I mean, it is faster

Lol, what? Do people really care about the 'speed' of their video player in 2025?

No, I'm not the one who is desperately trying to drag people into an internet debate.

It was just an example.

How come they don't just use VLC?

Meh. Congresspeople always pretend to be upset about something to posture for their base.

Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You think you can identify AI because you only take into consideration the AI that you're able to identify.

Every time you get tricked into thinking AI is an actual person, you don't realize it so you don't factor it in.

I swear, a lot of the AI hate these days really outs how ignorant people are about the world they live and how illogically they go about obtaining or verifying information.

To be fair, you've been getting fed 'human slop' for years without having an issue. See: Marvel movies

Why complain when it's a machine producing it instead?

I'm going in the opposite direction.

I'm recognizing how much we've been herded like sheep just to make rich people richer, and I'm fighting back in the ways that I can.

Nvidia user here. The criticism of Nvidia support on Linux is always blown way out of proportion by AMD fanboys.

The only issue I ever have is needing to prepend prime-run to each application I want to launch with the dedicated GPU.

I've had significantly worse problems with AMD drivers, so much so that it really opened my eyes to how stable things were on the green team.

I'm not saying you should get one over the other, but you shouldn't let fanboys dictate your decision. They will try to do so without admitting they're fanboys, so we have admit it for them.

I highly recommend getting a gaming laptop. You can buy a 4070 lenovo laptop at Walmart for $1k (at least in the US.)

Otherwise, check out https://old.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/ until you find something that fits your needs and budget. (sorry for linking to the other site)

You should use bluetooth controllers instead of ones that take a dongle simply because the dongle is unnecessary. Playstation controllers work well, but they're expensive and I haven't been able to find a 3rd party variant that works properly.

I also recommend getting a wireless keyboard + mouse combo.
