https://system76.com/laptops/galago one of the few that you can get with 4 real cores instead of just 2 with hyper threading. at least as of a few months ago when i got a few for work. the 4 core thing is important because those speculative execution blunders mean you cant use HT anymore. using the 1080p version with a 4k display. they also have a hidpi version, but the screens only 13". may or may not fit your need for screen estate. everything works and its great up until you want to watch youtube full screen at 4k. then it starts getting choppy. blender is fluid, for at least the small scenes ive done. so, video editing shouldnt be a problem. just remember to give your editing appvm lots of ram, and all the cores. if your photo editing for print, you might need to keep that pc. you could try the plasma (kde) desktop and see if it can take an icc profile. never tried it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
