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.
Whooaaaa, slow down.
It’s going to be awesome, but there’s no way Valve and spin up the production volume of a PlayStation or Xbox that fast. It will probably take a few more Steam Machines to get there.
…Isn’t this a bit ironic, considering GTA’s/RDR’s writing of (loosely) “plain folk’s plights?”
It’d be like CDPR going all in on DRM/corpo surveillance tech. And NO, CDPR Bot, that was not a suggestion!
That’s putting it a bit abrasively, but there’s a nugget of truth there.
An anecdote: I saw some (drug?) commercial where the wife orders pizza because the Dad’s a bumbling idiot for even attempting to use the kitchen. Everything about the way it was presented just screamed… ‘50s sexism,’ basically?
I answered elsewhere.
But a friendly warning, OP: you will get downvotes for using too many emojiis on Lemmy, heh.
Minecraft is gorgeous with a few mods. Or, more practically, a good modpack.
It’s also quite complex (with a good modpack).
And building requires a lot of mouse precision. And other kids their age are probably playing it. TBH among all these answers, it’s the obvious choice, if you ask me.
Aimlabs is quite literally a mouse precision training game. It has different ‘tests’ and courses for different skills.
Very effective in short bursts, but your kids might find it boring after awhile.
That’s basically all large fandom/hobby subs now, in my experience.
And yeah, don’t forget the shallow memes or fear of arbitrary banning.
…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.
It might have UX problems at this point? Maybe that’s why they’re hesitant.
I know “who is this for?” and “what would Steve Jobs say?” are tired memes, but… still. An even thinner body? Really?
Oh that’s it. There’s the veneer of Southern Hospitality (and a lot of it is legitimate) but folks keep the nastiness behind the curtain. Like, I have family that looks back on some relatives and had no idea they were racist until they thought a lot about some incidents, or caught something weird.
It went both ways, 100%…. Reconstruction failed. There’s a lot of resentment.
Btw idk if u r confusing south asia with southeast asia but trust me when I say its not pleasant here lmao
Fair. I’m a bit ignorant of how it is there, heh.
honestly its much better than any other form of such platform rn tbh
Yeah… Outside of a few more niche focused places, anyway.
The ‘brainpower’ here on Lemmy is higher too. Like, when I lurk in my old niche Reddit subs (which I can’t post in since I’m inexplicably shadowbanned?) I see no academic discussion, mostly memes. No decent help on question posts, but hostile responses or probable bots, even when I know the exact answer OP needs and can’t give it.

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?
Yeah.
Its so disparate (and so different from all the OpenGL results) it must be some config thing. What Vulkan switch is openSUSE flipping that all other other distros missed?
There’s also lot of manual patching, environment variables and idiosyncracies for specific packages like (say) python and ruby.
The key being FSR 3.
If it was FSR 4, that’d much better looking at high res.
