When it comes to AMD-based flagship Linux notebooks, the selection pool is quite a bit smaller. Tuxedo Computers has released something that’s potentially a game-changer for Linux users that are also AMD-fans. The Sirius 16 Gen 2 from Tuxedo Computers is here – complete with switchable graphics!
45Homelab, a brand-new division of 45Drives, has just released a new server – one that’s specifically built for use in your homelab! The goal of the HL15 is to offer the self-hosting community a server/chassis that mirrors that quality you’d typically find in enterprise data centers. In this video, Jay will give you his first thoughts after having some time to check it out.
System76, a company known for making computers that are “born to run Linux” have released a new product, named “Nebula”, that allows you to build your own desktop computer that’s very similar to theirs! In this video, Jay has ordered TWO of these and has some thoughts to share with you.

Are you looking to build your very own Raspberry Pi-based Network Attached Storage (NAS) for your network or homelab? In this video, we’ll take an in-depth look at the features and functionality of the Argon EON Pi NAS case, a case designed for Raspberry Pi that transforms it into a NAS. You’ll see the the build process, and we’ll also demonstrate how to install and configure OpenMediaVault, a popular open-source NAS operating system, to maximize the capabilities of your build. This is definitely a fun project, so check it out!

System76, a company that focuses on Linux-first computers, designs keyboards now. The Launch Keyboard “launched” some time ago, and for some of you the lack of a numpad was a concern. Now, the “Heavy” variation of the Launch mechanical keyboard is available – and yes, it’s a full keyboard complete with a numpad. In this video, Jay will give you his thoughts on the latest input device from System76.

I purchased the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt dock for use in my studio, and after I’ve spent some time with it I decided to review it. This will be a short review (as it’s just a docking station) but for those of you looking for a docking station to use on a Linux notebook, then this might be a solution for you.
Imagine a future where your ultraportable notebook can morph into a gaming machine while docked at your desk. You don’t have to imagine it – it’s possible right now by utilizing an External GPU (eGPU). But unfortunately, Thunderbolt is a confusing pain. And many noteboook vendors are jerks. In the LearnLinuxTV guide to eGPU’s, this concept will be demystified, and you’ll learn everything you’ll need to know in order to use an External GPU.
HP has released a Linux notebook! No, we aren’t in an alternate dimension, the Dev One notebook from HP is here, and it’s powered by Pop!_OS!

This time around, we’ll take a look at upgrading RAM, running other distributions, virtualization, and more!
Here’s a link to the RAM and screwdriver set I used (commission earned):
