I need to get a laptop:
- Which has *working* multi-monitor support. Like, not just the laptop and *one* monitor
- Supports a FOSS'y system (running Guix). Using some nonfree stuff from the nonguix repo is okayish but I'd like as little as possible
- CAN RUN BLENDER AND I ACTUALLY MEAN IT
- No really my last two laptops, if I ran Blender, the whole desktop would crash (yes really) even though this last one I bought specifically so I could run Blender again
- Supports a high amount of ram, 32gb+
- If I don't have to put any money in Microsoft's pocket great, but really... the above is more important.
- Big bonus if it can run coreboot, even bigger if it runs coreboot *by default*
Any suggestions?
I got a System76 last time, which was nice except that (I don't blame them for this one) the ATI radeon drivers *did* crash on running Blender and (I do blame them for this one) it doesn't support multiple monitors, the usb-c monitor stuff is not supported, only the one hdmi slot it had with it, and the screen is too small for it to serve as a second monitor as my desktop.
I'd like to support System76 in some ways, but I'm a little bit burned by the multi monitor thing, which really hurt my productivity.
Thoughts? Recommendations?
