I wonder what happens with all the hardware that is not considered W11 ready when W10 goes EOL. And no, I don’t think “switch to Linux” mantra is solution for everyone. It sure is possible for a lot of home users, but I mean mainly those thousands and thousands of office/corp/workstation PCs with SW that simply can’t be moved to Linux. Is it simply going to be one huge middle finger from MS?
Are you me? I used to play some online multiplayer games, but switching to linux (some 3 years ago?) and being less competitive came hand in hand. Now I enjoy single players only (with sprinkle of Path of Exile and World of Tanks (well, not really anymore)) and can’t understand why should I even consider going back to those toxic waters of competitive play… Am I officially old?
I’m no big fan of car games (unlike my brother), but I played tons and tons of Porsche Unleashed. Awesome game for sure.
Schwarzwald!
It comes preconfigured in openSUSE and requires 0 skill.
Snapper for the rescue! Again. I still don’t get how everyone else ignores this awesome piece of software?!
I would buy it instantly for my daughter.
Yep, I would buy steamdeck for that purpose except I’d feel it could be even cheaper as a simple and more convenient small brick without fancy display and controls.
Makes sense, except for “one model”. I think it would be better to have two options.
One low cost, thinking mini pc with integrated gpu (like steamdeck) for casual gamers, 2d gaming, old game®s, etc. Would also be perfect as “home office” PC or media consumption device.
Second one would be bigger and stronger with dedicated GPU capable of “real” gaming and running all the modern games. Yes, powerful hardware is expensive, but serious gaming is no cheap thing…
Well, I remembered it wrong, it’s only 100 TB written. Still quite a lot IMO. Reads are 300 TB+ though.
Yep, it’s a lot, but it should be right. Hope I did not misread the numbers. It runs quite write-heavy warehouse and cash register store database, running 24/7. I don’t have the drive by me now, but I’ll try to remember and post pic on Monday when I’m back to work.
Yeah, I get that. But since it’s (basically) XMPP, can’t it be used with such as Converse.js?
I wonder how does this differ from plain XMPP? There are tons of XMPP clients for every imaginable device, includong browser ones.
I’m sorry for worthless comment in advance. I’ve never heard of FreeIPA, but I’d definitely get free IPA ;-)
We have hundreds of Samsung 860/870 EVOs in operation at my work now. All of them are working reliably in both windows and linux machines running 24/7 for years. Some more heavily used (local postgres db) are probably not in the best condition, but still working. Speaking of mostly 250 GB ones.
We used to buy OCZ brand. First OCZs (Vertex 3) were amazing, some of them are still in work for 10+ years. Vertex 460 still great, again, some are still in use. But ever since Toshiba came in and old models were replaced with Trion models, it went to shit. Some of those models in the same environment started to fail (and I mean critical failures, like no OS after reboot or missing data etc.) after less than a year. Some of them still run in less critical PCs with light use, but do I trust the brand? Hell no.
I just checked one 250 GB OCZ Vertex 3 running for ~10 years with Crystaldisk. It has over 220 TB written, 300 TB read, and crystaldisk still shows roughly 40% lifetime left. It ran in badly wented, really dusty Dell Optiplex with Windows XP.
Edit: Personally I also have good experience with Crucial/Micron too, but that’s just based on home use for storing music, documents, steam games and not much else.
I played the game for years over decade ago. It was fun with friends, but ultimately turned to absolute cesspool over years. Don’t get me wrong, toxicity was always there (as with every other online game), but it ranked up every year. Year after year. Until I finally gave up and never really looed back, because of how toxic and miserable I felt in game. Can’t even imagine it nowadays.
I believe these problems would be sorted out pretty quickly if big player like Fedora really switched. We can only dream for now…
Games bought from EGS definitely are not first class citizen in Linux world. Luckily there are Heroic or Lutris.
It doesn’t change the fact that “30 people that made Palworld” is still really small studio. And that being small studio doesn’t mean you can’t make vastly successful game.
Same for me with Black Mesa. Native version has all sorts of graphical glitches while Proton looks as it should.
OTOH some games like Valheim runs very well native.
