Quoting: EikeWell, at least we have the 99th "retro inspired" whatever, don't we? :'(

Yeah, but this one's probably 'inspired by' such retro titles as this: https://youtu.be/-Bd1tKfPr6s [External Link]

Quoting: Xpander

Quoting: KallestofelesThe developer behind DXVK probably has a ton of great job offers in his mailbox already I imagine. :P ^_^

im quite sure he is already hired, if not he is just insane :) working 24/7 on it. commits every day, active in the github issues and in discord. Can't be that he is doing this all just for fun :)

Wasn't there some speculation that they're employed by Valve, or AMD, or somesuch?

Quoting: MayeulCI' ve done such setups in the past, it works quite well: PXE serves the kernel (&initramfs) trough tftp, the root filesystem is mounted trough NFS.

Thanks, this gives me something to go on.

Quoting: tuubiI can be a dick, but (hopefully) only to people who know my twisted sense of humour and take it as a joke.

The guy in this video, on the other hand, is a dick indiscriminately:

I wonder where they bought their assets from.

Quoting: devnullIt's more common then you think. There's a reason NVIDIA actively tries to prevent such installs.

Why would they care enough to do that? Do you mean that they don't actively support them?

IIRC, nvidia supports that feature only on their 'pro' models (the Quadro, etc.). The reason why it takes a convoluted hack is that consumer models hide the necessary info, which is by design on nvidia's part.

Quoting: wvstolzingSorry about the wildly off-topic post, though. Slightly more on topic: 'cyber cafe's were huge in Turkey in the early 00s; I had Starcraft-addicted cousins who practically lived in those places. They're all but extinct nowadays though.

Your cousins are all but extinct? Condolences, my dear chap!

Thanks, I appreciate it. Not many people understand that when I say 'early 00s', I mean 'early Cretaceous (late Mesozoic)'. Here's a group picture we had taken, back in happier days:



I'm on the far left... The only one who survived. :'(

Quoting: tonRYes PXE, most of big cyber cafe (50++ PCs) use this system. Easy to maintain. But, if BSOD..... :'( Good luck to employees. :D

FYI: Some of my friends worked/working in cyber cafe. That's why I know some 'stories'.

Can you boot into a full desktop environment with that? I thought PXE boot did just enough to get a barebones boot image from a TFTP server, only to start an install on the local system. Just to try it out, I once installed Fedora on my laptop with a setup like that (PXE boot into tiny installer over TFTP, download everything else over http from a Fedora mirror), and I thought it was neat -- but booting into a complete system, and *using it* like that would be considerably neat-er!

I'm curious because I eventually want to set up a couple of thin clients around the house, connected to my main desktop, once my other ancient computers kick the bucket entirely. So far I've tried multiseat (which is pretty trivial to set up thanks to systemd), though that's limited to the number of graphics outputs one has; VNC works ok with a bit of pulseaudio twiddling to get accompanying audio, but it's really slow.

...a quick google search suggests that even Raspberry Pi 3s are capable of this. hmmm...

The comments section on their kickstarter page is still a dumpster fire. I obviously understand backers' frustration, but for some people, excoriating the devs appears to have become an end in itself. Maybe they should calm down a little -- NDS is acknowledging the fact that they've f*cked up, and they seem to be making a genuine effort to make everything right.

As to 'looking good', I just took a peek at the website after quite some time; the new Gazelle sure looks quite a bit better than the ~5 year old model I have (gazp9). I'm curious how it feels under one's fingers, though. More sturdy, hopefully.

... and the movie is 'amusing' alright ... (I guess from the way she comports herself, she won't be satisfied at anything less than xmonad running on top of LFS.)

(Speaking of the Gazelle -- now there's space only for one 2.5" drive; on the other hand the mSATA port seems to have been replaced by an M.2 (SATA, I suppose?) port. I wasn't too happy with my Samsung 840 mSATA drive in that slot [awful heat dissipation; slowdown as a result of thermal throttling]; so this is probably an improvement.)
