Yes, IMO. If you haven't bought the hardware yet, there's no reason to subject yourself to the headache of lacking Linux support, instead support companies that value open source.AMD and Intel GPU's simply work out of the box with all features.
And it's not like on a laptop you need the highest of high end graphics acceleration anyway.
Every car you could buy in the past 20 (probably 30) years had a computer system, because you can't meet emissions regulations without fuel injection.In Europe, the Dacia Sandero base model is a car that literally only comes with what's needed to drive or mandated by law.The previous generation was still available with wind-up windows, no power steering and no radio.
I don't know about any offerings in the US market.
For that, they'd have to develop an entirely new engine, which they then couldn't sell in Europe, America, Australia or most of Asia due to emissions regulations. So maybe they're doing it, but it will be a one-off prestige project at the end of the internal combustion engine age, and all of them will be put in museums or private collections.
This isn’t the first time Metallica has shown an interest in the environment. Among other initiatives, the band played in Antarctica last year, using generators powered by a sustainable jet fuel blend.
Ah yes, that's what comes to mind when I think about environmental protection - flying a few hundred tons of equipment to Antarctica for a 2h show powered by jet fuel.
Deal. That's worth like 10 bucks.
