Sounds nice, but why use an Nvidia card in a purpose-built Linux box? Obviously they must have made it work well with their default OS options, but it just feels like extra hurdles for them to work through.

Also, why not support AMD for actually appearing to give a shit about Linux open-source drivers? I was a longtime Nvidia user but switched to AMD on my latest build. Given how much better everything seems to work out of the box, they’ve earned my loyalty for the foreseeable future.

Amd can be quite hard to work with as a small vendor and even though they have a current product with them it takes alot of time, and money to get a new one. If they can

The excuse, which I believe, is that AMD is relatively small and can only do buisness with so many people Whereas nvidia is massive, and multiple smaller companies along with the main one will be in a much better place to supply GPUs.

Completely agree though, I would much prefer an all amd option.

That makes a lot of sense from a small-business perspective. I appreciate your insight.

Because nvidia isn’t as hard to get working as people pretend it is.

Maybe ODM they get devices from to rebrand does not have AMD option for this model? ツ

Does it run Stellaris?

DmMacniel@feddit.de on 03 May 2024 15:12 next collapse

Not just Stellaris. But Stellaris with the last 17 DLCs.

I love Stellaris, but I hate Paradox.

i just gave up on it, the performance is unbearably slow on bigger games

MonkderDritte@feddit.de on 04 May 2024 10:58 collapse

But Stellaris is a 2D strategy game, more CPU-bound?

€2,100 for the base model.

€4,200 for top of the line.

Why would I want to replace my desktop with this?

Because you’re a stupid consoomer. You can build a 4 liter ITX desktop that’s cheaper, faster, more reliable and easier to repair than these stupid “desktop replacements”. Plus for the price difference you can buy a “thin and lite” laptop so that you won’t have to carry this monster around when you just need to reply to emails on the go.

edit: just to clarify I’m not saying you in particular are a stupid consoomer, just the person in the given example. People tend to get angry fast on the internet.

laptops are only replacing desktops for me when they start making them modular
