I'd say it has a 2200-2400G on board with some customization since its probably not a socket based APU and a heat-pipe slapped on top. It would probably make for a good buy if that's the case but we will need to wait until someone cracks it open to see.

A BGA version of those APU's would probably reduce the price a decent amount to make such a console feasible. I don't think you will be playing many titles at 4k 60fps, except for retro ones.

Its rather ironic.

Looks interesting, thought it looks like you don't really have crew, or can move around like crew. I think that is one of the things that made Sea of Thieves so enticing and popular but that game had a content depth issue.

I would like them to release linux version of GoG Galaxy so we can keep our game up to date easier, and have a launcher. Sometimes I return to a game on the gog website and find there is no longer a upgrade path and I need to download it all again, that wouldn't happen with the app.

Hows the GPU power compared to the Tegra1 and 2 chips I wonder? Is Vega 8 1TFLOP iGPU?

Quoting: TheRiddickEither way, it's a shame that you're having issues with it.

Some of the issues could be worked around while others couldn't. For example Warthunder wasn't the only app that didn't detect resolution correctly in launcher, Tomb Raider also had a issue, but its main problem was it does not like kwin either and the mouse LOCKS up when panning view (this is a old kwin issue that never got fixed, I confirmed with feral about this).

I also had a issue where I needed to disable my second monitor for my wine dxvk applications to correctly set to monitor 1 (I tried many things), even if I did get the game to load up at 4k in the correct monitor often you'd get the mouse showing up on the second monitor.

The issues were numerous and there were some work around's that sort of worked, but it was too much of a headache in the end. I do like the customization and feel of KDE, if I ever get a 1080ti killer AMD card in the future I'll probably switch back (very easy to do under arch+manjaro, basically just a package/script install away)

I seem to change distro's every 6 months.
Its mostly because of not fully understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each one. Plus if you change from AMD to NVIDIA etc then that can drastically change which desktop environment you use, which normally I just change to a more flexible distro.

I have tried plenty of Ubuntu/Debian based dists, OpenSUSE, ARCH. ATM I have settled on Manjaro MATE because it doesn't crash stuff all the time and its easier to maintain my WINE/DXVK experimentation. Plus NVIDIA cards work well with it, KDE/Kwin was a nightmare for that!

Quoting: SpaceAceNo problems here with my 1070ti on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed KDE

Probably because you don't play or do the stuff I do, also you may not be using multi monitor setup. I can tell you one example of Kwin failure, load warthunder, get it to select 4k, have fun. (there are oodles of examples but that is just a easy one).

I've since moved back from a Ubuntu KDE setup to Manjaro MATE, no regrets. The only annoyance is some things can take quite a long time to compile, such as compilers themselves.

KDE is nicer an easier to customize absolutely, but kwin hates nvidia cards and I was running into too many headaches with applications unable to detect my displays correctly etc... shame.

In early access period you can't expect much these days, lots of people have been burnt so low sales for a small developer is not surprising.

I've been burnt at least twice with early access myself.

I think most of these would run happily under wine. 90% off old games, 8minutes left, LMAO
