If that’s all you need, a Raspberry Pi 5 will fit the bill nicely. It’s got two 4K HDMI outputs and it’s roughly on par compute-wise with a higher end Chromebook. You won’t be gaming on this thing – it can just about play a YouTube video at 4K60 – but it’ll gladly handle your desktop stuff. As a bonus it’s about an eighth the price of a Steam Deck.
You can even put Windows on it if you feel like committing blasphemy
if you (by which i mean you the reader, not OP) use linux for no other reason than to be able to tell people you use linux, kindly get the fuck out of my community
They’re also similar in that if you tell them you use Linux but like Canonical and/or Lennart Poettering they’ll yell at you and call you all sorts of names but if you tell them you’re a Windows user they’ll leave you alone
Every couple of years I think to myself “Ubuntu can’t be that bad, can it? I must be misremembering. Surely it’s just some combination of my memory exaggerating how terrible it was and my lackluster Linux skills, which have since improved. Everybody still recommends it as a beginner distro, right? Why’d I stop using it?”
And then I download Ubuntu.
And then I remember.
Microsoft realized they were losing basically the entire software development market to Linux so they started adding features like a pretty alright terminal emulator and a shell that almost looks POSIXcompliant if you squint (and don’t pass any flags to its built in commands) and trying ineffectually to hide the fact that they were basically on their knees saying BLEASE COME BACK WE NEED YOU
what kind of config file is short enough to fit on a single screen with line breaks?
Alright, the YAML spec is a dang mess, that I’ll grant you, but it seems pretty easy for my human eyes to read and write. As for JSON – seriously? That’s probably the easiest to parse human-readable structured data format there is!
Some data formats are easy for humans to read but difficult for computers to efficiently parse. Others, like packed binary data, are dead simple for computers to parse but borderline impossible for a human to read.
XML bucks this trend and bravely proves that data formats do not have to be one or the other by somehow managing to be bad at both.
Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
Where are the fans on this thing? Please do not tell me you intend to passively cool a chip you intend to run Cyberpunk 2077 on?
Did we learn nothing from Intel era Apple? Sure, AMD chips run moderately cooler than Intel ones under the same workload, but still…
I like the idea of a plug-and-play emulation station in a retro-styled case, but that case design is copyright infringement territory. Emulation devices are on shaky enough legal ground as it is, we do not need to tempt fate
I wouldn’t either had he stopped there (and perhaps been a shade less overtly hostile to someone giving their work away for free). Instead he followed it up with
“Maximum amount of freedom to potential users” is somehow mass-surveilance of every computer user thanks to the BSD license. Thanks for your contribution to “freedom.”
I’m sorry what manga is that panel from I have to go look it up
Have you considered torrenting the old fashioned way?
To an extent I agree with this, but “Once upon a time, this guy licensed his code under BSD instead of GPL and basically it’s his fault the Intel Management Engine exists” is definitely a step too far
That is actually the best way of putting it.
