low-poly graphics of the OG, as I've always had a soft spot for that kind of 3D art

Pretty good! I'm going to be able to get the first part to my custom PC next month (GPU, Raedon 6800 XT) so I'm pretty excited!

Ooo, nice! I've been meaning to learn more about cli/tui stuff, anyway. Thanks!

Tuxedo's laptops r enticing from their sleek look alone, and their Linux support is enticing. If I'm ever in a spot to buy from them, I definitely will! As for cheap laptops, I'm heavily leaning towards a ThinkPad, although I'll probably look at what other vendors offer Linux compatibility and how good it is. Thank you!

I've heard amazing things about noth Framework nd System76! I'm sure u can't go wrong with either :) and I feel ya w/ ur avoidance of Apple products, lol

I've heard they run Linux well before, but I certainly didn't expect them to be so popular, lol. Plus they're cheap, which make them seem like a very nice choice. Thanks for the model specific recs, too!

I have enough money to buy a more modern Lenovo laptop, but I'm definitely considering getting one renewed simply because of how cheap it is. I'd prefer newer age specs tho. Thank you!

Oh :( As annoying as that is I can't bring myself to completely take it off the board. Thanks for the warning, though! Nobody's mentioned that so far :)

Ooo, nice! Although I don't really want to use Ubuntu myself (nothing wrong with the distro itself, I've just tried others I like), the knowledge it's Linux compatible is amazing!

AH. Regardless, thanks for the reply. And I'm happy your Razer is doing u well :)

I've heard really highly of framework so far! They seem to be a great company, thanks :)

Thanks! They look good but are a little expensive :( they're definitely a vendor I'll look into in the future, though!

YEAH it sucks when drivers for hardware aren't Linux compatible (my current drawing tablet doesn't support it... RIP). I'll be sure 2 head ur warning about HP!

Yeah, it seems like the most worth-it option so far. As much as I'd like a newer laptop getting a refurbished ThinkPad is a pretty nice choice too

They seem pretty nice, and I'm pretty sure it's the best route to go down for now. I'll probably look for some credible sellers later and make my decision then

Yeah I'm considering getting one simply bc of the affordability. They also seem to be pretty highly regarded (if the amount of recommendations I've gotten says anything)

Framework has quite a nice selection and the modularity is an amazing feature! Although having Linux preinstalled is a pretty big draw, and Sysytem76 has some VERY nice looking machines. Thank you!

I'm heavily considering just getting a refurbished Thinkpad just because of the low cost, along with the support. And yeah, I've been making a point to avoid Nvdia for that reason, lol. Thanks!

That is quite a bonus! Framework seems like a really nice choice so far

Ooo, nice! And while I don't wanna go out of price range being able to support something like Linux would be nice
I'm considering getting a laptop for Linux and want to know a few things before I do. Some important info before I start: I don't plan on using the laptop for anything too intense, mainly writing, digital art, streaming, browsing, and maybe very mild video editing (cropping at least and shortening at most). I would also prefer the laptop to be inexpensive, preferably under 1000 USD I mainly want to know if whether I should get a laptop by a manufacturer that specializes in Linux or a laptop that runs a different OS (exp: Windows) to install Linux on later. I've also scouted out quite a few distros and have a good idea of which ones I would like using I've already looked at a few mainline Linux hardware producers like System76 but want to know if it's worth it before sinking money into it
I've been getting a lot of lag on the site and want to know if it's something anybody else is experiencing lag as well
I'm planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I'd like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It's also just nice talking to other people in general, lol
