The existing Alienware Alpha (which is basically what the SteamOS box is) benches about the same as an Nvidia GTX 750Ti, which outpowers both the XBox One and the PS4. It should have no problem matching or exceeding either console's pe

I do this with bcache. 250GB SSD, ~50 GB for / and swap and then 200GB for ssd caching, which is paired with a 1TB drive for a total of 1TB /home. With ~250GB SSDs going for like 100 bucks it's like a no-brainer to add one to

Yeah but deleting a lock file is a deal breaker for any user-facing system. Also there's nothing stopping me (or anyone) from doing bad things in a PPA, since the packaging system runs as root. In a snappy system apps are sandboxed. Al

Do an upgrade or install an application on your laptop ... while that is in progress pull the battery out. Package manager breaks. Atomic commits, rollbacks, and the big one, decoupling the OS from the applications. Developers can just publ
