I’m in the market for a new laptop. I’m currently considering the Framework 16 but I’m wondering if there’s anything else I should look at. The System 76 Adder WS seems like a better value, but I’m hesitant to buy Nvidia.

I don’t need anything super portable, just looking for a decently powerful laptop for some gaming and other basic tasks. I use openSUSE TW but even with the Nvidia repo I’ve had issues with Nvidia graphics.

    i recommend nvidia geforce now for game streaming, if your ok with some latency. then you dont need to get a gpu at all

    Then your laptop requirements become super easy. I’m running a framework 13 and am quite happy with it.

    The only down side is no coreboot, but I think repairable hardware is more important at the moment.

      You would be much better off using an egpu with the laptop. The latency from streaming is terrible.
