Joke is on you, my distro doesn't allow me to install from tarball because everything is installed into the Nix store
Yes, my laptop is ten years old. It doesn't support nvme and its HDD is dying. I need a new one. I'm not going to throw money on a 5000 series Intel laptop with a GPU that has been out of order for five years.
It can't handle AV1 decode even in software. It supports 4K, but not actually fast enough to play back videos in this resolution.
The HDMI port is half broken. Even if I upgraded the other parts, I'm not going to solder a new port.
I also want to support Framework and their goal of repairable and upgradable laptops
That's why the long term solution is not using Ubuntu
This is not true, I desnapped my Ubuntu and pinned Firefox to use the repo. You can do that for any software to force Ubuntu not to install snap.
That's the problem with the Ubuntu model. I'm using stable Wine with other unstable packages in NixOS because I can. I don't have to choose a version, since dependencies are not installed globally
I want my framework laptop, and I'm considering waiting for a faster RDNA 3 mobile chip. They are currently all powered limited rx 7600 chips
No, fuck red hat, use something else.
Using snap is your own fault. I only use it for command line applications. You use some ancient Ubuntu 20 LTS...
NixOS doesn't lose in features to Mac, and the store is actually larger, there are only like 10K apps for Mac
Yes, but the 4090 is the "best" GPU with only minor trade-offs (DP 2.1 support?)
Monitors don't yet have an ultimate "highest res, refresh, brightness, contrast, color volume" champion. If they made a 240Hz 4K QD-OLED it would come close, but it wouldn't be as bright as the best Mini-LEDs, have burn-in, weird pixel positioning (but at 4K you can just use monochromatic AA for text)
The ultimate monitor might have to be Nano-LED, with self-emissive quantum dots. But we won't see those until at least 2025, or maybe even later
I don't like the naming. Mobile 7600 XT is also an underclocked 7600 but at a higher TDP.
