The best shot for that any time soon would be Qualcomm’s ARM laptops. But it doesn’t seem like they are prepared to deliver what is necessary to make that happen currently. I think they under estimated how much software/driver work was necessary to compete.

It may be more productive to layout an example of how you could make a better build with the same budget. Your critique may be accurate, but it doesn’t really help them build a better system next time.

I think it is reasonable to assume Valve will leverage automation heavily. Why pay someone to update that list when a script could do it?

Thank you for linking that.

Was that in what was shared above and I missed it or was that said somewhere else? Could you share that if it is easily available?

The point was simply that Debian is not responsible for Ubuntu or PopOS, but they can still interact cooperatively. Downstream benefits from the work Upstream does and downstream can contribute upstream so everyone benefits.

I would be inclined to think Valve doesn’t want the responsibility of making it a “broad” OS. More likely is there are other open source communities that are taking that on and Valve is willing to work with. Much like we have Debian -> Ubuntu -> PopOS.

Have you used Google lately? At least chatGPT doesn’t make me scroll past a full page of ads before giving me a half wrong answer.

Maybe if you wrote better code …

Dude, your waist effort. They are a troll with the goal of stirring up shit. Talking to them accomplishes nothing of value.

My guess is the motherboard manufacturers could get away with this in the past without any issues. But Intel is pushing chips so close to redline out of the box that now it causes problems.

I think there is an author that said, “Books aren’t completed, they are abandoned.” Code can feel the same.

Beautiful.

Hallow Knight is a good Metroidvania. I think i can run it at 90 fps with no drops with the 8w profile.

They didn’t WANT to make budget cards. They wanted mid/high end cards but fell short. But it’s better to sell at a lower price then to completely eat the cost for hardware they already made.

Towards the end of Hallow Knight and just starting FF7 remake.

Not really. They get big headlines to scare people off and make it more difficult for casual people to get started. They don’t need to make it impossible for everyone, just impractical for most.

They have more money to spend on lawyers is how.

If a MAC is going to do everything you need it’s not a bad choice. As for a PC if you want a desktop it won’t be using laptop parts. Some parts can be the same between laptops and desktops like storage and Wifi cards, but you will still want to verify. If you want to learn about building a desktop PC start by making a build on PCPartPicker. Then bring post the build to get additional feedback. If you just want a working machine check out pre-built options.

You honestly sound like your stressed out and in fight/flight mode. The first step is just acknowledging where you are mentally and how it’s going to make everything seem worse than it really is.
