Hi! I wanted to buy a budget gaming laptop at around ~800 USD (equivalent). Currently checking out a gigabyte 3060/11400@ 850$. Is this priced right? Shoukd I look for better deals? Also, what about gigabyte laptops, are they reliable? Should I buy it? What brands should I look for, if not?

I replaced my dying gaming laptop with a steam deck about a year ago now. At home I have it set up in a dock, connected to a good monitor with keyboard and mouse.

It does everything I want it to except, and I just found this out this week when trying to make some proxy cards so my kid can play Lorcana, that Arch Linux apparently doesn't support Brother printer drivers currently. Something about not having CUPS? I don't know but I'm a total Linux layman.

Oof. Sorry bro. You ran afoul of printers and cups. Brother used to be better than that.

Dont use printers. Problems solved. 😉

Edit, its linux at this point, you can emulated it one way or another right? It's all files.
