My wife and I meal prep M-F as well. We solved the weekend problem by ordering children portions or splitting a single adult order. The portion sizes served adults are far too large. When going to a sit down restaurant, we usually leave with leftovers.

It actually doesn’t do 1080p well. It’s a 3:2 ratio.

I have a development Mac Mini, but I want something portable with Linux. Thanks for the suggestion!

This is the kinda thing that concerns me. I don’t want to get to a point where I’m unable to use the machine after spending the time to migrate to it.

@apis figured it out. I somehow blocked the community without realizing I had done so. Thank you for the support, it’s very much appreciated.

Thanks for the recommendation. The Framework due seem to be worth the wait. I’m honestly considering it.

I have a remote dev environment with 128GB RAM. This is for occasions when I don’t have access to that environment. And yes, I run a lot of POCs and tests, and have absolutely ran out of RAM even at 64GB.

Thank you for the Lenovo recommendation. I’ll take a look!

My work requires remote work that may not have Internet connectivity, so that wouldn’t work 100% of the time. Thank you for the interesting recommendation, however!

You nailed it. I have no idea how the heck that might’ve happened. I didn’t do anything that purposely should have caused that.

I still don’t see it. I checked three machines at this point. Thank you for checking.

I’m keeping it as I still need more machines for testing. Sorry!

That StarFighter looks crazy. I too bad it’s 5 months out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Here’s a link to the post. Oddly enough, it doesn’t show up in my profile either. It’s like it just doesn’t exist any longer.

I tend to stick to Debian derivatives for the most part, but I do a lot of work across multiple flavors depending on what I’m working on at any given time. Sometimes I’m in RHEL, sometimes SLED, sometimes Ubuntu, etc.

I develop software and do a lot of PoC with VMs and containers.

I’ll take a look. Thank you for the recommendation.

I like the idea of a System76 machine, but have never used one IRL. Nor do I know of anyone who has one. As a result, I’m hesitant on making the leap without some level of expertise/experience to back up the decision.

Yeah, the RAM is a hard requirement. I’d like more if I could. My desktop is AMD so I’m not against using them at all if it makes sense to do so. I’ve also enjoyed Lenovo in the past but couldn’t find a well enough equipped unit for my liking.

I’m in DevSecOps, and do a lot of heavy development and testing, as well as PoCs. Ideally, I’d have 128GB of RAM but laptops aren’t quite there yet. The HD is a Samsung SSD.

I usually have the GPU set to integrated graphics unless I’m doing some heavy load in which case I’ll switch over to the nvidia GPU. I also switch between power modes depending on my use case at the time.

There’s not a lot I can do with the CPU other than the optimizations I’ve done thus far. It’s actually one of the main reasons I’m looking to upgrade so I can have better performance per watt and take advantage of various cores depending on workload.

That’s an interesting point. I could buy my wife a new Air and update her M1 to run Linux. Thanks for the suggestion!
