Probably some hack to make it look to the OS like it is charging the battery.

But yeah, why all the silicone? 😱

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.

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.

Kinda missed opportunity to call it the companion cube 😅

But I am sure there will be a custom skin for it that will make it look like one.

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

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…

Is something you might be interested in.

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.

Proxmox adds a lot of complexity and a nice GUI. If you are fine with using the terminal, there is really not much benefit from Proxmox and the potential issues from the added complexity are IMHO not worth it. I am not a Proxmox expert though, so take this advise with a grain of salt 😅

The federation is mainly about issues / bug reports (the discussions and comments) and being able to make cross instance pull-requests and so on. So yes, it is mostly about communication.

Usually companies accept that you remove storage mediums before sending it in, as those might contain private data. And if that is ok, then there is no way for them to know that you installed Linux on those.

Hmm, good question. I don’t have a setup for that either, but I don’t think there is a built in function for that.

Your best bet is probably to find some tool that notifies you if new files get created in a directory, as AFAIK new snapshots are only created if they were successfully transferred.

Nextcloud is overkill for what you want.

If all you need is a shared calendar and a simple way to upload images, then this is a good option: https://github.com/tchapi/davis

Wifi is often a module in older laptops, and you could unplug that.

Otherwise, 10W is quite good for older hardware, I doubt you will get much below that.

Nice work. But the phone should be able to host quite a bit more, as it is actually quite fast.

Debian is fine and you can follow many tutorials (Ubuntu tutorials also usually work as the difference isn’t big).
