  1. Awesome! I've tried POP, it's quite nice. It has both a Intel/AMD and NVIDIA option, to make sure you get the right one before installing.
  2. Yeah, I feel that. When I see all those ridiculous gaming phones, I always think that I would prefer a new, beefed up Nvidia Shield Tablet with a high refresh rate and dockability. The Portable was always my favorite, though, just because of that clamshell design, and that's why I'd rather have a new shield portable than just a jailbroken switch.
  3. If Final Cut Pro is a must, I'd look into making sure your machine has compatible parts for a Hackintosh (not any part will do), but if you're okay with changing your workflow, then Ubuntu 20.04/Windows is a good mix. If you're not rocking ethernet, I'd recommend getting a wifi dongle that's purpose made with both linux and windows alike, as wifi dongles on linux are a PAIN (unless you're rocking Manjaro)
  4. Sure! You like MacOS, right? Keep what you like and bootcamp your machine, provided that you have the storage to do it comfortably. I run Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows side by side, so I can play games with Easy Anti Cheat (I hate you, Tim Sweeney) while still being able to reboot into my linux and enjoy everything else there. When it comes to operating systems, if you're okay with rebooting everything now and again, you can have your cake and eat it too!
  5. If you play league, you know they update the game at least once or twice a month, and that you couldn't connect to their servers because of a version mismatch. Also, it's worthy of note, that Vanguard (which is what I'm assuming their kernel level anti-cheat is for league as it's valorants) utilizes the Windows kernel, so i'm not sure if this spells death for MacOS League players as well. If your diehard on league, which I get it, it's a powerful drug, Windows is your clear choice, through and through.
  6. Yeah, only earlier switches can be broken into at the moment. And afaik, the switch uses a SoC that's half a decade old. With talks of AMD jumping back into mobile graphics, maybe we'll see another display of prowess from Nvidia in the form of a new portable? EDIT: With a new SoC, of course.
  7. Title. I've always wanted a sequel to the shield portable, because it always looked like the perfect little android beast. Between seeing it run Half Life 2 and its impressive emulation prowess, I always thought it was a shame that there was never a sequel, though it appeared that the idea had crossed their mind and were even developing it at one point. Am I alone in this? I always thought it was quite nice, though never owning one of my own.
