Then what is Overwatch?

The Chromium base, which is what Steam is built upon, itself isn’t supported on Win 7,8. Can Valve work upon it to make it backwards compatible? Maybe. Will it be a pain in the ass to maintain? Absolutely.

Also, if you don’t want to upgrade to Win11, you can make a 2nd partition for Linux and enjoy your games.

as difficult as plugging in a flash drive

That’s a gross over-simplification

They have to

1. Download the windows ISO
   • How do you find the original ISO and not a cracked one?
2. Get instructions to modify the ISO
   • Hope you get the right set of instructions from a genuine website
3. Download Rufus and install
4. Make backup of their data
   • Hope you disabled Bitlocker also
5. Reboot and press the F? key to change boot order (F? varies from system to system)
   • How do you even find the right key for this?
6. Follow the installation process

One of the reasons Linux is not widespread is because following these “simple” instructions is too much for an average user. So I doubt a Windows user will be bothered to modify their OS. I have installed different variants of Linux 100s of time and even I need to check online if their are any hidden gotchas.

but if you install it right

Basically eliminates the vast majority of people who don’t have the technical knowledge to deal with Rufus

IMO the only advantages the ROG Ally has over the Steam Deck OLED are

• VRR with 120 Hz
• Anti-cheat support
• Slightly more powerful chip

In every other way, the Steam Deck is superior (interface polish, battery life, HDR, touchpad).

It’s possible I have to RTFM.

I checked the Bazzite documentation for the Ally and it says SimpleDeckyTDP provides more features than HHD so I didn’t experiment with it at all. I prefer using the Decky plugin mainly because it fits with the Bazzite theme better :P

Hi, you’re absolutely correct and sorry for being unclear.

I mean precise TDP control (16W or 17W) and custom fan curves. I’ve used HHD, it’s also good. Most people simple switch between power saving / balanced / performance but wanted to go down further to extract a little more juice out of the device.

SimpleDeckyTDP is a bit tricky (open desktop mode - open terminal - paste command) to install but offers more customisation.

If I had to a host a HTPC, it would be with Docker as it’s a more reliable way to maintain a service.

You’re welcome!

I have been very particular in this review about the experience of using Windows compared to Bazzite, not the performance. I’ve seen many reviews talk about how one is offere 5-10 FPS more than the other OS but you really don’t notice that most of the time.

Windows can do everything that Linux can do on average but the experience is vastly different. That is what I’m trying to say in this post.

I would be happy if they just made sure it works with Proton. We would be seeing serious Linux native games when we have a 20-30% market share anyway.

How do you activate Arch Premium? I got that stupid “Activate” overlay on my desktop.

What kind of use-cases was it, where you didn’t find suitable local models to work with ?

Any time you ask very domain specific questions; eg “i have collected some soil samples from the mesolithic age near the Amazon basin which have high sulfur and phosphorus content compared to my other samples. What factors could contribute to this distribution?”, both of-the-shelf local models & OpenAI fail.

The main reason is because these models are not trained on highly-specialized domains of text. Sometimes the models start hallucinating and which reduces our trust upon them.

I think mkdocs is easier than hugo but less flexible in terms of capability. However it serves all my needs (list of webpages accessible from a central frontpage)

My company is realizing that hosting a model which will be private, cost-effective, and performing better than traditional algorithms is like finding a unicorn. Few months back, the top execs were jumping around GenAI like a bunch of kids. Fortunately, the Sr. research head beat some sense into them.

Adobe should get comfortable with users not using AI

I too travel the seven seas for hidden loot ⛵

Stardew Valley is a good fit.

You tend to your farm, help people, maintain relationships with people by gifting them and changing their lives.
