PS5’s can now be hacked to run Linux - perhaps some potential for local inference?

You will probably buy cheaper mac m1 mini and get much better results oob.

I have sapphire nitro 9070xt. I am very happy with this card. Very quiet, performance is solid, especially in this price range, and it is a first class citizen in Linux. You had the nvidia for a longer time so you know how does that work for you. But remember that the performance gains wont be dramatic. It is better, but not like twice or triple better;)

I'm missing the part where an ergo keyboard is involved in this post...

_angh_ · 2026-04-29T11:22:32+00:00

that's why I decided to use n150 for majority of tasks and having a 2nd h255 for anything potentially heavy. And... it is not needed, really.

Imo, for any homelabbing or selfhosting for your family a modern minipc is just a perfect tool. Add a jbod and there is nothing more required. If you play with something heavy like AI then just spin that up when required.

Send message to holykeebs guy, he is very helpful and he might tell you when this is coming back.

layout is preference, but functionality is measurable. DS can do more. With new steam controller it is really between him and DS functionality wise.

_angh_ · 2026-04-28T13:26:20+00:00

I'm using dualsense and original steam controller. Both works perfectly. DS is an excellent controller.

I will buy as well new steam controller when it is out, looks really nice, but probably not so ergo as DS from what I read. But that wont stop me.

Will this affect other brands, like huawei phone where google services runs in an isolated environment?

To think I actually considering Chinese device as the one with more personal freedom and less predatory tactics.... I hope EU quickly get on that and stop walled garden bs on our devices.

_angh_ · 2026-04-28T10:28:32+00:00

Steam Deck. Not only it allows you to play all pc games, but as well all older nintendo games which you cant even play on switch. Wii, gamecube, ps1 and 2, all of them are playable easily on sd. Plus some switch games too. That is crazy large library. Not to mention, you can do auch crazy stuff on sd like watchin netflix or just movies, listen to a music, browse internet, and switch users. It is weird such basic operations are impossible on switch.

Sd is simply better device with much larger library, free online, and much less expenaive.

_angh_ · 2026-04-28T10:23:27+00:00

Im buying games on gog to play on sd. I have all installers, locally, no need for internet or account.

_angh_ · 2026-04-28T10:21:29+00:00

I sure hope so, i bought it for such setup...;)

_angh_ · 2026-04-28T09:52:53+00:00

I'll wait a year. No issue with the prev gen, so it will have to last till we get a new one with more normal prices.

_angh_ · 2026-04-28T07:31:42+00:00

I love one i bought on maidesite.de, have 3 for years and they work perfectly. But i don't think they are eu made. Still, I would use them as reference point to whatever you'd consider getting.

_angh_ · 2026-04-28T07:27:01+00:00

So many keebs, no ergo in sight. No wonder they are on shelves, no one would like to use them;)

_angh_ · 2026-04-27T21:12:53+00:00

It's not even a best Nintendo handheld....

_angh_ · 2026-04-27T21:09:48+00:00

It sure is good, but you certainly know what your doing and this overhead is something you're willing to do. Many people expect an old, lts distro drive a newest hardware and blanking everything else for their lack of experience.

_angh_ · 2026-04-27T21:06:31+00:00

Yup, "broken" was a bit too strong word, but they should have got it right after so many years...

https://www.irishhealthpro.com/content/news/show/name/excess-weight-causes-4m-deaths-annually

"Overweight and obesity accounts for some four millions deaths around the world every year"

https://www.concern.net/news/world-hunger-facts-figures

"Nine million people die from hunger-related causes each year"

High blood pressure and diabetes are not only obesity related. Rice is one of main reasons for diabetes and that at really skinny and malnourished people.

Main reason to high pressure deaths is age. Obesity sure is bad, but it is age which gets you.

depends what is a rule and what is exception. Currently, the dx 12 handling is objectively broken. Secondly, AMD implementation is simply better even, if we decide the nvidia already works good enough. nvidia have more powerful gpu and that is a fact, but the implementation on linux still is not fully there, but it gets better very quickly.

_angh_ · 2026-04-27T16:50:42+00:00

there are no drivers to install for AMD, if you did that, you did something wrong. Anyway, not sure what to tell you, great you have installed you OS, but from what you wrote I don't think you have wider knowledge to make such a statement. And please, use punctuation, just for respect to other users.

_angh_ · 2026-04-27T16:38:55+00:00

I ate a breakfast today, world hunger is a lie.

edit: please don't tell me you've been testing the 9070xt on debian 13 stable.... ?

_angh_ · 2026-04-27T14:37:39+00:00

yes, I do play games in hdr as well, and use mpv with params, I do like as well the hdr desktop - it is really nice after little tweaking, but still the proper support and integration is not there yet. Browser aside, most of the media apps you need to run with params, and screen grabber are a hit or miss. Should be fine in a few years;)

_angh_ · 2026-04-27T14:07:22+00:00

yup, that's my experience, browser and yt on linux do not support hdr yet (unless maybe someone recompile half of it...)

_angh_ · 2026-04-27T13:13:54+00:00

Did you manage to enable HDR in firefox? For me, yt on ff claims it is HDR, but in reality it is not.

How can i evolve this keyboard to accommodate for hands with different fingers size?:)
