Absolutely yes. You’d be better buying a dedicated PC for Linux tho.

t. Got a Orange pi 5 MAX with Linux installed. It’s tricky to set up, but worths a lot in the end (low power usage while providing a decent performance – can be used as a “mini server” to host your own personal file server or anything else you’d like while providing a smooth experience for anything your job may require from it.)

If you have lower standards, even a $10 arm pc can be “mainstream”.

More like the same thing.

At 80’s however will be like “Damn, I used to talk with randoms about my age and making such a big deal in my 20’ties. And now I’m in my 80’ties and I could die in any moment.”

At 100’ties will be like “Ah, fu-”

Just you wait until you reach a point where you think “I used to feel old when I was in my 20’ties. Now I’m really old.”

t. Am 41 years old.

A very solid mod indeed. Too bad it has only one map.

Unplayable on Linux and good on Linux?

My Dear Scott!

I’ve tried setting it to boot from an nvme, microsd and external and the result was the same – the board just sits there with no boot. But, as I said previously, writing it to disk with their sketchy software worked as intended.

…I’m starting to think there is something wrong with the image file.

Only on Linux. The command was simply sudo dd if=image.img of=/dev/sda bs=1M.

which exact image you dd’ed

This one.

Yep. It’s an official image, not from third parties.

The write process with dd most likely worked just fine.

Not on my end. For some reason it (only) works when I write said image on a sketchy/suspicious chinese third party windows software.

You could always… you know… buy either a “work-only” PC (something like a Orange pi 5 max) or a “Windows PC” to play these games?

t. Got three “computers” with different functions and I’m about to have a 4th one.

“Oh, look! One(1) game has been busted by the devs themselves and because of that, Linux gaming is dead as ever!”

lmao what

You are absolutely right.

Anyways, the idea is to mimic the ytsearch1: feature but for invidious – search for a video id based on its title, drop id on an invidious stance, and play it. I’ve got half of it.

Forgot to mention that live streams play just fine as well, but only if played directly on youtube.

It could be (pretty much) any distro you want – considering scripts like armbian-gaming exists and can give you a “one stop shop” experience.

Why running scripts like these instead of downloading the “real thing”? When you have “obscure”/unsupported sbcs and you need to “make your own” version of it.

-EDIT- Nvm that, I’ve tested several methods to make this work and none of em worked as I was expecting – a ramdisk with zstd compression.

Oh well.

Well, then – how about making the NPU process zram workloads (only)? I’d even ask “how about making it behave like a GPU instead of a NPU” but eh, I don’t think it’d top or even have a similar performance than… any GPU available in the market?

why you would want to do that.

Because apparently everyone and their mother wants to stick a NPU on every PC, and I’m not planning on using AI ever, so… why not give it another purpose instead of letting it collect dust?

-EDIT- Oh, how about making the NPU behave like a CPU but it (only) process “low-process-demanding” applications like video editors, window managers, etc? If anything, freeing up a few extra %'s might be a good idea for a few PCs.

Yep, using “WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 $command” worked in my case. Thank you very much.
