I used to run debian testing, but as the branch name implies you will experience the occasional break. If you're doing straight gaming, Arch seems like the distro to be on. I game and work (dev stuff) on my machines so I run pop_os (with xanmod kernel).

I don't think you can go wrong with either. But I love that I can swap my ports around on my framework laptop. Especially after my display port got broken last year (cable got snagged). Instead of it being damaged until I replaced the laptop, I ordered a new module for $20.

Eta: I'd love to see a partnership between them in the future.

You may need to turn on virtualization support in your BIOS for the CPU. That's often disabled by default.

I love javascript and how loosey goosey it is, I must be the odd one out. Then again my apps tend to be database driven so it's mostly just a UI and very thin API layer.

Ok so that kernel is new enough to know what to do with that hardware. I'm not an arch user so I'm of limited help here. But have you installed the mesa-firmware and Linux-firmware packages? Maybe walk through this guide if you haven't already. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU

x is used for map, filter, etc. a and b are used for sorts, comparisons and merges. y might be used if I'm doing multiple lambda expressions (but that means I'm in a bad place already). I have no idea why, but these are firm rules in my brain.

Which CPU? Which GPU? What kernel are you on? Which distro are you running?

This is bad satire or a bad dev. I can't tell which.

I think these are called "spanner" bits. The precision drivers from ifixit are pretty good if you need accuracy for working on computers, rc cars, robots, etc. But they're aluminum so not great for heavier jobs. I still use a ratcheting driver or a power tool for anything that requires some effort. Example kit with spanner bits: https://www.ifixit.com/products/mako-driver-kit-64-precision-bits

Debian is my go-to for containers and VMs. Stable af. For my laptop and desktop I run pop_os.

I have these bits in my ifixit kits. This is the first time I've seen a screw for them.

As many people are saying, a DIY frame.work laptop should be considered if you can get one on your country. Screen is good for work, battery life is decent, Linux compatible, trackpad and keyboard are good, you get to choose your ports, etc. I use one daily for work, mainly docked to my monitor but if the weather is decent I'm out in a park working.
