HP Laptop EliteBook 8760w

My only problem with it is going to be the i5

Ah, okay. Damn, Iā€™m thinking about getting my hands on something that allows for passthrough on the thunderbolt port.

Eh, all my laptops are u-code i5ā€™s. I donā€™t have a problem with them, but that said, I donā€™t really do a ton of intensive stuff on those. I offload that to my Ryzen.

Rule of thumb: Donā€™t let your laptop sit on carpet while you install gentoo. Get that shit in your icebox.
