    Yeah no I understand so here are a few suggestions, their prices, advantages, and disadvantages:

    Framework 16: This is the most powerful laptop they offer and has the option for an all AMD build (great for Linux). Specifically you can get this with a 7700S and a 350, that should be enough for any workflow or even decent gaming (keep in mind its below recommended so you may need to reduce some settings or play at a lower resolution). The way pricing is going these days and depending on how you configure it you can spend anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000.

    Disadvantages: Its not a Linux machine so you wont receive any additional support, its very upgradable means its build quality can at times feel inconsistent, and lastly keep in mind this system doesnt get upgrades very often and new parts are inconsistent. The AMD GPU they offer is still the original one (they did a Nvidia option but Nvidia is a headache) and they have a new CPU option but its still not as consistent as their 13 model.

    Distro: I personally recommend pairing this with Fedora KDE edition

    Gazelle (System76): This laptop well exceeds the minimum specs for silent hill f, the best part is it comes preinstalled with pop_os which is maintained by system76 themselves so you are practically guaranteed a premium experience. It comes with a 5050 which normally would be a pain to set up but they set it up for you. Great software support all around and cosmic is an amazing desktop. It costs around 2k can be more if you want more ram/storage but the default is fine. Overall the build quality seems good and its not particularly large or thick. It also runs on their own open firmware (coreboot based) which gives it some incredible boot speeds.

    Disadvantages: Still uses a barrel jack for charging, GPU is not as powerful as the Framework 16, has Nvidia quarks, and is not as repairable or customizable as framework.

    TUXEDO Stellaris 16 AMD: Great option if you live in Europe but im not very familiar with it

    Ok yeah that does give me a good idea but what general price range are you thinking about? Also does it have to be a laptop? I can find a desktop that can play basically anything for a good price.

    Let me clearify why I’m reccomending you get a desktop, silent hill f is extremely demanding. I mean the reccomend GPU is a 2080Ti or a 6800XT. Especially right now that’s gonna be expensive but I can guarantee if you want that on a laptop prepare to pay several grand, on a desktop however I can find options at or below a grand (keep in mind used because PC prices are insane rn).
