Hey all. I’ve recently swapped to Linux and I’ve been really enjoying it so far. I’m still pretty new to basically every aspect of it, though, so I’m not super sure what things I should be wary of with regard to hardware, in particular with Mint.
I was looking at buying a newer laptop to keep up with my main game, but it occurred to me that newer hardware may come with either a host of issues or be less supported than older hardware.
Any advice for laptops in this regard?
My go-to is FFXIV, but I run it fairly heavily modded as do most of the group I play with, so I don’t have a super firm set of minimum specs since it fluctuates pretty heavily.
Besides that, every now and then, a modern game comes out that I’d like to play on Steam, like Silent Hill F, which is just completely beyond my laptop at this point.
