Contrarians. Both are good, use either.

MPV on it's own is unusable since last time I checked it forces on screen controls onto you. At least not without going full tranny with a bunch of configs and shit. Using it with wrappers is pretty nice however. Haruna is probably the best media player I've used so far, other than maybe good old MPC.

Haven't used VLC properly in like 6 years but i remember switching because it was shit at handing some file types.

I like Ai genuinely. I play around with local models. Merge, quantize, and hopefully soon try and train. I like seeing how different ones respond, how dumb stupid small models know very little on niche topics and how even big corporate ones suck at answering the same questions.
But I 100% why people hate AI. It's a tool and tools are as good as the person using them. And the people using AI right now are fucking lazy, retarded, and evil.

This is going to sound like bad advice given your previous experience but; 8k hz is irrelevant and you shouldn't care. 1k is good enough. That being said, if you wanted 8k, some options that come to mind are

keychron HE shit
wooting
tiger lite gaming
geon venom pcb + frog tlk

That being said I don't think keychron and to a lesser extent wooting are worth the price.

Thing is I legitimately want to buy the cheapest or around there keyboard I can get at first.
First of all I've realized that membrane keyboards offer 0 consistently in key presses and other factors related to that so muscle memory is off.
Secondly even if I get it down to ~5ms per spammed key, that's massive compared to the 40-90ms inputs I get now.

I need a prebuilt keyboard asap, what should I get? Ideally TKL

Considering this.

>>107618684
Bang for buck, cheapest you can get is going to be 1k polling. 1k is pretty standard at this point. If you are okay with that, keychron Q series, specifically standard, not max or pro, is cheap as shit right now. Most of them are like $50 and 2 years ago they would have been ~$220. As an entry level option you are not going to beat that price for an alu board, so that would be an obvious recommendation from me, even though I think keychron is boring and just ok in terms of quality.

Concerning OSs on T14 Gen 1's OpenBSD was by far the best for working out of the box. Everything just werked post-install and install was painless. FreeBSD was a bit more of a pain to get up and running (mostly setting up Xorg and some driver issues) but it was pretty stable after I navigated all of that.

Getting everything working on Linux was a huge pain in the ass. Gentoo and Arch both required hours upon hours of fucking around with config files and pulling in random packages to get things working. Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora also required a lot of messing around to get everything working correctly. Linux on the thinkpad wasn't as painless as a lot of people like to pretend it is. If you haven't used an installer as good as OpenBSD's (and it sysupgrade tool) I suppose you wouldn't know it was possible to have a painless install/upgrade.

Windows 11 came with mine and I promptly ditched it but it worked fine for the week or so I had it on there before I could get around to replacing the OS.

The T14 Gen 1s have the ability to install a second SSD. I think that was removed from later models. Mine also has the ability to connect directly to the cell network. But I haven't used it because I didn't want to pay for a sim card just for the device. If you care about having that be mindful of what you buy because a lot of them didn't come with the cell modem. You'll also have to deal with the huge pain of getting it working on non-Windows OSs. I know it works on Linux at least.

I didn't bother with the thumbprint reader. Huge pain in the ass for something that does basically nothing useful. Instead I run FDE and unlock it with a password+key stored on a usb thumb drive.

On Linux mine can run any game I care about but I mostly play stuff like 2D fighting games and VNs so my needs aren't as resource intensive as most peoples with gaming. I obviously don't game on it at all anymore. At least not popular stuff.

>>107616747
One last thing I should have mentioned. I ran Guix on mine for about 3 months to play around with using it to manage the entire OS. Support was good but I spent more time messing with my local config than I did doing actual work. Getting support was a pain in the ass because the FSF people refuse to help you with these machines due to the binary blobs required for the drivers.

I don't have that issue with the OpenBSD people. A lot of them are using this exact machine and support is very good. You just pull what you need for GPU/wifi/etc with fw_update (runs automatically at install time and during updates). There were updates for the firmware just a few weeks back when OpenBSD's latest release came out. They worked fine without any issues or regressions. There was a bit of an issue with the wifi update but it never reached the stable tree before getting fixed.

I'm running -current OpenBSD on mine and have been for over a year now. I run sysupgrade -s about once a week or so and have had zero issues. Things are tested thoroughly before they hit the -current repos.

The handful of Linux-only stuff I need runs fine through vmm (virtual machine). But I've ditched most of that stuff lately. Most everything I needed was in the ports tree but even a lot of that I've stopped using. The most I use openbsd the more I prefer what comes with its base system. The only non-base system thing I'm still using is emacs. I've been using mg more and more lately but I still need emacs for viewing a lot of documents. I run the gtk2 version of the port and they provide a binary of it. So I no longer have to build from source like I do on most Linux distros these days.

I've had the laptop for 2 years now and its been a solid machine. I'll probably be using it a decade from now.

>>107616839
>The only non-base system thing I'm still using is emacs.
Slight correction: I also use Firefox and Ungoogled Chromium from ports. Both of which are fully pledged and unveiled. No more having to set-up jails and chroots to run browsers safely for day-to-day use. Everything works fine in Firefox as far as "modern web" stuff is concerned. I only have Chrome around for one website that isn't on the public web. I have a ton of about:config/user.js modifications for firefox of course along with a bunch of add-ons to tame the cancer. Even 4k videos on youtube function fine in the browser. But I usually use mpv+yt-dlp to watch videos these days. I wrote a shell script to search and browse youtube instead of having to use the website or one of the third party web based portals to it.

There is even support for some games on OpenBSD. Pretty active community of people gaming on it these days. Support for AAA stuff isn't great of course. But the actual GPU drivers are just as good as what you get with any Linux distro.

If you need a POSIX environment for work along with the usual Linux/UNIX tools OpenBSD is really good and much less of a pain to keep going than using Linux directly. As long as you can live without stuff like wine and bluetooth support. Since both were removed from OpenBSD's kernel due to security concerns.

If you do need wine+bluetooth+Linux emulation for binaries you can't build from source than FreeBSD is a great option. Fully supports running your AAA games and everything else. Just know that the developers of FreeBSD aren't running it as their day-to-day OS these days. Unlike OpenBSD where the developers actually use the OS for their day-to-day work.

If you really want Linux then I would suggest Gentoo or Arch. But only because Arch seems to have a lot of people using this particular machine. Gentoo is a better option if you're stuck with Linux.

The workstation models with dedicated GPUs seem like a poor price:performance compared to some of the chintzy gamer laptops out there. The problem is, I fucking hate the way most of those look and refuse to carry around something that says "PREDATOR" on it.
My main use case will be clandestine UE5 dabbling while at work, albeit in smaller projects avoiding ray tracing, nanite etc. Is there some value I'm missing, or is a gamer laptop a better buy for my situation and I just turn off all of the RGB shit?
