I've been gaming on Linux for two years now. I've moved on from Nvidia and purchased two AMD GPUs in that time (5700xt and 7800xt). Now that Nvidia is is also providing better support via their drivers, my desktop sporting the GeForce 3090 will also be moving to Bluefin in October.

This started a few months ago across the board. It's the dumbest realignment of their application stack ever ... With that being said, I think it's clear that the future of Microsoft is going to be them attempting to move the entire OS experience into the cloud no matter how misguided or unwarranted that approach may be.

I watch a lot of videos to this day from Bryan Cantrill (Oxide computer) and he's got some wild stories about the forking of illumos and how difficult it was to essentially "save" Solaris. His company uses their own illumos based distro called heliOS on their oxide computer rack.

Piracy is essentially a form of archivism. The digital age literally ended scarcity in digital media and these people were like "well that won't do".

I assumed it was cash by "each couple would have a million dollars".

Hmmm . . . as a lump sum the market would then react and everything would cost 1 million dollars. Money isn't real. Food, Land, and property are.

I think money's value is directly tied to its velocity of trade vs the scarcity of the item it's being traded for.

However

IMO: What you are owed is 500,000$ worth of government services per person. The costs of things like public education, infrastructure, healthcare , social security and other social services should be covered by this.

This is what they want to take from you.

Altera has been selling the Cyclone 2 for a minute now. I have DE10 nanos and MisterFPGA systems. I'm curious to see if the cost of something like the Agilex is going to go up or down and if we're going to finally see it in retro emulation.

Not verified, steam deck players = free beta testing.

It's free real estate.

I keep recommending BazziteOS but Jorge Castro over at the universal Blue project has a really good point "Most people don't install their operating systems" and that plain fact is what stops people from moving to Linux.

Valve has momentum because they are selling you a system with the OS already on it. Sell more gaming PCs with pre installed Linux on it and the support will follow. Valve's first attempt at getting Linux based gaming hardware out there failed but that didn't stop them and the real push is coming this time.

If you do install your OS (most people here have once or twice), try Bazzite out. I'm running it on the minisforum Bd790i with a radeon 7800xt and it works great!

I just want to make sure I read this correctly. It says that if you're a Plex plass holder already that remote streaming changes won't affect your service. This means that if I have the lifetime subscription and host my own server than users whom have not payed for Plex pass can continue to access this server without issue correct?

 

I've been using ChimeraOS with a cheap AMD 5700xt I purchased from Alibaba for a few months now with great success.

I also have a 2070 super that is not currently being used and I was investigating different ways of getting this to work while still maintaining the friendly steamOS/steamdeck style user interface on my big screen that I've come to enjoy. I didn't have any luck with bazzite-nvidia or anything else yet (shout out to universal blue; awesome project)

I stumbled across this YouTube video from a channel called "Matthew Anderson" where he appears to be using Prime to use an onboard video for GameScope and an Nvidia GPU for rendering.

I'm just curious if anyone else has tried this out with any success?
