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.

Actually I kinda need a good GPU without destroying my bank account, I already have an IdeaPad1 R3 7th gen running Arch currently
why not a desktop? you get more performance for the price and you don't need to worry as much about nvidia power management, which seems like a pain from what I've seen
Don't have space for it and I'm concern about power consumption
Just turn the computer off when you’re not using it.
If it’s because of bills then you’re not gonna see a significant increase in power consumption from just a computer.
If it’s because of your grid or home circuits, you have bigger problems. Washing machines and refrigerators are a big draw when the motors kick on and everything’s just fine. Hell, incandescent lightbulbs draw 100w.
Source: when I’m worried about power draw I use a kill a watt for a month on the thing I’m worried about.
