AMD has been open source since late 2017?

I use Alpine Linux for all my dockers, small and fast.

2.5" disks are SMR, you don’t want that in a raid.

Unless you have use case for that much horsepower I would suggest, like others here, buy a mini PC as a start and if you need more down the line buy a second one. They are cheap, fairly quiet and don’t use much power.

It’s called power supply idle control, worth a test.

There is an issue with ryzen and certain PSUs that when it goes to idle it pulls so little power that the psu thinks it’s off and kills the power, it can appear as a hang. there should be an option in the bios to change it to “typical power” or named something similar.

No you didnt, I was just trying to say that you’re not safe either way.

LTS is no guarantee that there wont be bugs, 6.1 recently had a bug with NFS where it corrupted files.

Framework isn’t available where I am yet unfortunately.

Yes and it sucks, I would love one

I agree but many use it as if it’s actual power consumption

Afaik TDP isn’t power consumption, it’s more input to the manufacturers of the coolers and it’s not calculated the same between AMD and Intel.

Aren’t any AMD based ones? Seems to be very few laptops with AMD gfx overall.

Because they are just rebranding oem devices

I think you’re missing the point of my comment.

This study doesn’t show that red meat causes diabetes, an epi study can’t show causation, there could be 1000s of reasons why the people in the data developed diabetes which is why these types of studies are mostly meaningless (except to find new areas to be studied further with for example clinical trials)and shouldn’t be used to form guidelines for diet.

Another epidemiology study on diet, imo a waste of time and money. We should be doing proper clinical trials so we can see actual causation, but no they are too difficult or expensive so we waste it on these types of studies over and over again.

ok, but it’s still once a year and unless it’s a castle with 43 rooms it can’t be that much of a hassle 😀

Did you actually save any money, buying new sensors for £8-10 each so you don’t have to replace a battery once a year for £1.

You also have beelink that makes these small PCs

You could try corectrl, don’t know if it works with that GPU but it supports desktop AMD GPUs
