What do I need to sacrifice, to get a laptop with a beefy CPU and an AMD GPU?

Monies

Just out of curiosity, why AMD?

@Demolishun
Ah, I've always been a little skeptical of that, since the hardware isn't also open source. Felt like they were librewashing their offering.

@Demolishun
Yeah, we're both on the same page there. It's the motive I questioned, I still remember how hard Hector Ruiz burned the customer base during his tenure and gave intel the market, and most of his reports are still in leadership positions.

Either way, open software is good software.

It's gonna be big, heavy, and expensive.

@Demolishun While I'd agree with you two years ago, seeing how fast things evolve, I think this is going to change!

While not everything is open source yet, the Pine64 products are coming very close. We just need dedicated people (of which I'm one but I lack the time and resources right now). Not everyone thinks the way you think, this is how we got here in the first place and continue to evolve.

@Demolishun I think the LibreM5 and PinePhone (and PineTime) come very close to completely hackable devices!

Is it just me who only wants FOSS drivers because proprietary Linux drivers fucking suck?

@Lor-inc
Sort of. I just want drivers that work consistently. The implementation of that, I don't really care.

@SortOfTested Sadly most manufacturers consider three nerds in the attic Linux support.

@Lor-inc
Theirs nerds get an attic?! Spoiled assholes ;)

@SortOfTested In exchange for being treated like the most insignificant and expandable people in the dept.
