Why would they put a nvidia graphics card in that thing? Of all the silly things to do...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For a second I thought you were joking, but yep, there it is.
How are Nvidia GPUs with Wayland these days?
A lot better but still not as good as AMD
I guess they expect people to use the Intel iGPU with 'the latest of GNOME Desktop' 🙃
I mean, on any laptop with hybrid graphics the DE should use the iGPU to render everything unless the app is clearly defined to use the dedicated GPU, so I don't get your point
True, that's a very good point, I would still hope that interop between the two isn't an issue under a Wayland session.
I've been using a Intel + NVIDIA laptop on Wayland since day 1 and I can confidently say that, except for power management (cries in Pascal) it's pretty much a perfect experience, as you get the best of both hardware. The system runs on the Intel iGPU and benefits from Mesa while gaming, streaming and compute benefit from the power the NVIDIA card brings.
Glad to hear!
DaVinci Resolve?
tell me I did not just look this thing up and see a barrel jack power port 🤢
my 2017 laptop charges by USB-C, this hardware looks gorgeous in every other way but the only excuse for a barrel jack is if you need to move more than 100 watts, and even that last holdout for the barrel jack is dated
It can charge by USB-C apparently, but the barrel jack is still there 😔
barrel jacks are less likely to break, I've had laptops with barrel jack charging ports that are still working for 15 years but I've had two malfunctioning USB-C ports in phones that were less than 4 years old.
Is that really a fair comparison? Due to both usage and battery capacity you would probably do way more connector insertions on a phone than on a laptop in the same span of time
I use both USB c charging and barrel jack charging for my labtop
Anyway this things useless to me as it has nvidia graphics
I wrote with them.
They reported they already tried Coreboot but hat lots of issues, thats why they are back with proprietary Firmware.
Sad...
