Switched from Kubuntu to Mint + KDE last week. Very happy indeed.
Probably better to ask on !localllama@sh.itjust.works. Ollama should be able to give you a decent LLM, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) will let it reference your dataset.
The only issue is that you asked for a smart model, which usually means a larger one, plus the RAG portion consumes even more memory, which may be more than a typical laptop can handle. Smaller models have a higher tendency to hallucinate - produce incorrect answers.
Short answer - yes, you can do it. It’s just a matter of how much RAM you have available and how long you’re willing to wait for an answer.
One thing I love about usenet is that it’s great if you’re just looking for one episode, song, etc and don’t want to download a whole collection.
Why replace torrents? Why not use both? It’s a bonus if your usenet provider includes a VPN.
This is why I want Intel Arc to succeed, because maybe it’ll make AMD take Radeon more seriously. It’s been a steady decline since the ATI days (2006)
I love my Ryzen though.
I think it’s because architecture-wise, these are more in line with the 8000 series. The 7500F is a full featured Ryzen 7000, but with broken graphics. These are basically 8000 series APUs, so they have the lower PCIe version, lower cache and fewer PCIe lanes, and broken graphics.
I suspect the price will come down soon because no one should be buying these at this price. The 8400F is only $10 less than a full 8500G.
Edit: I just saw that the 8400F is a six-core, so maybe that helps justify the price.
Did they give up on trying to put X3D into laptops?
That would be nice. And maybe a bridge for sharing memory between cards, since Nvidia got rid of theirs.
I’d love a 24Gb card, less than 270mm, without the cursed power connector.
Is this the generation where they’re only making mid-range and lower cards?
I know right? It’s like he and Linus(LTT) are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Long story short, it’s not worth it.
You probably don’t want it

In addition, manufacturers will make a smaller and easier to lose format.
I pirated a certain ‘crash cars and shoot’em up’ game because, even though I own it on Steam, the gameplay (especially the launcher) absolutely sucks.
No more automatically downloading online content when I don’t even play online and no more updates breaking my mods. It’s worked out so well that I’m looking at pirating other games I already own.
Feeling called out by this. I mean those cars are tasty.
I’d definitely swap as many parts in/out as possible before buying new stuff. Besides, you might end up finding out something just became unseated or unplugged - it happens over time. Just have some thermal paste handy before you start swapping CPUs.
Does it boot / POST at all?
He probably doesn’t mention it because someone might ask him about the SPR. I’m a Democrat, but they really have a shitty record on oil.

Thanks for posting. I’m still new to this and had no idea what settings I should be using.
It’s probably a pain to set up in Windows. In Linux, it just works, there’s nothing to set up. I’m using it right now.
OP really should have mentioned their OS.
Edit: Actually, nevermind both my posts. I know DRI_PRIME works by using my APU for regular desktop activity, and routing discrete GPU output in whenever a game is being played. But I don’t know if it’s possible to make it use the dGPU all the time.
Even if it did, it would only work inside the OS, so if you had to boot into the BIOS for anything, you wouldn’t have a display. So for all intents and purposes, it wouldn’t really work.
I just did a quick bing chat search (“does DRI_PRIME work on systems without a cpu with integrated graphics?”) and it says it will work. I can’t check for you because my CPUs all have graphics.
I CAN tell you that some motherboards will support it (my ASUS does) and some don’t (my MSI).
BTW, I’m talking about Linux. If you’re using Windows, there’s a whole series of hoops you have to jump through. LTT did a video a while back.
Thank you for that explanation. My regex impaired ass thought he wanted to hurt generation[x|y|z].
I’m like “what’d we ever do to you?”
