    every day it gets more tempting to just abandon laptops and get something like a steam deck instead for work, lazy gaming, and whatever other functionalities

    I've never really been a fan of laptops. I've always found they let me down when I needed them the most. Either lacking the IO I need at the time or the batteries crapping out in no time at all. I have played around with creating a "luggable" based on a Mini-ITX ... maybe one day :unsure:

    My previous laptop was a Clevo and I got 10 years out of that one, so if they are still anywhere near that reliable they may be a good choice.
    I had to replace the keyboard twice, which was $30. Also had to replace a fan once, which was about $20. Membrane keyboards have never been the most reliable TBH, but it's about all you can fit in a reasonably sized laptop. But the repairs were easy so no big issue.

    But I do agree. Even the best laptops are flawed. You're always compromising in some way. As customizable as Framework laptops are, they still don't offer all the options I would personally want in an ideal world and doing that would just make them prohibitively expensive. Which is why I could never use a laptop as my only PC.
    That being said, they're among the better options.

    Just my 2 cents though. As much as I dislike HP and Dell laptops specifically, I've also supported many hundreds over the past decade that've worked totally fine.

    the acer part is interesting because that's the only brand i've had 100% good experiences with across all different types of products

    @Mama Looigi oops, you're right! I was gonna say how I'd seen a ton of videos on the NorthridgeFix youtube channel about how he receives so many of them to repair, but I was mistaken, it was ASUS laptops, not Acer. Acer has a crazy low number of repair videos from there actually.

    it's so fascinating to see how well the sonic unleashed pc port runs on low end hardware, i wonder if that was due to the person who made the port, or if it was that optimized in the first place on console

    that being said though i did get a limited time crossover edition of the controller so i have no clue if there's a difference between how this one feels and the 'normal' ones

    i was especially surprised by the ultimate controller because i have a pro 2 (the SNES shaped one) and that one feels pretty cheap in terms of materials and average in build quality

    build quality and material feel isnt even necessarily something i care about, it was just so good that it immediately drew all of my attention right to it within seconds of picking it up

    Stellar controller, just an awful naming scheme lol. The Ultimate 2 just launched too, which is notably a different line to the Ultimate 2C, and Ultimate 2.4G, and others.

    Back in the 70s you could order a house kit from Sears and it would be delivered by railway.

    reminder to prioritize your own mental health, this kinda stuff really shreds your mental state so much more than you realize when actively engaging

    Or... Just not interact with the political section at all to avoid having to deal with mental health problems connecting towards discussing to others at a highly debated section of the forums.

    I've tried ubuntu and arch. I need an OS that can actually suit my needs for HDR and color grading video, and being able to play a wide variety of games without it requiring thoughts, prayers, and a custom launcher on a per game basis to find out why frogger 3 won't launch.

    I would much prefer to be mad at my PC because it has some extra annoying junk it didn't need or something is just being janky, over being mad at my PC because I haven't been able to get some random basic thing working in the first place for 5 days straight because it either has no documentation or it does and still just doesn't work anyways

    tried swapping to arch linux (endeavourOS) and it was great until i hit the wall where none of the changes i wanted to make had a GUI option

    CLI is scary
