DASGeek on Odysee

They say big things can come in small packages. The UM700 is a mini PC with a Ryzen 7 3750H CPU and a price tag of around $500. This Radeon Vega 10 powered machine comes preinstalled with Manjaro Linux and is fully upgrade friendly and repairable. No tools required to pop the top and look inside. Additionally this mini PC is so small you can mount it via an INCLUDED Vesa mount on the back of your monitor. In this video we put the UM700 through it's paces and see whether this small package can deliver big performance.

Features things like 4k high definition with triple display support. Configurable with 8 or 16 GB of memory. Dual band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and storage expansion.

In this video we take a look at the System76 Launch keyboard. This keyboard is made from a solid block of aluminum and made in Denver USA. In the box is also a magnetic foot for a 15-degree incline. The keyboard is 100% open source and compatible with Linux, Windows, and macOS.

The Launch keyboard starts at $285 which begs the question whether all the features make this costly accessory worth the hefty investment? Some of the main features include increasing productivity with the ability to remap keys, swap keycaps, and configure multiple layers to your liking. Launch also uses only three keycap sizes to vastly expand your configuration options.

The small form factor mini tenkeyless (TKL) layout is meant to keep your mouse closer than ever before. Many gamers prefer the small form factor keyboards for tighter control over their gameplay and faster response time getting to keys. You also get the choice of two types of switches Royals and Jades to suite your typing feedback style.

System76 also included a Keyboard Configurator application that lets you customize the layers, RGB lights and all the settings save to the keyboard itself.

The Launch also includes a USB Hub built in so you can connect your USB C devices and USB A devices with ease.

In this video we check out openSUSE Tumbleweed and all of the amazing features in Gnome 42. openSUSE Tumbleweed is proof a distro can be rolling and stable all at the same time. I love rolling distros. Hand me an Arch or even a semi-rolling Fedora and I'm a happy man. If like me you want the latest and greatest Mesa drivers, the latest kernel enablement (whether hardware or software) and you also want to be run the latest versions of software check out openSUSE Tumbleweed. For the past 90 days I've done my videos, streaming live on Destination Linux, recording Hardware Addicts, coding, writing, and all of my main work on openSUSE Tumbleweed to prove just how stable it can be in production.

Technology shouldn't be held back by old software for the sake of stability and Tumbleweed proves you can indeed have both.

- BTRFS is a perfect pairing with a rolling distro and the ability to rollback anytime minimizes risks with frequent updates.

- Updates always go through flawlessly. OpenSUSE is stable and works every time without fail.

- Gaming is great. It's not the fastest I've ever seen but it's far from the slowest. I don't think OpenSUSE does anything special here but since you get latest kernel you benefit from hardware compatibility and software enhancements.

- With Flatpak and the OpenSUSE repository you have all the software you'll want. The only place you'll find more software is the AUR in Arch.
