I imagine would be awful. Would two kernels have to run on the same machine?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but afaik, applications talk through APIs. It shouldn’t matter if app runs x86 and kernel is ARM

Not necessarily. Steam Deck SoC is CPU+GPU out of which latter is probably the bigger part. Also, on the chip there are all the memory, USB, Pcie, audio and other controllers.

Adding 4 arm cores definetly wouldn’t double the chip size

I don’t know - you’d need at least 4 arm cores, and 4 x86. Current deck uses just 4 x86, so squeezing in more would require waiting for some fabrication improvement to keep power draw and cost sane

Its gonna be ARM based

Doubtful. Emulation of x86 code is just too slow. I’d rather expect hybrid SoC, with both ARM cores and x86. System and dedicated games can run natively on ARM, while legacy software may utilize x86

This isn’t sarcasm - operating system isn’t a toy. Most people aren’t using OS just for the sake of it. It’s a tool to run stuff you need for work/entertainment

Distro hopping is for noobs.

In general you should change distro only if current one fails to meet your needs

True, they ended P2P networking and proper encryption. It was pretty obvious in the context of Prysm scandal

Please Microsoft couldn’t even maintain Skype dominance after they bought it.

I hope he’ll turn Steam into non-profit before he dies…

It’s funny because if Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft and Epic joined forces to make one platform they could put a dent in the steam monopoly.

But since they’re bunch of shittiy toxic managers with mentality of screwing everyone around for their own benefit, it’s never going to happen. They will always fail and crawl back to Gabe

Windows 10 and 11 happened

Edit: Also around 2017 DXVK happened bringing high end gaming to Linux

I did what I could: Signed the petition, sent it to some friends, who signed it as well

Lemmy is full of communists/socialists - this is an opposite side of political spectrum

Despite all the lawsuits, it’s still sailing

Wait until you install some package and then scratch your head not knowing how to run it.

Students don’t learn by just going to class then doing nothing afterwards

Really? Then why are they going there in the first place???

And how do you get that juicy job experience allowing you to negotiate higher wage? You spend time on homework given you by your boss???

Jesus I wish I could get paid for just going to school.

Maybe you should be paid for passed exams and decent grades?

Stop relying on students to do their work in home. Most of people work from 9 to 5 yet education system expects teenagers to do overtime assignments. And noone even pays them for it.

My problem with it is that it reinforces toxic monopoly, and I don’t even know how much money goes to the creators.

Also they raised price multiple times lately

Are people really okay with this?

No, thats why they use adblock. Either install adblock or just use Brave or Opera browser. Ads will be gone forever
