Cant recommend anything with Nvidia.

[-] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Noted, but do you have any laptop model in mind that reasonably cheap and has a good AMD dGPU because it's pretty rare and I can't think of anything on top of my head

What is "reasonably cheap"?

My advice would be to buy something cheap. Then if you have extra cash, get yourself a desktop gaming PC. A laptop just has too many sacrifices. Low power, poor thermals, and high cost.

Have you considered a Steam Deck?

[-] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Steamdeck is expensive like 2X the price, because they're imported and not officially available in my country

I see. Can you get something with a relatively recent AMD APU? Like a 7840U or something? These are very similar to Steam Deck APU.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
