  • No offense, but this literally talked about nothing at all. The last half is just some ideas that don’t follow a cogent line from one thing to the next.

    You should try writing a script about a topic, and sticking to it . Especially if you don’t feel comfortable about speaking off-the-cuff facts about what you’re delivering. It connotes a lack of understanding and knowledge about a subject.

    Ask yourself when speaking about something: if a listener took something away from this speech, what would it be? Then write for that prompt.







  • Not this specific model, but I can give you the brief rundown of how it will work with Linux because of the dual GPU setup:

    • HDMI is almost guaranteed to be tied to the Nvidia (unless there are two ports)
    • Video out for AMD will be on a USB-C (get a USBC to HDMI or DP cable)
    • You’ll need to reboot and change the BIOS settings to switch between dGPU and iGPU
    • you likely will not have all the special ASUS buttons working OOT
    • battery will suck because ASUS

    You could try PopOS for the graphics switching, but it still requires a logout/login to switch between the cards, meanwhile the Nvidia hardware will still draw power if not disabled in the BIOS.

    Unless you’re dead set on having Nvidia hardware in a laptop format for Linux, I’d look at getting a Framework Refurb units. The 6800M is more than capable of running 4 displays without an issue if you’re just talking about desktop work. Would probably struggle on 2 displays for gaming at 1080p.
