Yep, main problem with those portable units is that their efficiency is pretty bad. They does work and cool the room, but amount of energy that needs to be spent, plus the fact that you need to somehow restrict airflow to not be sucked right back in - makes them a horrendous option. Better than nothing I guess.
Yes, but your win XP doesn’t have ms-access integration with policy control and constant antivirus background checks, is it? Clearly inferior OS then. /s
The only reason I had to move in VM everything, that was perfectly working on my local machine with arch — security’s-team decision that all workers should have that ms plug in their ass. And surprise-surprise, guess where it doesn’t work oob? On top of that, they proposed solution if you don’t want to (can’t) connect it to your windows/macos machine — use azure remote desktop. Which also doesn’t work on linux despite using regular RDP — it specifically uses complicated token auth, that is not supported in any rdp linux software. Neat, eh? Honestly, if there were any better paying job (or any decent job at all) I would jump at first call.
“works on my machine”
It doesn’t, it updates package if you agreed to update. It looks like you misunderstand what I said. I meant that any update can bring issues, it’s not “I installed and it works forever”
and then its like clockwork
My brother in Christ, what are you talking about? Do you not install any software whatsoever? Do you not have a need to update it? Or maybe all your hardware works out of the box 100% of time? My setup full amd, pretty fresh (am5 + rdna3), but it still a gamble each time I’m launching new game on steam. Will it work out of the box? Will proton-cachyos just bork itself (happened week ago, still not sure what caused it, maybe mangohud)? Will my whole desktop just crash cause of bug in driver that specific to one extension in vulkan? Or maybe I simply won’t be able to see my desktop at all cause amd with LG tv is a bad combination? It’s a shitshow.
Run linux on it with windows VM, if your memory hungry software supported. Unironically pretty good duo.
I had to bump my virtual machine (with win11) for work up to 32gb, simply cause single firefox browser + slack was running out of 24gb after full day of work. Which consists out of opening google office suit like gmail\gsheet and web apps with some internal tools. What a cool world we living in.
Any software can be fixed, it just that amount of effort needed for that would be insane in case of windows, so at this point it’s easier to use ostrich algorithm
Hell mac os works well at 8.
I’m certified apple hater and “all linux” user, but in all fairness - MacOS does amazing job with ram managing. Caching, swap control and i\o priority scheduling made way better than on any linux distro.
found it a little difficult to configure.
It’s okay, dev apparently think it’s hard too, otherwise I have no clue why da fuck he would change configuration scheme 3 focking times
But it’s a scrolling wm…
But It’s a scrolling wm!
Niri is amazing:
But: Still in development, some features broken or not exists. Blur for example was added in hurry, so visual bugs with it is common. HDR is not supported. Another thing that actually forced me to switch - bit depth control is not supported (patch for that was proposed half a year ago and only recently was merged, so it should be in new release), cause of that my monitor always tries to set 16bit color space, which is obviosly imposible thru hdmi and with my TV, so after booting up niri I always have black screen (or not, sometimes it reverts to defaults which is 8 bit and for HDR\to use my monitor you ideally need 10, so it’s a mess). And there some additional small things, like no way to trigger something on desktop\window switch, small things like that, which usually do exist in tailing managers.
But beyond that, it’s awesome and I hope dev continue. It milions time better than hyprland just because they haven’t changed damn config scheme 3 time in a focking row.
There were a case back in the days of PS3, where sony removed ability to run linux from new versions of console. They were sued and lost, but still decided to pay the fine, rather than returning functionality.
The main issue as I see it, is that they sell consoles as cheap as possible (previously they even sold them at a loss) and then return such investment by selling you games and subscription. By opening ability to install linux, not only they will loss profit from upper mentioned part on existing devices, but there a chance people will start buying PS5 to use as a regular desktop or general server or whatever, due to being simply cheapest prebuild option available for such specs. Same point was rised by Valve actually, they too was afraid that if they start selling gabebox at loss, people will buy them for anything, but playing games.
All that being said, fuck sony, microsoft and any other big company, that locks it’s hardware. PS4 still have usable x86 hardware, but soon will be a landfill, cause you can’t really do anything with, other than play ps4 games.
I second this. It’s already unprofitable to run those “ai companies”, your subscription effectively does nothing (I do agree that it’s better if you won’t pay them tho). The issue here is that CEOs of those companies don’t care about being profitable in long term.
That being said, I’m actually interested if dev used paid model or if he ran local opensource setup, like opencoder and qwen.
Who da hell downvoted you, lmao
Thx for editing.
It’s cool and all when we are talking about native apps, but in modern day and age most of the work tools for remote work is usually in the browser. And in browser if page takes 1gb of ram on windows, it will take same 1gb of ram on linux. It just how it is.
On top of that, things like discord (unofficial clients banned, mind you), Spotify, vscode, etc. all use electron, which means just another browser. Oh and games also will take same or more ram, cause in best case scenario (for ram use) it’s a container with steam runtime and native executable and in worse — just windows game running thru proton.
they lied
What annoys me is not that you are wrong, but that LTT made same big claim, while acknowledging that Valve said “with FSR” in same sentence about 4k at 60. No one ever said “native 4k 60”. And yes, maybe you need to drop target resolution to as low as 1080p or 900p to achive that target, but it still achivable, hence not a lie.
On top of that, AMD released INT8 (I assume) FSR4.1 at same day, that supports this hardware, so quality wise it will be manageable. PS5 often used upscaling not based on ml and still looks okay.
And another thing — if new downgraded by AMD FSR4 won’t suffice, you can use full version of FSR4. On Linux it’s a thing, you can just drop FS4 dll to the game, add launch params to steam and use Proton-GE or Proton-Cachyos, those have patch for FSR3 override. I tested it on 7900xtx and ryzen z1extreme (apu), in both cases it performs better than FSR3 quality wise, while still providing perf uplift compared to native resolution.
Yeah, gotta draw a line at some point. I am kinky, but not that kinky
Yep, even Valve themselves told multiple times “it’'s just a computer”, hence the price that comparable to other prebuild computers. Who in their mind would pay 3x of that?
That being said, Alienware and Razor audience also exists, so anything possible.
