Here's what I got and why:

CPU: Ryzen™ 7 7840HS - I could have gotten the more expensive one, but based on the Framework forums, they seem identical. If I want a better CPU later, I'll buy one that actually has a performance boost

RAM: DDR5-5600 - 32GB (2 x 16GB) - I don't need 64GB (current system is 32GB and never had any issues). Also heard that more RAM = more time to go to sleep and wake up. Reason I went for two, 16GB sticks instead of one 32GB stick is in my mind - 2 RAM sticks can send memory faster than 1 stick, ya? (Who knows, but yolo)

Storage: WD_BLACK™ SN850X NVMe™- M.2 2280 - 2TB - I'm perpetually at 1TB on my current laptop, so 2TB sounds good. I cba to deal with a secondary drive

Expansion Bay Module: Graphics Module (AMD Radeon™ RX 7700S) - Nobrainer, let's play some games!

Expansion Cards: DisplayPort (2nd Gen) - 🖕 HDMI. 3 x USB-A so I can plug in mouse/keyboard/headphones. 2 x USB-C so I can plug in a charger and future-proof for the world of USB-C dominance

I ask the most important question:

Which Linux Distribution are you gonna use?

And before you answer: There are wrong answers 🤪

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Prolly Arch with XFCE 🤪. Imo there's no "wrong" Linux distro, thanks to things like Flatpaks they're mostly all the same

[-] huntrss@feddit.de 1 points 7 months ago

Arch is the correct answer 😜

Are you saying I shouldn't have installed Hannah Montana?
