@linux_mclinuxface "I see you haven't contributed free labor to this project in a while, but I'm hoping you will so that I can benefit. Please let me know."Yeah I'd be pissed.

I am congested AF but my Google home speaker still recognizes my voice. Meanwhile my wife has a >50% failure rate despite retraining the voice model several times. 🤔

I keep testing negative for covid, so I guess this is technically my first actual "cold" since the start of the pandemic. And...shit, I don't remember colds being this bad.

@h_thoreson yeah got some strong opinions here. The two must haves are extremely solid worry free thermal performance, and two NVMe slots.A lot of gaming laptop CPUs are setup to spend their life bouncing off TjMax and constantly thermally throttling. But that kills performance, sometimes substantially. You want to find a laptop you can undervolt slightly and never thermally throttle. I bought a Lenovo Legion in 2019 because they took thermals seriously and that appears to have continued. 1/2

@h_thoreson My old gaming laptop had one NVMe and one SATA, I put Linux on the latter but it was really slow building e.g. Android from source. I gave up trying to use it; might work ok for smaller projects. If you can afford it, don't ride the struggle bus with SATA or with trying to dual boot a single drive. Again, latest Legion models deliver here. I got a pro 7i, core i9, RTX 4900, it slaps. B&H might still have them on sale for a substantial discount.Happy to answer any questions. 2/2
