When you say you couldn’t install it, how do you mean?

Did you install by package, or by running the Nvidia installer? Did you get errors, or it just didn’t work afterward?

Edit: I didn’t even think, but I bet you may have just tried to install the latest Nvidia drivers, which don’t support a card as old as yours. Good solutions here: https://www.stevestreeting.com/2026/01/26/linux-mint-22.3-on-an-old-macbook-pro-nvidia-gpu/

Your GPU isn’t getting engaged because you either have to install the proprietary Nvidia driver, or if it is already installed, you need to use the utilities to switch over to the GT from the embedded.

It’s not video memory, it’s system memory. Post the output of free -m

I can’t tell where you’re getting this message from, but kernel logs would mention “OOMKill”, so I’m assuming this isn’t from the kernel itself, but another monitor logging it and reporting on it perhaps.

Create extra swap and that will help prevent this.

If you’re talking about companies, safety, SLA/SLO agreements, security, lack of admin overhead…lots of reasons.

Lots of companies and projects are leaving GitHub because of the Copilot being shoved down everyone’s throats though.

If you just want the machine to do something only WHEN it detects the TV, that’s a bit different. You want an HDMI or DP switcher. You can just make a tiny listener for DBUS events that launches BPM when it detects the TV coming online.

Simple bash script set to run once your DE is loaded would do it. Detect the TV with xrandr or equivalent, then start Steam in BPM. If not, do nothing.

What in the fuck is this clickbait nonsense…

Jesus Christ 🤦

They are simply making a new spin for AI developers. Stop trying to sensationalize this boring ass shit.

They’re discussing a new spin specifically for AI developers, not changing existing distros to include new stuff.

CTFD

I don’t want to be this person, but it really matters in this sentence. You want to use: “you’re” instead of “your”

Yet none of this will reduce Fuckerberg’s cash pile. We need to take that back.

Clop Slop

Also, possibly an STI? “They got the Clop Slop!”

Edit: Actually, I think just “Clop” works

MacOS, phones, off-brand handhelds that run SteamOS…that’s the goal.

It’s not going to be effortless. That’s not really the goal. Anything that uses Google Play Services is going to be a problem still as the underlying service layer just mocks out those API calls a la Waydroid. They’re working more on the FEX stuff from what I’ve seen in the repos.

Having the disks connected externally is the same as having them connected internally

No, it 1000% is not, especially in the case of USB that I used. Even in the way Linux handles everything as a file and target, it is vastly different.

No RAID solution I know of would lose the array on a power outage

Hardware RAID enclosures have batteries on the disk controllers for this very reason. We aren’t talking about those though, we’re talking about software RAID on JBOD, which wouldn’t have those sanity protections. Here’s some random blog explaining deeper.

Honestly I don’t see how interrupt handling would be any different between internally or externally connected devives, except for different buses/protocols handling it differently intrinsicly

See above

Maybe I’m too spolied by using ZFS, but again I don’t think this would actually be a problem

That’s a filesystem solution to a hardware problem, so yes, probably a bit spoiled there, or at least it’s skewing your understanding of what RAID is and how it works. One of the reasons ZFS exists, actually. It’s nice to have nice things though.

Well…don’t overspeak. There WILL eventually be something better, and then people will complain about that as well 🤣

You just installed or touched other packages that created those directories. Nothing weird about it.

Also software. Literally in the description and options.

There are very few use cases for hardware controllers anymore, and they are on SAN controllers at a massive scale. Every single device you point me to at under $50k is going to be software.

Just wanted to clarify so you understand.
