You’re so edgy! I’m jelly…

Why would it increase your energy bill?
That’s part of many people’s learning process. Meant of us, including me, have been there. Luckily, my last Windows computer was about 10 years ago. Good luck
I’m on Windows…that’s one variable I can’t change.

Thanks for letting me know! I really wanted to look at the UI when I realized what I was looking at, at the park, but I didn’t want to bother the employee. I appreciate that I got to see it in that video now
That, or the ability to spoof it
There are non-solder options available here: https://typeractive.xyz/
I just got the 5 column Corne keyboard kit
That is definitely your Windows bias haunting you. Package managers are the way to get software on your Linux distro. Going straight to the source has it’s place, but for 95% of use cases, you should be using your package manager.
One of the beautiful things about Linux is it’s versatility. Many people want to use their hardware for things other than gaming. For instance, I saw a Steam Deck at Disneyland being used to operate “autonomous” robots in Star Wars Land.
For me, I have been doing the vast majority of my gaming on my Steam Deck ever since I got it, however, recently, I was wanting to do some programming work while I was out and about, and was running into a lot of road blocks trying to do it on my Steam Deck. They can be overcome, but I found myself thinking about how much easier it would be to do my work on it, if it had a different distribution installed.
The Steam Deck is a consumer appliance, and as such has reasonable safeguards in place to protect users from themselves. Some users want to go beyond what’s available out of the box, and I imagine that freedom is what motivates most people to put other operating systems on their device.
Same! I can’t wait!
Sorry Americans…
For me, I would love to have a single GPU in my server that I can split up for use in transcoding videos for Plex in one VM, and another VM running something like Blue Iris with AI video analysis.
The potential use cases are many and varied, including some gaming use cases. You could have a single GPU in your Linux desktop, and be able to pass that through to a Windows VM to get native performance gaming in a VM. This is technically already possible, but you need two GPUs. With SR-IOV you could get away with only having one
SR-IOV allows you to share your GPU among many virtual machines in much the same way that you are able to share a single CPU among many VMs
Still much easier than setting up “smart” tech.
That’s really on a person by person basis. I’m a software engineer, and have already automated a lot of aspects of my life, so adding another device and a new automation took me like 10 minutes to setup.
You underestimate the strength of my ADHD. Automation keeps me from having to rely on ol’ unreliable
Mine is in my garage, and I can’t hear the jingle from inside the house.
But two power monitoring smart plugs+ home assistant fixed that issue
Have you tried installing Linux? That usually fixes all my problems
This one?
