With the current state of the PC market I’m thinking of buying Apple, I know the M4 is powerful but how is MacOS? I heard Tahoe is shite but haven’t looked too deep into it.
>>107834054I want a high end CPU laptop. My choices are AMD 395+, AMD 9955HX, or macbook pro.>395+Available on like one single laptop and I don't want a 14'' HP. AMD apparently refuses to ship it to OEMs and/or it's not considered a useful market or something>9955HXGuzzles 200W for minimal improvement in performance so I'd rather strix halo, also almost exclusively comes in massive xboxhueg gaming laptops, I don't need a gaming gpu>M4/M5 maxM4 max was already neck and neck with strix halo 395+ in benchmarks, if M5 max is the usual 15-20% bump in performance it'll basically be the best option. Meanwhile AMD still fails to supply 395+ to most OEMs and apparently has zero plans to bump it this gen, the 400-series seems to be more of a refresh of the mid tiers since the most powerful AI400 chip I've seen announced is a 12 core (and will probably remain vapourware for another 6-9 months judging by how long even strix halo laptops took to appear).I just want to be able to compile large projects fast without having to ssh into a server on the other side of the world and deal with remote rsyncing and all that garbage. Money is no object but getting a powerful machine that runs linux is apparently cock and ball torture.>snapdragon x2From what I've seen from the snapdragon elite, it's not competing with the top performers, and also linux support was atrocious last I checked and it was basically designed as a windows ARM machine. I haven't seen anyone take it seriously or make any sort of high-powered laptops with it.Maybe in a few more years we might have open high-end ARM laptops. But the top end of x86 is not terrible in comparison, like I said 395+ from all benchmarks and tests I've seen is basically neck and neck with the current best M4 max in performance and is not dramatically worse in power consumption either, it's a beautiful chip really; it's just not being fucking mass-produced and not being iterated upon.
>>107835303AI max 395 is not even close to m4 PRO chip. M5 MAX will smoke it.
>>107835345>one single benchmark>multicore benchmark on a workstation machineNow compare multicore scores across a variety of benchmarks (not just one version of one vendor). I've spent an autistic amount of time trying to decide this and my conclusion is that it's really just close enough that it's impossible to conclude which one will be faster without testing my specific workload.Anyway as for M5 max I agree that it will likely be the actual winner since again Apple is doing a generational performance bump while AMD is not, so it will become a no-brainer. But that just supports my point, my options are either a shittier linux machine, or a powerful machine with an OS that I hate using, hence me unironically considering virtualizing linux on top of macOS.

If you want a tablet and also want to draw, should you get an iPad or a Samsung tablet?
What if you never had one and you can't test them either. What's the safest choice here?
>>107828973get a 2nd hand surface
>>107835353Defeats the point of buying anything new.
>>107828973samsung s-pen works even without battery.ipad pencil doesnt work when battery is empty
>>107828973iPad, no hesitation. It has real apps made specifically for tablets, unlike Android which just resizes phone apps.
IPS or OLED?
>>107835397>Use high end IPS displays while we wait for Micro LED to get cheaper and smaller.Or you could enjoy an OLED while waiting for that and not have to suffer with the numerous drawbacks of IPS.
>>107832040if you don't use your monitor like you would a flashlight then burn is an extremely minor issue. you're a complete retard if you keep your monitor at a bright level. get proper lighting in your space. brightness should never exceed 50%. also HDR is pure cancer
>>107836076It boggles the mind that most monitors still don't have an ambient light sensor to adjust brightness and temperature, and that Windows has no native way to control monitor brightness unless you're on a laptop (KDE does this just fine).
>>107828477My LG A/C is still going strong after 10 years.The only maintenance I do is clean filters in every 2-3 months.
>OLED doesnt flickerYes thats true, if your raise the black floor to 61 RGB. Also enjoy your film grain and your per pixel uniformity issues destroying fine details. Its a shame boi
This simple idea of having 2 USB-C ports CANNOT be done because it stops the zoomer from buying wireless ear buds(battery inside will always go to shit and unusable in ~3 years)and you would be stuck using extremely affordable, high quality audio headphones or in ear buds(that are a bit too green for the planet in 2026) also the 3.5mm headphone jack looks like a penis that goes inside a hole and basically why aren't you a wireless, constantly charging gay trans in 2026 right now.am i finally getting it /g?
>>107834775Depends what you're doing.I just leave them at my desk.
>>107835071If I'm outside I'm at work, at the store, at an appointment, or enjoying the outdoors.In all of those cases I would want earbuds attached to my keyring. I'm going to guess most people are the same way.The only time I brought my wireless over the ear headphones outside my house was when I lost one of my earbuds, and had to wait a few days for their replacements.
>>107833846Yeah, that's how battery tech works.

Be honest, is COSMIC ready for gaming?
>>107835549He actually had a broken package in the install it was just really bad timing, none of that was his fault. It was fixed immediately afterwards. If he did the same thing on a not-broken install this would have never happened. It was not smart in the first place to try and install Steam like he did but with a non-broken package it would install normally and then possibly not work correctly. It might need dependencies it doesn't list, or you might need to configure something else manually before it works, or certain features won't work in the program. It wouldn't tear down the desktop environment and if you found out it was fucked you could safely remove it the same way you added it.Where he went wrong is forcing it through when it very clearly explained what will happen and how bad it will be instead of stopping and reporting it.
>>107831927I sure hope so, I intend to get a new computer in 2027 and the OS I am going for is pop_os

>>107836119it games everything. i have over 500 games in my steam library, out of that 500 maybe 10 or 15 require me to use a specific version of proton (which less than 10 seconds to select) and out of that 500 maybe 4 don't work at all due to kernel level anti-cheats (which i just use my PS5 for). it runs every single emulator I have thrown at it with zero issues.
>mint is shit with the slowest file manager known to man>zorinOS is guhnome based and slow as hell>debian is shit and none of the desktops are good>you got KDE, I guess, but theres no really a clean minimal distro besides kubuntu>kubuntu is garbage with snap infestation which makes it unusable.So what the fuck do I use in linux? Theres literally no optionsWhy cant someone make a simple XFCE based distro with bazaar with some theme linux xubuntu but based on debian
>>107824978if you're not openbox ricing using anything other than kde or ukui is trolling and borderline tranny territory.
>>107824868I used Linux for over 10 years and I never found a solution to this problem. I now run Windows 11.

Why does Fedora use so much fucking RAM? I look at other Plasma distros with envy over the fact they use under a gigabyte of memory at idle while Fedora KDE is using like 3 fucking gigs after a cold boot NOT INCLUDING CACHE.
>>107833805If you think Plasma's RAM consumption is bad, don't try Endeavor, it's **atrocious**.
DAMN, OP, that must really suck *braaaaaap*
>>107833829RAM is there to be used, retard. The more you have the more is used.do you also have empty cupboards because putting things inside them would be bloat?
>>107833829>I have 32GB of RAMThat's the problem then. Any properly made OS will reserve as much memory as possible to make the system as responsive as possible. If you want your distro to use less RAM then reduce your RAM down to 8GB.
>>107836239>reserveLike I said in the OP, that's excluding the cache.
Why does it seem like they're trying to kill Windows on purpose? Is this the year of Linux?
>Microslop Pajeetware 11
>>107834516>Why does it seem like they're trying to kill Windows on purpose?Because it's been going down-hill for well over a decade at this point, so yeah it's going to look like that. I don't think they're trying to "kill" it as much as they are terminally incompetent and also actively malicious in that they want you to buy their subscription shit rather than run normal programs on your PC.
It's no longer Microslop, it's Microprison with gamers forced to use it because of anti cheat and corporates forced to use it because of DRM.
>>107834737Have gamers tried not playing multiplayer titles?I'm playing Raidou just fine on Arch.
>>107834516Because they are. Whatever else they're doing is more profitable than windows.
