SteamOS is arch based, but not arch. We will see how far this will affect upstream, but since SteamOS mainly focusses on Flatpak for apps, there is no real need for a huge ARM repo.

The sideload APK think might have been speculation, or do you have a video with a Valve employee saying so? It could certainly work with Waydroid and some tinkering, but probably not for Android VR games that AFAIK depend on some proprietary Meta stuff most of the time.

So uh, ahem.

Yes.

Valve can indeed count to three.

No, the Steam Controller doesn’t fully count. This is 2.5 at best.

And see how the Steam Frame only has two screens and not three?

No, they could compile Steam for native ARM and launch the x86 games via FEX from within.

Remains to be seen which way they go, but I see no big reason why they would not do that.

On the Linus Tech Tips video they revealed that it is using the open-source FEX x86 emu (which development supported by Valve).

Looks pretty promising and no huge surprises. Will be interesting to see the price points of each.

Yeah, sometimes. Depends on the audience obviously.

Why not “Solarpunk”? 👍

You really love rage baiting moderators, right?

Tl;dr: “you will get more conservative with age” 🤦

It is one thing to self-examine one’s own realistic agency in this world, but another thing to fall into a self-defeating mindset like that.

Well, there is also an aspect of cognitive dissonance involved that makes people ignore or reject certain notions if they feel helpless about them.

Recent models run surprisignly well on CPUs if you have sufficient regular RAM. You can also use a low VRAM GPU and offload parts to the CPU. If you are just starting out and want to play around I would try that first. 64gb system RAM is a good amount for that.

There have been such attempts, like Nextbox for example. But afaik they have been all commercial failures, IMHO because basically anyone that cares enough about this stuff can build their own for a much lower price, and those that don’t…

This is such an absurd article. Web3 was never anything but a scam and extraction vehicle and now the author seems to have a “are we the baddies?” moment, or what?

It’s worth a try asking your current members in a local sticky-post. Just make sure you do a realistic estimation on how often you might not be available so that they know how involved it might become.

Otherwise the people over at db0 are trialing an “armada” concept of sharing admin burdens between instances. So that is also something you might want to consider.

Is something you might be interested in.

Finding a fully managed Lemmy server for a similar low price seems unlikely (and K&H have probably under-priced this).

I think it would be more worthwhile to find some additional admins to share the burden and move to some reasonably priced VPS.

With libvirt it is fairly easy yes. And you can also install a standalone web-gui like Cockpit or use the desktop app virt-manager over ssh to do it.

Uff, big difference! Nice job 👍
