A similar question was raised some day’s ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I’m searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game’s and also native Linux games. As OS, I like to use Manjaro Gnome.
Should I better buy all of AMD (if yes, which CPI, GPU) or Intel/Nvidia? Or Intel CPU and AMD GPU? Which combination is the right one with best performance for a casual gamer? I prefer FPS games, if that’s important…
Kind of surprising they’re using nvidia over amd
I asked about this to a system76 employee and what he told me was that nvidia with CUDA is still much better for several professional use cases and because of that, they still prefer using nvidia
It does seem they lean pretty hard into the Intel/Nvidia combo, hopefully that will change in the future. I do appreciate the option of prepackaged Nvidia drivers for Pop though. Makes running my old laptop so easy!
PopOS has an Nvidia-specific version.
