    And so far, the first report from someone I know that has one is that it’s overheating / redlining. -Sounds like a Linux issue.

        Typical LiGNUt that can’t defend Linux on technical merit.

          I don’t have to defend anything to you of all people. But I do use both windows and linux. Win on my gaming PC (nvidia is shit and I have one game I play with friends that does not work on linux) and linux on my laptop. And the laptop has been running better and longer with the same performance compared to when it was still on windows.

      Why? Do they happen to be playing inside a sauna? An oven, perhaps? Maybe it’s not a good idea to take any electronic device in the middle of a desert during summer.

        Maybe because Linux is known for poorer power and fan control. Imagine having issues before dust has even accumulated.

            The issue is more common in laptops and Valve’s new hardware uses a laptop mobo.

          Is that so? Funny, the entire Internet must’ve missed that. Come, teach the whole world your infallible knowledge of Linux’s problems.

            You’re making assumptions or just playing your propaganda game. You have nothing to add to the tech conversation.

              Nah, just clowning on a clown. Not a single thing you’ve said is to be taken seriously.

              Microsoft’s boot must be so incredibly tasty for you to come here and talk shit for them.
