Late last year, the #Dell laptop (Inspiron 15 5405) I bought, broke. I had gotten it very cheap second hand (£250) and it was the best CPU I've ever had (#AMD Ryzen 5 4500U) attached to the worst chassis man has ever made; I can only describe the computer as having been designed by people who never used it, or even saw one assembled. The metal hinge bracket smashed the display due to the flimsy plastic screen housing. The second M.2 slot is physically unusable(!) because the speaker molding is too close for even the smallest M.2 board (2230?)

I've been limited to a netbook for the last few months and it's been hard work. 1GHz + 4GB RAM is hell when you're trying to do anything creative and switching to Linux in the process.

I've just ordered a new laptop, this time a Thinkpad T14s Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U / 16GB RAM. I would have been overjoyed just to stick with another 4500U as all my previous laptops were #Intel and performance was just utterly miserable, especially with games and I say that as someone who only plays games older than 2010!

The moral of this story is never buy a Dell, no matter how good the price!

Bruh, I might've wasted my time learning how to passthrough a GPU to an #LXC container on #Proxmox (as well as mount a SMB/CIFS share) and write up a guide (haven't been able to test yet, cept with the latter) - all by doing some seemingly magic #Linux fu with some user/group mappings and custom configs, if it turns out that you could actually achieve the same result just as easily graphically using a standard wizard on PVE.

It's 4am, I'll prolly try to find time later during the day, or rather evening (open house to attend at noon), and try using the wizard to 1) Add a device passthrough on an LXC container for my #AMD iGPU (until my #Intel #ArcA380 GPU arrives) and see if the root user + service user on the container could access it/use it for transcoding on #Jellyfin/#ErsatzTV, and 2) Add a SMB/CIFS storage on the Proxmox Datacenter, tho my #NAS is also just a Proxmox VM in the same cluster (not sure if this is a bad idea?) and see if I could mount that storage to the LXC container that way.

#Homelab folks who have done this, feel free to give some tips or wtv if you've done this before!

Here is the new #Development #PC Build:

- #AMD #Ryzen 7 7700X
- #Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2
- #GSkill 32GB DDR5 PC-6000
- #Samsung 990 Evo Plus 1TB
- #Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- #LianLi Lancool 2007 Case
- #MSI MAG A750BE PSU
- @kde Neon

Went w/ integrated graphics for the time being & it is more than I need. Does #3dprinting slicing & drawing just fine, #virtualization just fine, #ffmpeg & the little bit of video editing I do. Blows the old i7-6700 w/ 16GB out of the water!
