Those services support Linux, but like you noted, not all the games that use the services do. (adding to your Destiny example, Fortnite has explicitly been denied[3] Linux support.) [1] https://nitter.unixfox.eu/thebattleye&#

Linux gamer since 2020 here. While obviously not perfect, things are getting better at amazing speed. Between Linux getting better and Windows getting worse at compatibility, your 3-year timeline looks very doable. Though multiplayer games

Nested Hyper-V on AMD hardware. (Though ironically, the biggest users of this feature I'm aware of are Linux VFIO enthusiasts trying to run multiplayer games in a VM.)

Specifically for VM's, something like Looking Glass (shared framebuffer so you don't need a dedicated monitor) needs the extra bandwidth to get the video signal through without tanking performance, especially at higher resolutions

It's still a problem if you want to run previous gen hardware. For instance, if I have a Gen4 motherboard and pass through a second GPU to a VM - so the second GPU at Gen3 x8 plus the host GPU at Gen4 x8 - I'm only using a quarter

I used to get mysterious lockups on my personal PC. Turns out I had a habit of touching the case with my leg, and when enough static built up on my chair, the zap from my leg would crash it. The thing is still going, knock on wood!

Tangent: Did the switch to ARM put up more legal barriers than technical barriers for future ARM-based Hackintoshing? Sure, lots of special features in Apple silicon, and probably not enough time or manpower to replicate them; but wouldn&#x

It also could have even driven more slavery, like the cotton gin did to the antebellum south.

Given how often animal manure was used as fuel for fires in the past, I'm surprised that most people didn't pre-burn their dried feces before using it as fertilizer. I get why - it's too much extra work - but I would've

It bears repeating[1]: the mob doesn't replace the king; the court does, using the mob to do it. Nothing will get better under a revolution unless we're EXTREMELY, infinitessimally small chance lucky. [1] https://youtu.b

Anecdotally, new units are about the same quality for a higher price than 10-15 years ago. Nothing objective, could be wrong; in my late-2000's case, it was from Costco, so maybe it was higher priced elsewhere.

It would have worked better if it was something more blatant, like "Ngreedia".

No company can change like that without being entirely gutted and remade. ...though they can have splitoff "cells", like the 5150 team or Xerox PARC. I can't tell from here, but given Intel's waffling in the past, maybe

I'm not a fan of Intel, but honestly this was pretty well expected of them, the delays and driver issues. And yes I know it's marketing, but if what they say in their LTT[1] video is true, then GPU driver optimizations are apparen

At least in the US, they are to be treated as any other vehicle on the road, and are supposed to follow the same rules. Aside from restrictions on highways and freeways because of slowness, there is no "subset".

Bicycles really need dedicated infrastructure. Too fast for pedestrians on the sidewalk, too slow for most roads. (I know they are legally allowed on the road; in practice though, it doesn't work out very well.)

That's a relief. Without UEFI, the boot drive is limited to 2.2TB, hampering upgrades.

by bilegeek 4y ago
Though keep in mind that'll limit your boot drive to 2.2TB in size. Not too much of an issue now for most people, but something to keep in mind during upgrades.

But does the option in question enable third party certificates, or disable UEFI entirely?
