  • I mean, we already have Gaming PC OEMs and mini PCs. It’d be awesome if they start shipping SteamOS, but they can’t sell hardware at a near loss + make up for it with Steam sales + guarantee hardware support in software like Valve can.

    And most don’t have the volume for “semi custom” AMD SKUs.


    EDIT: The only entity I could see doing this is Intel, selling an Arc Steam Machine. That would be awesome, actually.










  • …Actually I largely agree, and I’m a CachyOS Linux acolyte.

    I have my Windows partition stripped down to the bone. Not even Defender’s active, but once it’s like that it does just work for games, media and such. The partition is ancient.

    …It would be hellishly inconvenient for dev stuff though. You are massively overselling Windows there.


    Same with Firefox. I’ve had some weird issues with it on Linux and Windows, especially with hardware/graphics acceleration.







  • conservative southasian society

    Friend, you ain’t seen nothing. I’ve seen stuff in the US South that you wouldn’t even see in Reddit. Stuff you wouldn’t believe, and I’m afraid to type out, stuff way worse than “If that n***** steps foot here again he’s getting lead in his belly.”

    Personal beliefs (and drama) can be pretty extreme.


    …That being said…

    Lemmy’s extreme too?

    I see dead serious “we should bludgeon X and his family to death” posts that make me very uncomfortable. Mods don’t care. When .world admins step in, the community cries censorship and ‘extremist right wing.’ I’ve almost left Lemmy over it.

    Maybe sh.itjust.works is better about that, though.


  • That could be versioning?

    For example, Arch Linux (CachyOS) sticks to one Python version systemwide, and doesn’t upgrade it until the whole Arch repo is ready to transition, while in Ubuntu many Python version exist in parallel. The Phoronix bench presumably uses the latest one. Perhaps Python 3.14 (and associated libraries) have some dramatic performance gains in certain benchmarks?


    I know there are some Python ‘hacks’ as well. Clear Linux, for instance, used to ship Python with some custom build flags and code patches that forced AVX2 and some other stuff, but I think Cachy pulled these in?
