>5 minutes with a 5090?
with a 3090. 5090 is probably faster.

Amount of system ram is only useful if a model can't fit in VRAM and needs to be off loaded. With how expensive ram is now it is overkill yes.

>what motherboard cpu combo would you suggest?
Doesn't matter. Anything made in the past decade is fine. GPU is really the only thing that matters.

I'm a little out of the loop: what's the current meta for tuning the strength of negative prompts in e.g. Chroma?

Doing conditioning average with an empty feels hack-y and not ideal. Then again I suppose all negatives are. But NAG on Z-Image felt pretty good and very adjustable. Is there something like that?

Lack of customer demand for that style which is a niche customer interest.
Phones and tablets ARE cheap computers that style would have to compete with while also competing with abundant used and more powerful PCs.

Adding a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (or combination keyboard with integral trackpad) is easy as pairing. Tablets often have aftermarket cases with integral bluetooth keyboards (which could of course be paired with a phone).

Why ThinkPad?
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap
>Excellent keyboards, tactile feel and quiet + the TrackPoint
>Great durability: magnesium roll cage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop
>Easy to repair (most models), upgrade & maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model, spare parts easy & cheap to obtain
>Excellent Linux & *BSD support

I run Mint on a X390 Yoga and XFCE is fine as long as you have an auto rotate script configured. Cinnamon has support right out of the box and I assume MATE does as well, but I care more about battery life so I quickly swapped over to XFCE and haven't touched either in a while. Pressure sensitivity works without configuring anything as well, but you better like Krita or other drawing programs that are Linux native because Wine still is unable to translate pressure sensitivity when using it for Windows programs.
>>
>>107545866
They're both very similar, 380's got a few things that add up to being better as a whole than the 390 (can put a 2242 M.2 into the WWAN slot, more keyboard protection when in tablet mode, modular power jack means it's more resistant to breaking than a typical Type-C port and can also be swapped out for Type-C charging instead of a laptop plug).

Generally 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people. And 80% of the populace (especially in the management side) doesn't really understand anything they're supposedly experts in managing (which as an aside is why corpos think it'll be so easy to replace everyone with AI and Indians, because CEOs/boards are like a dozen steps removed from production). So to most managers they can't tell the difference between an 80 and 20; they can only operate on vibes. So so long as you appear confident, then they think it must be for good reasons. Conversely, if someone seems always busy and stressing like a hard-worker would, they'd assume that that person just fucked around and is an incompetent idiot - cuz "well my [do-nothing] job doesn't make me so busy so it must be a failing on their part".

This is all built ontop of the fact that the supermajority of labor in tech is pointless capital-burning nothingburgers in the first place. Dumb-money investors burning money on The Next Big Thing on one side, and FAGMAN corpos trying to gobble up as much talent as possible with do-nothing jobs to make sure they don't work for a potential competitor on the other. Its mostly imaginary and produces nothing of "real" value.

There are other factors, but this is a big one imo.

Its very unfulfilling. Despite it objectively being good for my lot in life, I'm certainly not happy like this. I've gained a lot of new skills, and I have infinite money, but I've always had something to drive towards in life so now I feel like I beat life and am worse for it. I'm nostalgic for when I was so poor I'd go days without eating. It's all a blessing that I squander
