I’m using a laptop with strix halo as my main machine (ryzen 395 in hp zbook ultra g1a). Came from macbook pros and compile large c++ repos frequently. This thing is a beast!
Running debian 13.
The only thing it’s noticably worse than a macbook is its battery life. Running local llms, play high end games. All on 55-70W TDP.
Was a part time linux user since 2005 but Apple’s “Liquid Ass” finally made me switch full time to Linux :D
