Bazzite/bluefin so Fedora silverblue π
randomaside
I will check later. I have two machines on my bench with Bazzite. One with a 7800xt and another with a 2070 super. I usually encounter most issues with Nvidia. Bazzite is usually on the bleeding edge driver.
I just think it's neat!
Does it work without a subscription?
Honestly I'm ecstatic to see more Valve hardware. They're setting the target for hardware for game developers which means a better experience for us all.
PC Game Developers will know they need to get they're game running on deck (and now FRAME) if they want to hit the maximum size audience. Nvidia currently owns PC gaming but they're not good stewards of the PC gaming ecosystem anymore (nor is Microsoft).

I really have no interest in title's that beg me to run buggy builds on a $2000 graphics card that is less than 2 years old to be "playable". (Looking squarely at unreal engine 5 games)
-
I have no interest in GPUs that cost 200% the cost of the rest of the PC.

I want AMD apus to dominate the space. I want Linux to empower them. I am tired and TBH my next gaming PC is going to end up running Kazeta.org at this rate.
Thank you for coming to my TEDex talk
I've honestly been thinking about doing this myself. I'm so happy right now I can barely be contained!
Mom and Pop NYC landlords. I immediately want to balk at this statement but then I remembered two things. Firstly I remember "How to with Jon Wilson". He made an episode about buying the house from his landlord and that the only way to pay for it was to turn it into a rental property. His landlord was an old lady who wanted to move out.
Secondly, I remember meeting a couple who sold a brownstone before the pandemic, moved to Montclair NJ, and then purchased a home and turned their second floor into an apartment.
Do mom and pop landlords exist? Yes. Are they opportunistic? I don't think those single family homes should be allowed to be turned into apartments. I've seen some pretty heinous abuses of some people essentially turning a closet and a hallway into a "studio".
Maybe "Mom and Pop" landlords shouldn't exist.
It is (unfortunately) their primary foothold into the market. Microsoft also knows this which is why some many other projects at Microsoft have been killed and absorbed by the Microsoft office team. They have a cannabalistic corporate culture. Its clear that at Microsoft the only threat to Microsoft... Is Microsoft... No one else on the radar registers.
They will adapt.
Embrace, extend, extinguish. They will become Linux.
In all seriousness, if you look into how windows manages its security now, it leverages virtualization to essentially run windows inside of a hypervisor. At some point in the future, the legacy windows kernel is going to just be another virtual machine running side by side with Linux and the hypervisor will probably run their HyperV tech on top of a Linux (compatible) kernel.
Then they will say that you need their version of Linux to run specific hardware and software.
EEE
The writing of this article was not the quality I would have preferred. The infotainment angle really makes it feel like their data can't be trusted. With that being said,
"as long as you have a distro with an up to date kernel and the latest Mesa drivers your out of box experience wonβt vary much at all."
This is actually a greater challenge for the average user than they think it is. Its also why the universal Blue project exists. Using the OCI container model for the OS, they can easily upgrade and customize the kernel, drivers, and even upgrade to entire new versions of Fedora without batting an eye. This is the main reason I've switched over to Bazzite. The pain of updating is gone. Also, most images have the "-nvidia" version which alleviates the headaches of maintaining your Nvidia drivers.
Rant: If anything, this article shows that the nuances of the FOSS ecosystem is lost on them because they're afraid of strange elitists imaginary neck beard criticizing them? I understand this is for comedic effect but it feels sophomoric and hacky; like they've missed the point. I would ask them to follow Jorge Castro a bit and understand the work he's doing is specifically to make Linux for everyone else.
TBH they will be the last publication to come around to it. As Microsoft leaves us all no real choice in the matter, the future of the PC hobbyist is Linux, weather they like it or not so they need to stop complaining and start contributing.

All your icons should not be the same two three four colors. It gets harder to distinguish one app from another. It all becomes noise functionally.
