These days I was wondering what laptop GPU would be the easiest to maintain / simplest to configure from a laptop POV?
Considering NixOS (I see Nix as gentoo++) or arch.
Onboard Intel/amd? “Discrete” Intel/amd/nvidia?
Would prefer open source but am not Uber passionate (results > means).
Fictional use case is mid tier game development - ray tracing is nice but stability and minimal effort to keep stable while pushing decent amounts shader/polygons is more important vs peak perf/px. No bitbro / artificial guess.
Experiences & recommendos?
I second this, my all AMD Lenovo ThinkPad is the stablest machine I’ve ever had, even when I’m cooking it by playing some more demanding Steam titles.
I went with a laptop for the flexibility, sometimes I game, sometimes I just want to take my system with me.
In your case, go for a workstation instead.
Which thinkpad did you get? I’m looking at sunsetting my x1 extreme gen 2.
