Most Ryzen 395 machines don't have a PCI-e slot for that so you're looking at an extension from an m.2 slot or Thunderbolt (not sure how well that will work, possibly ok at 10Gb). Minisforum has a couple newly announced products, and I think the Framework desktop's motherboard can do it if you put it in a different case, that's about it. Hopefully the next generation has Gen5 PCIe and a few more lanes.
there are few PC vendors (Dell included) offering first class Linux support for some of their products. You can order a laptop with Linux installed out of the box. No need to use old and outdated hardware.
I went to check Dell website and indeed what seems like the successor of OPs laptop, Latitude 5440, is available with Ubuntu, so that is nice. Although even with Latitudes it seems bit hit and miss which models are and are not configurable with Ubuntu.
But the most confusing thing to me is that I also found Precision 3480, which looks exactly same as that Latitude 5440, is available in similar configurations and even costs roughly the same. I struggle to understand what is going on here, why is the seemingly same thing sold under two different models?
For the same reason car designs share a base. So the base for a workstation (precision) and office (latitude) is basucally the same, but upgrade options are different, e.g. Xeon and quadro options.
Dell XPS 15 9510(11th gen cpu), intel-only with Dell Thunderbolt Dock works with zero issues.
I'm connecting Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and mouse + headphones, external monitors.
Yeah, touchpad is not as good as on mac but I don't care.
It's a video from 2015, Ukraine has been in a war since then. I would say it's not relevant that much now. A lot of people reconsidered their relation to Russia.
I'm Ukrainian. I lived in Kiev, Dnipro, Odessa and Kharkiv.
