They renamed the OS a while ago at this point, but the user agent isn’t always updated.

Ex on iPhone the user agent is Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 18_7 like Mac OS X)…

When people talk about “desktop” market share they’re essentially saying “not phones/tablets”

That’s what I thought, but bazzite didn’t like the switch from Nvidia to AMD either so idk what’s going on with these distros.

I really like my job. Most of the time it’s not super stressful. I basically made my hobby my job. I don’t do it as much as a hobby anymore, but it’s not like I hate it. I just have a lower tolerance for BS.

This is an ebook reader. You don’t need high refresh rate to read books. It’s a waste of power and money.

I have a 9800x3d and with an NH-D15 g2 cooler it peaks in temp in like the low 80s. At work we have two 9950x3d machines with 120mm coolers and I dont think those even hit 80c under load. Most of the time they’re in the 60s unless you’re going balls out to stress test them.

Amds 7000 series CPUs are designed to run at 95c and try to boost clocks until they do.

Laptops have been doing this for over a decade at this point.

Smart watches.

It’s like a 300 watt unit, basically none as long as there’s cooling (which there is)

The first two don’t even exist yet. They’re crowdfunding campaigns.

I guess whatever distro uses the least resources.

The power difference is going to be negligible though. Unless you’re running a pentium 4 and all you do is boot the OS, check mail, then shut it down you’d never notice a difference. As soon as you open a web browser any savings goes out the window. The web will destroy any savings a distro has.

Also performant doesn’t necessarily mean more efficient. It could mean it better utilizes the hardware, but because it’s using more of the hardware it’s using more power.

As long as you’re not running something that gets the CPU going crazy I doubt you’d suck in any I Dirt.

When’s valve shipping them? Have they even given an eta yet?

It’s not always accessible. Not all tables have built in outlets in spots that’d reach where I need to be.

Meetings. Have you never had a day where you’re constantly bouncing between meetings, or helping others?

I don’t know about you. But when I get home my work laptop stays in my backpack, and I don’t think about it. I need a laptop with enough battery life that I can get into work the next day and get through a 4 hour meeting without worrying if it’s going to die regardless of what I was doing the previous day.

Microsoft confirmed your computer will boot just fine, it’s just that secure boot is effectively off.

It’s no different from like 80% of Linux distros that don’t support secure boot at all. Except for those you have to actually manually disable secure boot to boot.

But do they have the same performance per watt under real life workloads?

Intel CPUs are great at 100% idle, and 100% load. Anything less than that and they tend to fall on their face.

My 12th Gen. Intel laptop gets about 4 hours of battery life just doing Remote Desktop. Going full tilt it’s fairly efficient. At 100% idle it can be good. But a simple task that keeps the CPU lightly busy and it falls on its face.

It’s not 12-14 hours of straight working. It’s 12-14 hours without charging. Sometimes it’s just not convenient. Do you always go home from work and remember to charge your laptop? Never forgetting, consistently every day doing this?

Plus thanks to S0 standby using so much power just the laptop being in sleep is a decent battery drain.

Economies of scale. How many people actually want to buy this?
