@yee:

Need your expert advice.

I can get a ProArt PX13 halo laptop or Onexplayer 3 Arc G3 extreme handheld for roughly the same price. ~1500ish. Both come with 32 GB ram.

Which would you suggest if interested in llm usage with not much fan noise or heat? So would be using max tdp of like 25watt to 35 watts.

I know 8060s is much faster than arc b390 when you give it 80+ watts but all the lower power benchmarks to reduce fan noise and heat in a portable machine show they're much closer together.

I won't be using large models, so 128GB not necessary. The most I would be using is models that fit in 24 GB. I could probably get the PX13 with 64GB for like 400 more too but eh, not sure it's worth it.

With all due respect to Linus, the opinion of a developer is of no consequence.  I understand his frustration, but we're talking about end users here.  Nvidia is still out there, Linux users will still want to use Nvidia cards (which have better value for money when it comes to power/upscaling/frame gen/etc.), and Linux on an Nvidia card is not horrible.  I know that's the party line; I've been running Linux for 30+ years, and I see the lies that get told.  Nvidia gaming on Linux has been very good for a long time, and 99% of the distros out there make it braindead simple to install and keep the driver up to date.  The two greatest weaknesses have been : 1) Wayland (that's basically fixed now, I ran Wayland for a year on Nvidia and it's quite good, especially on KDE), and 2) DX12 performance.  The latter is the main obstacle to great Linux gaming support, and I have no doubt it's being worked on.  It's not impossible to run DX12 with good framerates on Nvidia in Linux, but it certainly has some bad performance regressions.

I'm not saying you have to like Nvidia, or use Nvidia hardware, but these "Nvidia support on Linux SUCKS!" propaganda that gets fed to newbies is harmful.  It might cause them to go out and buy hardware that they really don't need to, or worse yet, just not bother with Linux.  It's disingenuous.
