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.

Yup, pretty much.

Press ESC

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.

Get resource usage under utilization and nvidia-smi output and post here.

Also, are you sure it’s input lag, or is the entire machine pausing and hiccuping?

New motherboard with new boot options, and possibly an incompatible partition scheme.

Pull up the boot menu during POST and force it to boot the partition. That usually works depending on the manufacturer.

Otherwise, get a LiveUSB and make sure your drive is actually showing up post-boot.

Right at the top:

FOKS is like Keybase, but fully open-source and federated, with SSO and YubiKey support.

Sure seems like they just released one last month: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/bios-and-drivers-downloads-rJ3PaCexh

Well this is one of the worst takes I’ve seen around here 🤣

1. Not sure where you’re getting this from. The value comes from buying a known Linux compatible platform at a similar price point to any other manufacturer. The Desktop is the first AMD Ryzen Max+ platform on the market in that form factor, and those chips are well above the performance of any other Ryzen chip on the market. Fair price as well.

2. This comment is disingenuous at best, and just wrong overall. They were slow on their firmware updates during their initial pilot shipments while the platform was still in validation, so they were making delayed changes to firmware in light of that until they cleared that hurdle. Been regular updates since. Also, firmware rarely decides the overall security of a hardware platforms unless known vulnerable portions are found and then intentionally NOT fixed, which is not what happened with all of that.

3. Absolutely wrong. The price point is the same as any other machine in the same segment, which is not the general consumer crap Lenovo kicks out, but the slightly elevated professional segment. If you’re not looking for that in a new device, guess what, they have refurbs at have the price. Both conditionals right there completely invalidate whatever point you’re trying to make, especially when you’re buying for the stability on Linux as OP mentioned, and it’s a crapshoot at best with any other manufacturer in their cheaper segments of machines.

I don’t know if you’re shilling for some specific point here, but you need to get informed.

Describe more about your use-case. Tuxedo is just alright, but a bit overpriced IMO.

The he absolute best performance and value laptop or desktop on the market is going to be a Framework, for instance, but maybe that’s not exactly what you want.
