    Yoo Starbook, I’m unironically considering one of those Starlabs laptops, but sadly the standard starbook is sold out.

    I’m a little sad they don’t offer openSUSE, Fedora, or Arch options, but there’s an option to buy them without any OS. Is there a reason they recommend a particular range of OSes as suitable for the starbook?

    And how are they for gaming? Think like Stardew, Paradox games, and so on.

      Using qubes so can’t say much for gaming, but I imagine it’d be about as well for any similarly spec’d ultrabook. I think they test those listed distros for compatibility, but I ran qubes on it since before they listed it as an option.

      Actually in the middle of rma’ing the board for bad power circuitry (after 3 years), well see how it goes before I reccomend it. That being said the new lemur pro from system76 isn’t made out of plastic shit, but instead magnesium alloy, so that actually looks promising as an alternative.

      I’ll let ya know how I make out with the repair.
