3. “It just works” laptop hardware
2 comments

Yeah, I have a framework laptop which is supposed to be fairly good for Linux compatability and I'm considering installing Windows. Horrible standby battery life, random lockups when I'm in the settings app, brightness keys that don't work unless you disable other features, deficiencies in non-integer scaling, etc.

Proton is actually really great for gaming, I just can't figure out how to get full screen games to render at native resolution without turning off DPI scaling across the entire system

Feeling this as someone who just installed NixOS on his "gaming" laptop and I can't for the life of me get the Intel AX200 wifi card to be recognized.

But at least, once I do, I'll be able to roll back to any known-good configuration thanks to NixOS if it ever breaks again!
