Linux Hardware

Hello everyone. I've been looking for a new laptop recently, and I was wondering what your thoughts were. This is what I want in a new lapop: - Decently powerful processor for virtualization, compilation, and BitTorrent - Easily replaceable/upgradable battery - Upgradable RAM - Upgradable storage (preferably 1 TiB+ NVMe SSD) - Webcam - Microphone - Hassle-free Wi-fi (I'm tired of fighting with proprietary blobs that need manual installation and want something plug-and-play) - Hassle-free Bluetooth - Ethernet port - USB ports - Hardy frame (nice but not required)

Hi everyone! While lemmy.ml has served as a reliable home for our community, we thought it would be worthwhile to help distribute the load across the lemmyverse more evenly, and decided to move to a smaller themed instance that happens to fit our community perfectly, the excellent Programming.dev!

Latest Starlabs StarBook or Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 gen9 AMD.

The internal microphone doesn't work on my Dell Inspiron 14 7440 running ubuntu, though it is recognized on windows and I remember it working before I reinstalled the ubuntu system. When I open sound settings, the app doesn't recognize the internal microphone:

I'm planning to buy an Inspiron or XPS model and install Linux on it, and I'd like to run neural networks accelerated by its NPU. Are there available drivers for the NPU in these models that supports debian or ubuntu-based systems?

which one wold pair up better, less bottleneck and all that, a bottleneck calculator said the 560 works better, can i trust it? Is there any other gpus i should consider? (Small budget, Brazil is complicated)

I've been saving up for a laptop for a long time and decided I want something that will be powerful and reliable for also a long time if I'm spending this much. so the 2 best options seem to be the Slimbook Hero or the Legion 5.

I'm thinking about getting a desktop and am looking for some advice. The machine will primarily be for photography and digital art, music production/recording and, ideally, for experimenting with local AI. I would like to use only open source firmware and drivers if possible, as well as have a discrete GPU. If I can keep cost down by buying second-hand then that is fine! I currently use Debian on my laptop and would lean towards using that on the new computer, although KXStudio looks like it could be good for the music side of things. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated :)

My current Dell XPS 13 has been my trusty old companion for the past 4.5 years and I'm very happy with it. Inevitably, the battery isn't what it used to be anymore - it won't reach full charge anymore and discharges in 2-3 hours of normal use (webrowsing, coding etc).

Hello,

Hi linuxhardware gang

Hi everybody, I recently got a Roccat Burst Pro Air which has a battery in it since its wireless.

Okay, most of the relevant information is in the title - I got a nice deal on an old Lenovo X280, threw Debian on there with KDE. I have an HP Elite book for my work, and thus a work provided HP G2 DisplayLink dock with USBC connection.

Hi

I know this question has been asked many and many times, but a) this kind of things can change with time (bugs may get fixed or appear, new generations can fix hw problems and get new ones, etc.) and b) I didn’t find it on Lemmy yet (but maybe this is just me being bad searching stuff in the fediverse), so here it is once again.

I am strongly considering picking up a recent gen X1 Carbon. I really the like the idea of the device, having cellular data, working fingerprint reader and maybe even using it with an eGPU for some gaming. How possible is all of this on Linux? UPDATE: I managed to find a 9th Gen Carbon with LTE, I can't wait it for it to get here. Arch Wiki indicates everything should work.

Hello everyone, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T480s laptop running Fedora 39 Kinoite. I would like to use it in a multi-display setup, so I am looking for a docking station. The laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 port. I have attached the details of my device at the end of the post. People on Reddit are writing that "all Thunderbolt docking stations should work fine" and that's obviously not the case... I have this Dell Thunderbolt Dock (WD19TB) at home from work and the displays work when I plug it into the laptop but, for example, my mouse (connected via USB-A) doesn't work. When I connect it to the DELL laptop provided by the company, there are no problems at all.

Any other NUC 12 Enthusiast users out there. Just wondering if any of you guys are still successfully using it on the latest distro's with ARC support, or whether rebooting still has issues for more than anyone but myself (just picked one of these up the other day, and I suspect there are recent regressions maybe)

To start off with I had a Ryzen 3400G and an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max that had become unstable and took several tries to boot. I decided to swap in an ASUS Prime B550M-A wifi.

i need some help buying a monochrome laser printer with scanning that supports linux, plug and play is a nice thing to have.
