AMD also claims that the Ryzen AI Max 395+’s integrated graphics, the Radeon 8060S, can beat the RTX 4070 laptop GPU by up to 68%

This sounds really promising. IMO previous NUC products are only targeting multimedia, and they performed poor at gaming. If a NUC could have at least mid-level gaming PC’s performance, it will be very attractive to those who have limited desk space

I would suggest every person to have a try. Even you feel SIFU too hard, you can only play 30 minutes.

This is the only game which gives me the feeling that I’m inside a 1980s Hong Kong Kung Fu movie. The only game.

Do we have TLDR for this 14 min video?

I had a quick view at this post : https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/157qa6c/rx_6600_or_rx_6700_xt_for_1080p/

It seems to me that 6700xt is much stronger than 6600. More expensive, too. Personally, I would pay some extra money 6700xt, but it depends on OP’s budget and game preference.

I’d suggest OP to consider several factors:

1. Is the game you’re playing CPU-intensive? aka Will your 3600X be the bottleneck if you have a powerful GPU?
2. Do you have a 4K/1440p monitor?

I would definitely pay for the game Concord, just for its brand.

If the sub title is Sony Flight Simulator

At least 90% of the memes and jokes are unrelated to the game, just no brain copy paste. That’s really annoying.

I like game-related memes, but they’re really hard to find now

Old price, you need to spend 3000 annually to meet the break even of executive membership.

After increase, the break even is 3250. Considering the inflation, I think it still worth to keep the executive membership if you visit Costco regularly.

Not sure if Sams will follow this. Maybe Sams would take this chance to attract more members?

Some performance-extensive games may also work better on PS5. As OP doesn’t plan to build a gaming PC, I think a PS5 could improve the experience of lots of new games.

I’m a bit baffled that some people still use HDDs considering how cheap SSDs have gotten. You can get a 2TB M.2 for around $100. If you’ve got the specs for new games, there’s no excuse.

I don’t know why you got some downvotes. Buying an SSD to store the latest games is much more cheaper than buying a GPU. If one already has a powerful GPU, I don’t know why they consider an SSD “not affordable”

Also: I think rpm-ostree only supports rpm-based packages, tho; right?

Can I install .deb software too?

I don’t think rpm-ostree could support .deb softwares, just like dnf/yum can’t support deb packages.

Can you share your use case for trying to install a deb package in Fedora? I’m just curious.

And is there any kind of system-as-a-config-file kind of solution available like in NixOS or blendOS?

Good question. I only have a few computers, so I had never considered about it.

While I’ve looked into Fedora Silverblue, that distro is limited to only install Flatpaks, which is fine for “apps”, but seems to be more of a problem with managing system- and CLI tools.

No. Your understanding to Fedora Silverblue is wrong. I can just run rpm-ostree install package.name in Silverblue, like other Fedora spins. The small disadvantage is that I need to reboot to apply this update. (re-construct)

but doesn’t that result in new A/B snapshots, or something like that?

Well, you can call it snapshots, but there is no need to think about it. In most cases, the system points to the newest snapshot (deployment 0). If a rollback is needed, I can pin to the older deployments. When a major change is to be applied (Like bump Fedora version), I’d manually mark the current deployment as dont-auto-delete.

Sure, but I’d like to have a more seamless experience, i.e. not having to open/start any “containers” or something like that.

I never used toolbox in my Fedora Silverblue system. I feel that I can’t tell the difference between using Silverblue and the default Fedora spin

Valve has been using MoltenVK to run Dota2 on Mac1. I’m a bit worried that if Valve would cut the funding on MoltenVK2. Furthermore, CS:GO had been an example of a cross-platform example for multiple-player game. Valve’s games may still support Linux/SteamOS, but what if other developers only release their games as win-only in future?

I think the biggest challenge is anti-cheat. I don’t know if there is any solution instead of waiting for native release (like Dota2 and CSGO). Also, although I don’t like Microsoft GamePass, lacking the support of it means we may need to pay extra to try various games.

I think Wine/Proton works really great nowadays (well I’ve repeated it at different places). As 2023-07-28, ProtonDB shows that in the top 1000 games, 75% are rated gold or better.

When it comes to distro, I think most popular ones are good enough if they meet to conditions (1) packages are not too out-dated (2) Not difficult to install some non-free dependencies (like rpmfusion)

I’m using Thunderbird for my outlook.office365.com email account which is managed by employer. It works perfect.

1. Set server name to outlook.office365.com and Authentication method to OAuth2
2. Thunderbird will give you a pop-up window, which let you fill in the username and password
3. My account requires DUO, and it worked smoothly too.

However, it’s also possible that your administrator has different server settings, denying the access of Thunderbird.

TLDR, I think it worth a try

It’s sad that these games are not covered by PS+ deluxe. $120 sounds a bit expensive to me, but it depends on eager you want to play these old games.

Quick calculation: Assuming you have 5 games to play on PS3, you spend $120 for the console and $200 for the pre-owned discs, you’re spending $62 on average, which is almost the full price of a new release game. If you think these games are interesting enough, then this is a to-go decision.

As many people has pointed out, it’s always worth to try the simulator on PC first

As you stated, there are countless of great games you haven’t played. I think it is worth $100 unless you plan to buy a PS5/Xbox very soon.

You can try to find cheap pre-owned PS4 discs. Besides, you’d better have a look at PS Plus Extra Game list. Spending the price of 1.5 games, and you can enjoy 15+ games within one year.

For me I would not upgrade the monitor now. Only PS4 Pro support 4K gaming (for some games), I’d save the bucks for monitor upgrade in future.

+1 for porkbun. I haven’t compared the prices carefully, but I really enjoyed their convenience. I have very little knowledge about that stuff, but I had no trouble using porkbun tools

Great! That’s a great milestone. More people subscribed, more high-quality posts and comments, and more attractive to new subscribers. I believe we’re in a good path.

More people also means more responsibility to the mod team. Thank you for your work to keep /c/steamdeck a nice place

I’ve not tried myself but the interface seems decent and I’ve not seen anyone complain about it being annoying.

Thank you! That’s a relief for me to when considering PS5 version.

Thank you!

“which one will I play more?”

This is a brilliant question. My PC and PS5 are both in my living room. However, if I play on PS5, it’s easier for my wife to look at me, and laugh at me dying :)

I know Diablo IV is a always-online game. I don’t expect to play it when I’m outside. I expect to play Diablo IV in bathroom or during insomnia (well, I know it’s bad for my health)
