Mine just got shipped today! Looking forward to tinkering with it!
Btw does anyone know of any good replacement for powerbi on Linux?
I would like to move fully to Linux on this laptop, but a project I've been tinkering on is heavily dependent on powerbi, which is windows only AFAIK.
Ideally something free, open source and fully local (no web applications) would be great.
- smithcoin 4y agoPowerBI is the killer app for windows is seems. The only two things we have a windows box in our office for are powerBI and writing SD cards for windowsCE. While it is not exactly PowerBI the only thing I have found that is similar and is on Linux is metabase[0]. It's open source and free to run locally (or self-hosted) without user limits. It can connect to multiple dbs, and allows for visual query editing as well as SQL. You can build dashboards, save SQL snippets, etc. You can even send automated emails based on query results. I hope it works for you. My company and I are very happy users.

You can also visualize quite a bit of data in grafana[2] as well.

- djbebs 4y agoThanks! Superset is looking like exactly what I want. I'll see if I can get it working when the laptop arrives
