I wanted to jump back in here to remind everyone to direct their anger at the Big Corporations & AI Companies for doing this to gamers & consumers.

I'd add the current american administration to that list, exactly for the reason you mentionned : "if you listen to what they say" on the matter. This and the old addage: "Follow the money". They poured billions of tax payers money in Micron. It usually comes with conditions, yet here we are... I don't believe in coincidence.

They even tried to pass laws to block states from hindering this AI scam.

Knowing that memory is nearly everywhere, I'm worried about inflation if this AI scam doesn't settle quickly. Think about TVs, cars, even the production chains of the bread we eat... Who will be able to pay for this AI stuff? The ultra-rich?

A world built we the tax payer's money where he/she is not invited.

On Friends Per Seconds, PL Griffais said that a Steam Machine Pro could be something they will consider.

OMV had a huge overhaul with version 7. Much better than V5. This said, I'm not saying you should drop Proxmox. Can't go wrong with that.

I'm using OpenMediaVault on a 4-bay Dell PowerEdge R430 that I bought refurb. It's Debian based and founded by the same guy that started Freenas, so I read. Pretty neat.

Nice web interface. It has lots of plugins easy to setup like NUTS to manage a UPS and do a clean shutdown when the electric grid goes down.

Dockers is also supported (integrated to the web interface via a plugin). I run a Plex server and a Nextcloud instance, thus.

I know there are other as valuable solutions, but OMV should not be overlooked, imo.

Oh! And I just tought about the fact that the Steam Frame, with FEX, could become the development basis for an Arm based Steam Deck 2. Who knows?

All this got me wondering... Totally aware I'm probably off the mark, because things have probably changed, since then, but some years ago, I was an active World of Tanks player. I was using PlayOnLinux and cheating didn't seem much of an issue. I may be wrong about that, though... This said, what Anti-cheat Wargaming is/were they using? Fairplay, if I understand correctly? It's not kernel level AC? Is it an homemade solution?

Hearing the overall discourse about AC, It feels like EAC and Battleye are the only viable solutions, for Linux support... Why such a focus around these two systems?

Yep! Nothing stops Valve from doing a "Steam Machine Pro". Imo, the "fixed hardware configuration" is adressed by the Steam Deck.

Personnally, I have a 4k tv and still play in 1080p. From 10feet away, I hardly see the difference. Unless you have a 70inch display in your living room, which I don't because I don't have enough space, 4k, just like RT, is pretty overrated, imo.

Edit: Thinking about this, I'd choose 144hz before 4k.

I wish it was actually called the 'gabecube' lol, gamecube was the first thing I thought of when I saw the reveal

Gabecube! Lol!

This said my first reaction was: "Now it really looks like a Steambox".
