I thought about buying a framework 12 for kicks but it’s Intel only and for that reason I’m oooout.

Intel’s laptop CPUs were never bad tho? Is it just a solidarity thing because of the 13th and 14th gen processors frying themselves?

AMD fucks Intel hard since the birth of Ryzen CPU’s, AMD Ryzen CPUs are more power efficient than intel which is ideal for laptops and Ryzen CPUs are a bit cheaper than with intel, also Ryzen iGPUs are more powerful than intel which is bonus
Lumisal@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They’re power hungry for about the same performance as AMD. At least the i-series

That’s the reason why I bought a 13 despite coming from multiple touch-screen laptops

It’s not a huge issue for me but I would love to upgrade to an AMD mainboard in the future

AMD marches “against Intel”? How so? Or do they mean AMD makes good processors and sells better?
favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I personally just don’t trust Intel. A lot of people just treat them as the default, but if you’ve been following the news for the last few years, there is a lot to be skeptical of quality wise.

AMD: “Our partners will fry your expensive CPU on some boards.”
INTEL: “Our software will fry your expensive CPU on all boards.”Samsy@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Looks like things changed the last decades? AMD was the only CPU I saw dying on my machine. Intel was rock solid, but that was years ago.

The US government has stake in Intel. Don’t trust them anymore.

all-time high
It’s 3.2%
I mean, sure, big headline is cool. But it’s 3.2%
addie@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
Closing in on 8% if you filter it by “English language only”. Chinese speakers overwhelmingly (almost exclusively) use Windows and make up about 30% of all Steam users, which skews the rest-of-world results. And I wouldn’t consider 8% of all prospective sales to be a joke, especially since that number only keeps on rising and by the time you’ve spent a few years writing a game it’s likely to be quite a bit more.
CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s 3.2% of Steam Linux installs. The actual number is higher.

I’m not much of a gamer, not because I don’t like to game, but because I’m old and have little time for it. That has made Fedora Workstation my preferred desktop/laptop OS for the last 6 years or so. Maybe that’s the reason why I just can’t understand why people keep putting up with Microsoft’s bullshit.
I have tried Endeavour about 4 times over the years, but in trying to ‘make it my own’ I always end up breaking it badly and come back to Fedora for a stable few months before going on a distro-hop riot all over again. Linux certainly is a lovely drug to be hooked on 😁

I feel you. Ive been going through this loop over and pver again. Ive landed on the fedora based Universal Blue for this reason. Bluefin for my desktop and bazzite for my gaming PCs. Sometimes you just want your system to be stable and get out of your way and i really appreciate thay about fedora.

That was the one Distro that appealed to my wife enough for her to allow me to switch her Windows in her work PC. Now she hates to have to go to her windows laptop to do some taxes shit in our country every month because they only allow excel.

Yes, I’ve been experimenting with different Linux distros since 2008 and I was pretty skeptical about “Atomic” distros when they first started buzzing around a few years ago.
However, this past year we’ve had to make the jump to Linux due to windows 11 shenanigans. But let me tell you. She’s got Bazzite and I’ve had to distro hop different arch distros.
But let me tell you, I am incredibly jealous of the amount of things that “just work™️” on her setup. Things that I’ve had to track down on obscure forums. Avoiding footguns and landmines.
I used to recommend Ubuntu, then it was Linux Mint, and now, I recommend any Atomic distro that fits your purpose.
Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
I tried Ubuntu first, because I had heard of it, and too many things didn’t work. At the time I was still on that other link aggregator platform and the Linux nerds there told me to try Mint and they were right. It just worked and I have happily run that ever since. It does what I do and isn’t Microsoft or the overpriced fruit company. I have no urge to distro hop at all. Fussing with my computer isn’t fun for me, I just want to use it sometimes. I agree, though, Linux is good and there’s something for everyone.

I’ve been putting off switching because of everything I have setup for work, but next week I have a new laptop arriving and I’ll be wiping the pre-installed windows and chucking probably fedora on it.
Once I have that first one done, I’ll be able to start moving all my others. I have a bunch of Hyper-V VMs that I need to migrate which has been the main cause of my hesitation.

Check fan speed volume before and after linux to see how many background AI scrapers were removed lmao.

Well I would like to see something on lunar lake too it very cool CPU Intel made by failed by advertising
13igTyme@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
I would like more from Intel as well. Not because of a CPU structure or anything, but just because competition is good for the consumer.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m releasing a new chipset structure. It’s not Intel. It’s not AMD. It’s BUTTS BUTTS BOOTYS.
So now all the best games will run on BUTTS BUTTS BOOTYS, and journalists will have to call it that.
phonics@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Imagine if they just pulled out of the market like crucial ram.
Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Yeah? Seems like the only thing currently released handheld wise is the MSI Claw AI+ 7 and 8. At $800-$900 it was a very hard sell.
The CPU itself might be strong for efficiency but it’s not like the claw crushed the competition. I feel like the number to meet or beat for a handheld is under $500.
Intel seems deemed too big to fail so I don’t doubt we’ll see a resurgence from them if they can manage to scrap most of the MBAs and focus on engineers.
