 yes, to be clear, PopOS is very nice for steam gaming on linux 
 I used pop for my daily driver for about a year before switching back to Debian. 

And that's good to know about their laptops. 
 yeah, i would be vaguely interested in getting a system76 laptop that has amd chips in it because they are actually making the effort to support that

the way that people disregard AMD's awesome tech out there really disturbs me, because it really is awesome, simple, and cheap, and the old days of hot RED is not a thing, nor is the bad power consumption

Zen architecture current generation and the previous have been a massive advance in the tech because they produce power efficient results without the complexity, and the CPUs themselves, this is why i have been a Ryzen user for about 8 years, have more cache memory, and as a programmer, i appreciate the benefit with that... small, highly expensive computations like cryptography benefit from this kind of bigger fast memory cache
