People are ready to hate on this, but it might end up with similar performance, while being cheaper, using less power, and having more VRAM.

3 chips of VRAM instead of 4, just at higher density

cut silicon in the memory bus

The 5060 does not seem to be bandwidth starved anyways, not sure about the Ti. Will wait to see benchmarks and prices.

Maybe Ragnarok Clicker lol, depends how low attention you wanna go but this basically doesn’t need any attention

Edit: hmmm this game used to be on Steam…


patches to the Linux kernel and KDE

I think currently it might only work for AMD, but I think Nvidia could take advantage of it without too much work


it’s a mini pc, standing sideways, with a USB to ethernet adapter and USB HDD


My sister is obsessed with Pharoah so she might like this


I’ll be curious to see benchmarks of PREEMPT_NONE vs rseq once PostgreSQL patches this

Which is expected to be faster in the end?



Another drawback is that support for hardware peripherals is behind that of Windows, macOS, and even ChromeOS.

MacOS and ChromeOS? I doubt this, especially ChromeOS is using the Linux kernel, it should literally have all the same drivers

Maybe they mean for the device that it ships with?



Yeah but it’s harder when something else is incompatible, like WiFi on a laptop, or Ethernet on a desktop. Not so easy to update the kernel without internet. I wonder if it would be possible for the installer to include multiple versions of the kernel to choose from.



That looks like a nice form factor. I think the mainstream handhelds have gotten too big, like the Switch


Seems like Steamdeck 2 will probably be ARM. Maybe Steamdeck 10 will be RISC-V lol


What Flatpaks have you had dependency issues with? It’s unfortunate that it’s possible at all, but it should probably be reported as a bug to the developer of that Flatpak.

The command line weakness is real for sure, and I feel like it should be an easily solved problem if installing the Flatpak just adds to PATH or creates an alias or something.


This is why I think Kubuntu is a better suggestion than Ubuntu, and also Discover is better than the Ubuntu Software Center anyways and it makes it easy to avoid Snaps and does a good job managing Flatpaks.


I think it might give you problems if you try to install it on brand new hardware though, because Mint uses an older kernel by default

The Chinese New Year screwed up the stats for last month which makes this month look like a bigger jump than it really is

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/

I made a rough trendline from Win10 EoL

You can also look at the bottom of the website where it focuses specifically on English users. It’s 8.27% to 11.28%, still a big jump but nowhere near doubling.
