Would you be willing to come to a WLUG meeting and show off your new
toy to the rest of us? I do like the idea of that laptop, but I'd
like to get my hands on it to see how the feel of it really is.

Did you fix the flickering with a newer kernel version? Its been
years since I ran Gentoo (got tired of all the recompiles, but this
was 10+ years ago for sure....) and I thought it was pretty damn
bleeding edge in terms of kernels.
I'm currently running kernel 6.0.8 on my main Debian Buster home
NFS/KVM/etc server and it works great, but it is headless.
