@MischievousTomato pc means intel/amd. i already have an m1 max macbook pro on order (64gb/8tb/max/max/max natch) but i need an x64 machine that can run linux.

@sneak my lappytop is a lenovo ideapad 5 15itl05, it's pretty nice. currently has opensuse tumbleweed on it
also, nice

@MischievousTomato i would prefer a computer computer rather than a laptop, i already have plenty of displays and it isnt' going to go anywhere

@MischievousTomato perhaps a dell

@sneak search up reviews before buying

@sneak hmmm
you could build a pc, i suggest waiting for alder lake

@MischievousTomato i think i'll steal the gpu from my windows/gaming box (128gb ram, i9 extreme 10c) and resume using it as a workstation and put the 3090 in a lower end box just for running the VR headset

@sneak sounds good

@MischievousTomato i got an hp omen 64gb gaming box with 3070. i'll put the 3090 in that and that will be the dedicated VR/vidya machine, and the 128gb machine with the 3070 from that box will become a Real Work computer.

@sneak noice
mustve been expensive

@MischievousTomato only $2500, the 128gb box was quite costly when i built it.

@sneak wew

@MischievousTomato i think the 3090 alone was close to three grand? i don't remember. it was at the last big cryptocurrency runup and they were going for 2x msrp. :/

it at least runs the vive pro 2 nicely at 90fps

@sneak holy fuck
that's expensive
fuck shortages

@MischievousTomato fuckkkkkk it's too long. i am now waiting on a hacksaw to be delivered so i can remove that stupid second 3.5" hdd bracket.

@sneak you could kill someone with that
