  • 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

    Jump

  • I keep recommending BazziteOS but Jorge Castro over at the universal Blue project has a really good point "Most people don't install their operating systems" and that plain fact is what stops people from moving to Linux.

    Valve has momentum because they are selling you a system with the OS already on it. Sell more gaming PCs with pre installed Linux on it and the support will follow. Valve's first attempt at getting Linux based gaming hardware out there failed but that didn't stop them and the real push is coming this time.

    If you do install your OS (most people here have once or twice), try Bazzite out. I'm running it on the minisforum Bd790i with a radeon 7800xt and it works great!

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • Cool. I was just looking to see if someone had a guide because I'm trying to understand the pitfalls of doing it this way and I'm curious if anyone else has opened up Jellyfin to the world.

    Jump

  • Does anyone have any helpful guides on setting up jellyfin with a certificate so they can privately host it while also keeping it secure and up to date? I think if using docker it would make sense to use compose and configure traeffic proxy and use let's encrypt for certificates.

    Plex takes care of this for you with their cert and authentication systems. I feel like if user management and secure authentication is easy to set up then that is the primary reason to leave Plex. If I can just hand out accounts to anyone whom I would like to access my instance with ease then my family members could easily access it.

    If one was to host from the home, using something like tailscale to host it online with forwarding a port would also be ideal.

  • Thanks

  • I just want to make sure I read this correctly. It says that if you're a Plex plass holder already that remote streaming changes won't affect your service. This means that if I have the lifetime subscription and host my own server than users whom have not payed for Plex pass can continue to access this server without issue correct?

  • 'Mickey 17' Faces Tall Order at Box Office After $19 Million Opening Weekend

    Jump

  • I saw this movie this weekend. It was ok. There were a lot of missed opportunities and unexplored plot points. The film consistently stumbles just to keep the pace up. It had enough story to be a limited TV series but it was condensed in a way that made it feel rushed. With that being said I enjoyed the acting and cringed actively as I watched on in horror at what effectively is unironically already the world we live in.

  • The New Rust-Written NVIDIA "NOVA" Driver Submitted Ahead Of Linux 6.15

    Jump

  • This is True. I spend most of my gaming time on Bazzite with a 7800xt Nitro+ GPU. Works great 10/10.

  • The New Rust-Written NVIDIA "NOVA" Driver Submitted Ahead Of Linux 6.15

    Jump

  • I've bought two AMD GPUs in the last two years but I still have three Nvidia GPUs that I use. The cost of moving everything over to AMD is high so it just takes time to get rid of old hardware as a best case scenario.

  • Is cachyos the best distro for gaming support? (all amd)

    Jump

  • Sure. When selecting Nvidia GPU under Bazzite you will see this message "Steam Gaming Mode support is available for your hardware in beta, but multiple known issues exist in these builds. Please note that the majority of bugs cannot be fixed except by your GPU manufacturer."

  • BazziteOS for the win. I used ChimeraOS for a year but Bazzite has been much better. It comes out of the box with most everything you need.

    With that being said for gaming, Nvidia driver is very early days and is considered experimental under Bazzite. I have several Nvidia GPUs and I regularly test Linux with a 2070+Intel tiger lake machine to see what works and what doesn't.

    I purchased a Radeon 7800xt for Bazzite and it's extremely stable. This will probably be my recommendation going forward.

  • Capcom’s Strategy to Reactivate Dormant Game Franchises | Retro Gaming News 24/7

    Jump

  • I guess I'm going to have to do my part and REBUY games I already own when the Capcom test arrives and they say "We're re-releasing MegaMan Legends with no real quality of life changes for 40$ on steam to test the waters"

  • YouTube devs be like

    Jump

  • These platforms seem more vulnerable to alternatives than they ever have been before but it turns out the opposite is true. The hosting infrastructure is so expensive that it prevents competitors from even starting. Datacenters are basically a cartel and getting your foot in the door is near impossible without bouncing in on the heels of someone who's in. Making compute storage cheaper is not the name of the game when it's easier to profit by simply limiting access and driving the price up.

    On the other hand, YouTube has never been profitable.

  • Nintendo and The Pokémon Company seek injunction against Palworld plus fine and damages, developer says

    Jump

  • Nintendo sues everyone they can because as an IP holder of some seriously valuable properties, everything else in the gaming industry just looks like free real estate for them to colonize. I can make a game called "Dog Fighters" and I'm sure they'll find a way to tell me they own that idea.

  • Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US

    Jump

  • I've preordered it. I have a few hori controllers. Some are worse than others. Even though its design is pretty much identical to their switch controller, I honestly want to give it a try. My goto controllers lately have been the PS5 controller and the Gamsir g7 se. I have been playing everything recently on Bazzite so it's been fun to try out different controllers for different games.

  • The democrats did this to themselves

    Jump

  • They both have their corporate masters. It's just RedPubs run a pro corporate ticket and Democrats have a platform that is perceived as anti corporate. RedPubs get into the office and do exactly what they promised, Democrats get into the office and have to pretend to not bite the hand that feeds too hard (more of a gentle lick).

    This is why the Democrats strategy is to lose. They are essentially paid to lose. Corporatism is what is getting in the way of democracy.

  • Intel says integrating RAM into Lunar Lake SoC was a mistake, might abandon desktop GPUs again

    Jump

  • I would like to see further development but I always had a sneaking suspicion that its life was limited due to the fact that ARC does not come from Intel's fabs either. Like lunar lake, Arc is also made at TSMC.

  • Intel says integrating RAM into Lunar Lake SoC was a mistake, might abandon desktop GPUs again

    Jump

  • I don't think Lunar lake wasn't a "mistake" so much as it was a reaction. Intel couldn't make a competitive laptop chip to go up against Apple and Qualcomm. (There is a very weird love triangle between the three of them /s.) Intel had to go to TSMC to get a chip to market that satisfied this AI Copilot+ PC market boom(or bust). Intel doesn't have the ability to make a competitive chip in that space (yet) so they had to produce lunar lake as a one off.

    Intel is very used to just giving people chips and forcing them to conform their software to the available hardware. We're finally in the era where the software defines what the cpu needs to be able to do. This is probably why Intel struggles. Their old market dominant strategy doesn't work in the CPU market anymore and they've found themselves on the back foot. Meanwhile new devices where the hardware and software are deeply integrated in design keep coming out while Intel is still swinging for the "here's our chip, figure it out for us" crowd.

    In contrast to their desktop offerings, looking at Intel's server offerings shows that Intel gets it. They want to give you the right chips for the right job with the right accelerators.

    He's not wrong that GPUs in the desktop space are going away because SoCs are inevitably going to be the future. This isn't because the market has demanded it or some sort of conspiracy, but literally we can't get faster without chips getting smaller and closer together.

    Even though I'm burnt on Nvidia and the last two CPUs and GPUs I've bought have been all AMD, I'm excited to see what Nvidia and mediatek do next as this SOC future has some really interesting upsides to it. Projects like ashai Linux proton project and apple GPTK2 have shown me the SoC future is actually right around the corner.

    Turns out, the end of the x86 era is a good thing?

  • Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2

  • AAA title Published by Epic Games, doesn't use unreal engine, mega-chad move.

    I can see them in the future publishing it on steam as it has no integration into epic in any technical way. Epic will want to recoup their costs though by optimizing the release window for steam so expect it (if at all) to have a steam release when control 2 lands.
