Framework

I just got my wife the AMD 13, and eventually installed Linux. Mint got going after several false starts on a couple of different distros (couldn't enable hibernation in Ubuntu, encrypting the home directory in Mint caused the machine to reboot into emergency mode- what?), but as soon as she fired up Fallout Shelter on Steam the fans ramped up to full blast and stayed there, and the bottom of the laptop got rocket hot. Literally as soon as the title screen came up. It's definitely not that intense a game.

After much fiddling with apps and settings, we gave up and tried Windows, which seems to have no issues.

My wife doesn't really care either way, but it annoys me now that I have to get a Windows license (I would have been set if MS hadn't just killed the upgrade program), and that I couldn't get things to work the way I wanted. Given more time, maybe, but her old laptop was on its last legs, and I didn't want to keep her waiting while I tinkered.

Just ranting a bit, just disappointed.
