If it’s running an AMD APU, you need to make sure that your power profile is set to “Performance” and not something like “Power Saver”. I know KDE has a lot of issues with power profile management since they nixed the quick settings awhile ago, but I think in your settings there is a place to choose your preferred settings. Limiting the power on those APUs significantly hampers it’s ability to play games.

If you’re going to be gaming, you may want to switch to a distro that does semi or rolling releases. Latest Kubuntu is still on kernel 6.8, and there are MASSIVE performance improvements between that and 6.15 which something like Fedora is running by default. That, and many updated versions of the Mesa drivers.

In the players. VLC has a setting in preferences, and mpv has a flag to disable on run.

Try disabling hardware acceleration.

Lookup the T38

No. Only if you guess the right one. That’s the problem that OP is asking about.

Instead of just throwing random preferences out there, I’ll help clarify the field of comments:

1. Thinkpads USED to be a safe choice, but Lenovo has been tainting that model line for a few years. Search and find specific models, and don’t just buy because it has the Thinkpad brand.
2. Framework is 100% ready to go. They have a Refurb store where everything is cheap, but if you find one cheaper, get it.
3. Dell had a ton of Linux ready laptops under the XPS brand not long ago. Search and find out which to make sure, but they shipped with Linux installed.
4. I hate to say it, but HP Probooks were solid and shipped with Linux also. Terrible company, but they make decent enterprise products. They’ll sell for cheap on eBay.

…no

Thanks for mentioning the actual model number.

This…is not the best answer. You need to be REALLY SPECIFIC about model numbers now that Lenovo has pollutes that brand space.

For people who want it to be, I’m sure it’s a resounding YES. For actual medical Science and reasonings, no…there’s nothing that’s going to prolong your life in that way just by consuming it lolz.

Yup, pretty much.

Oh yeah, history has a habit of siding with tyrannical fuckwits like ALL THE TIME, you dumb fucking literal dickhead. Your head actually looks like a penis.

Uninstall the existing versions of whatever you have installed, then install the new version again.

They’ve removed down notes, date posted in placeholders, and the ability to properly alter monetization the way you want to…seems like a competitive product could pop in at any time. Sadly, the only competition would have to come from another equally shitty company with a massive infrastructure footprint.

Terminal.

All jokes aside, its personal preference. If you’re working in a dense file tree, you probably need the info that details view gives you. Icon view really only matter for media.

Do you have some custom repos enabled? Seems like you’re trying to update a package that has a dependency not available with whatever is in the default repos. Disable all custom repos and then see if it updates first.

You want a semi or rolling release distro. Fedora is semi-rolling, would be the most user-friendly I think. Anything Arch-based but more user-friendly, like CachyOS, would be good as well. Tim leweed is rarely recommended unless you need like bleeding edge, which it doesn’t sound like you really want.

Friend…$700-1000 is NOT a premium. Especially not for what you’re actually getting. You need to reevaluate your life 🤣
