 Hi everyone, I am Matthew Miller the Fedora project leader. I am here to show you something cool I was all things open conference in Raleigh, North Carolina this week And I was hoping to actually film a little bit there, but there weren't any quiet moments So this is a little quiet moment after things have all settled down and I want to show off this the Fedora slim book Which was quite a hit at our conference booth and it's something. I'm really excited to show everybody It is a brand-new high-end laptop that comes pre-installed with Fedora workstation Slim book is a Spanish company that has kind of a same sort of ethos as Fedora We are oh here's Eva. Hi Eva. It's okay We're filming a little show-off about the slim book here. So They wanted to make it easier for people to get Linux, which that's very much a thing that Fedora would like as well So we have this collaboration where you can see this very beautiful etched Fedora slim book logo on here It's also like 3D. It's it's really nice. This is a magnesium Magnesium alloy case. It says a magnesium chassis on here But if it were you would want to be very careful not to get a drop of water on it because that would be Very exciting. Anyways, you shouldn't pour water in your laptop in any case But this should be sturdy and hold up. That's the entire point of the magnesium actually, but here it is running Fedora workstation 39 beta. We would hope to have a release out Next week, but I think it's going to be a little slower than that. But any day now be a final release Got our nice new wallpaper there. You can see here. There's actually a Fedora logo key here That does the overview and that is not a sticker or anything. That's actually, you know, the keys printed on there got the New Linux tux powered by sticker here. There's not a you know, some other proprietary operating system involved That's kind of cool to see Yeah, and a really nice big touchpad You can see here's your fetch information as the People like to show off the ASCII logo for some reason But there it is And all the specs you can find all that stuff everywhere. It's a pretty high-powered system and a really beautiful screen here One of the comments we got quite a lot at that the conference is that it does have a barrel connector for power That's because with an Nvidia card in it. It has a lot of It a lot of power draw possibly so you can park that but it also can charge through USB C So if you have a normally USB C adapter somewhere out, you know, like oops, I forgot my power brick That's fine. You can still charge it and we tried it at the conference. It charges fine like that. Just a little bit slower So that's an option Yeah, I think it's a pretty great system and I'm glad that we have this nice collaboration to do this If this this is a very big laptop if you like that like this to be perfect for you They also have a bunch of other models and they will also provide those with Fedora pre-install Again, very awesome But they don't yet have the cool etched option for the other ones, but I hope we can help I hope we all buy enough of these that they're like, yes, we better make some of them in other versions, too Wouldn't that be cool? Yeah, I think it's a really neat thing. I'm glad we're doing this and I'm very excited for this laptop One more thing. I did mention it has Nvidia on here. Actually, let's look for it here so Yeah, it has an Nvidia card in it But this is actually shipping unmodified Fedora workstation out of the box. So it is running See, there's a command they like to use on the ask fedora support forum for Showing your information here. I think that's the right thing. Yeah, you can see here that this is actually using So we've got device 2 is the Nvidia driver here, but we're using the The Intel graphics drivers here by default so out of the box It's using Intel graphics rather than the Nvidia drivers But the Nvidia card is there for you to use and the Novo driver the open source driver is Powering it to start you can actually easily also install the Nvidia proprietary drivers I haven't done that yet on the system. It's running just fine and I've got The classic extreme tuxrazer 3d here I don't know if you've seen this before this this used to be the does 3d graphics work on my system thing So we can just go ahead and see if 3d works at all and the answer is yes This seems to work fine now This is not a very demanding rendering or anything But you can see like, you know, it's gonna work for your basic things just out of the box without any extra tweaking or anything But then that higher powered Nvidia card is available if you want to do You know AI or if you need to you know, want to do a higher power gaming that card is then available Sure, we talk a little bit more about the Nvidia thing, but I think that's enough of a show off for now I'm really happy with this collaboration. The slim book folks are awesome. And this is a really cool laptop
