Yup, no doubts there.

Anyway, OP, if I were you I’d buy that laptop (not for gaming tho, or at least not if you’re looking for something more than “good enough”)

I’m not really sure, but wasn’t userbenchmark biased in favor of nvidia gpu?

In any case, I agree that an rx5500 is on the weaker side, so don’t expect much, but it shouldn’t be a lot worse than an rtx3050 (i’m not an expert tho)

Ads try to sell you something, there is no “call to action”. Here, there is nothing to sell, so by definition it’s not an ad.

They are just asking you if you’d like to help them in providing you the product you’re already using.

Not an ad. No one is trying to sell you anything.

(If you get the notification) you’re already using their product.

I don’t remember where, but i read that this method only works because linux distributors “abuse” the ISO format to allow this. If I remember right, it’s not possible to use this ISOs on regular disks

Of course the command you provided is right and it’s what I use, it’s just a fun fact

I think it refers to applications that do not respect the standard directories like /usr/bin, /usr/share/man, /etc

Unfortunately i can’t help you, but just to be sure, have you downloaded the -nvidia version of the ISO? In case, check it out

Also try not to daily run with acpi=off, especially on a laptop, as it won’t be very power efficient
