• Is it possible for a PC to only run steam and steam games and nothing else?

  SteamOS exists but may limit the games that could be played since it's a Linux based OS. Steam itself also has a web browser so no matter the way you do it have to research how or if you can disable that. There's also ways you could clamp windows down a lot but that's a lot of work.

• So about SteamOS and ChimeraOS...

  I'm a bit confused about SteamOS. Is this the offical version for desktop devices? If so, why do people use ChimeraOS if there is already an offical version of it? Or is it not complete. Source: 6 months ago

• Install on Steam Deck?

  I know I could install Dungeondraft on my Steam Deck when running Windows, but is it possible to install Dungeondraft on my Steam Deck when in "Desktop Mode" of the SteamOS?

I've tried to research how much different Jessie is from Ubuntu, but I'm not having much luck. Source: 12 months ago

  Those other flashy distros like mint and ubuntus are designed with rich people with very fresh machines in mind, they don't care if you have an AMDx4 or core2duo or even 32bit older machine. Even Mint and ubuntu people will tell you, if you have an old machine with little ram, use antiX. It still works very well with machines not even released yet, buy one in May 2024 and I "guaranty you" antiX will run fine. ... Source: 5 months ago

• Is there a way to naively replicate a VarHandle.getOpque with fences?

  The memory_order_relaxed explanation on the kernel.org documentation heavily implies (never explicitly) that the direct memory load is implicit in the barrier(so by preventing it's reordering we are also forcing a LOAD from main), and that THIS specific barrier (relaxed) is what we NEED for these type of scenarios, so I am not entirely sure if a loadLoadFence() would prevent the hoisting... Maybe it will prevent... Source: 7 months ago

• Have some confusion around the Ubuntu Kernel

  Are all versions of the kernel from kernel.org called mainline kernels or only 6.6-rc4 as shown in the picture? Source: 7 months ago
