XPS 13

You said a lot, and I didn't read ALL of it, but what I read I agree with 100%. I've used linux since 96 and recently I've moved everything to Wayland because plasma was removing support for X11 and also Wayland just works better for arm SBC framebuffer devices in many cases. I use my work computer

I have briefly tried a Lunar Lake laptop (Dell XPS 13) and it did not feel as snappy for my workflow. PTL laptops are too expensive right now for what they offer.

I personally question how much software optimisation can be done to be honest. One of the biggest resource hogs on my machine right now is hilariously Spotify, at a whopping 1.8G of RAM split over 9 processes. Then I've got Discord with 8 processes at 1.7GB. That's 3.5G, or nearly half the RAM gone

Definitely a win11 problem, switching my aging Dell XPS 13 9310 over to Fedora Linux made it snappy again and breathed some life back into it. The problem is likely their recent push to virtualization based security and copilot, both of which are pretty resource hungry and can slow down the operatin

I am Tony Stark. btw, its dual boot Dell XPS 13 9310. I use Linux mostly for school work. Gaming is lowky bad.

I don't trust any of them. I'll have to buy a new laptop in due time because I can't upgrade the RAM. I currently have a dell xps 13 from 2018. It was basically the top of the line one that i got at a black friday deal for 30% off. Had to replace the battery once, which is fine, but now with windows

You're probably right that it being the work provided laptop makes the comparison complicated. But my bare minimum expectation is to not find my laptop dead in my backpack after putting it in sleep. I briefly tried a Lunar Lake powered Dell XPS 13 and compared the app launch times and excel performa

I have an XPS 13, which is almost the same age, same form factor and a few hundred euros cheaper. It has 16GB of RAM instead of 64, and a consumer-grade Intel CPU. Now, the Speedometer 3.0 results are ~30% higher, real battery life is the same as IBP, sound and mic are both decent, the webcam doesn’

ThinkPad (GOAT tier) Framework Laptop (most “Linux nerd” choice) Dell XPS 13/15 (clean + powerful) ASUS Zenbook (AMD versions) System76 (Linux-first laptops) My personal recommendation for you: ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 (AMD, 32GB RAM) • Runs Arch flawlessly • Handles Kubernetes easily • Great keyboard for

You're not wrong. The days of other *nix with graphical ui as a share is essentially nothing today. Soarlis is gone. Irix is gone. Next is gone... you name it, it's gone. It's essentially FreeBSD at this point, and it's not much. There's macos, but that is not applicable. I wouldn't argue that point
