I guess we’ll see how that goes come September timeframe.

A PC where I can’t install what I want? WTF is the point of that bullshit.

Thanks but I’ll stick to my steam deck for my portable Linux computing needs where I can do what the hell I want.

Really reinforces my belief that the stockmarket is driven by idiots.

Reminds me of this old Kal cartoon:

Granted AI will probably doom us all but not how the substance post says it will.

I think stoat would be viable of they had voice chat working with their self hosting option but yeah, right now it’s a no for me because of that.

Self hosting posted a good example off a recent vibe coding security nightmare.

I guess the question is did you set up VA-API and do you have an processor with integrated graphics?

When I set my instance up, I had to do just a bit of ID’ing since my processor/MB has a iGPU at device 0 that was for debugging purposes and wasn’t going to be up to snuff for encoding.

They wont abandon the brand but it will be much more focused monetization and exploration of existing gamers. Pushing for more subscriptions, more live servcies, pushing for their streaming services, and using gamers to train their AI.

Given their push for copilot gaming, wouldn’t surprise me if they use the last two to make some kind of claim they’re use AI to reduce latency by having AI “predict” your moves making streaming better.

I think that gamers will fight tooth and nail to keep the yoke on.

I mean I can see it now on the game cases, in fine print: “requires constant Internet access and a current PlayStation network subscription”.

And then we’ll all be saying we thought Nintendo’s game-key cards were bad.

See BS is not scared of the FCC, they’re bootlicking. But I’m sure Colbert is trying to be diplomatic.

Same, went and bought a pair of drives to replace some older ones when I read the first stories about ram last year. Just hope the other drives can hold out.

wipe and install any flavor Linux.

There I fixed the entire article for this guy.

If your talking about gamers, let’s be real here. They’ll lap up whatever scraps and bullshit Nvidia will give them and then thank Nvidia for gouging them.

I mean look at the recent stream surveys.

I guess you’re living up to your user name.

But of course when corporations infringe on copyright it’s fine right it’s not theft at all.

You’ll think that right up until you’re the guy that started sliding into on coming traffic while screaming internally, “I wasn’t going that fast!”.

Yup. That really cements further that I will not buy Nvidia again.

As this asshole and his asshole company tries to force adoption via shoving it down Windows 11 users without consent.

Reminder that now is a great time to switch to Linux desktop.

GPU drivers, at least on AMD’s side, have been solid and Nvidia has been generally decent and getting a lot better with the new process they’re doing for the newer cards. But my scenario might be more unique to the MB implementation of the wifi chipset since when I posted on other boards, others with different MB’s/cards using the same driver aren’t seeing the same issues.

And of course the other downside is that the wifi 7 driver for that chip is not available for windows 10 and is windows 11 only and I do not want to use that as my daily even if the driver is solid and honestly I’m not a huge perpetual online gamer so it’s not impacting my ability to use and enjoy my Bazzite instance.

Oh for fucks sake, so much neckbeard energy here dismissing this guys personal experience.

When you’re a new user and don’t know what the hell the native app store application is, which doesn’t have all the programs a person would want to use and install there, and when a new user goes to find their old windows apps that have Linux install instructions, what’s the first thing that they have there? Guess. It’s always find your flavor of Linux and the first steps shown are always terminal commands with sudo apt get or sudo dnf.

That’s everyone first time with Linux until they learn more about it so get off your high horse and condescending gatekeeping attitude.

So I’ve gone back to linux for my daily but holy hell the driver support is very much still not there, especially for gaming.

The wifi driver is flakey and drops connection requiring a disable/re-enable every so often, power management doesn’t work quite right with sleep mode locking up the system every so often, keyboard no use of most of the advanced features, same for the mouse and never mind about the other various nits that I end up finding that honestly don’t have much info because there’s no official driver support from the companies, just mostly wonderful people who are making things work but don’t have that industrial knowledge and limited time.

Still, absolutely no regrets in moving back to Linux because Windows has been just horrible since 7 and 11, which I still have to use at work, is just absolute crap.
