SteamOS-like Bazzite Linux has some nice growth thanks to great handheld PC support in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

You probably did but, there are two Nvidia entries. I'm assuming you downloaded the one under Modern GPUs because it makes sense for your main PC, but a GTX 970 would need the entry that is under Older/Legacy GPUs.

Correct, but that is why there are two different Nvidia images, bazzite-nvidia and bazzite-nvidia-open. OP just needs to use bazzite-nvidia for the older/legacy cards.

Would it be difficult for me to build a Linux equivalent to a Chromebook? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Since they said no gaming, Aurora would probably be better. Just a different distro under the same Universal Blue project that Bazzite is a part of.

Fair. I must've missed the others.

Does your instance not have the option to hide posts you've seen before? Should probably turn that on rather than complain.

Hypothetically, if some mysterious force started to jam every radio frequency, how would modern day society adapt to this? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] equivocal@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

They said every radio frequency not every electromagnetic frequency.

If they did, I'd imagine "jamming" gamma rays is going to have some side effects.

Most computers firmware can store a Windows executable. Microsoft pushed for an addition to the ACPI tables called WPBT. That stores a Windows exectuable in the firmware. It is of course totally used for the intended purpose...

If I were to speculate, they are waiting for the NVK (Open source NVIDIA driver) to be more mature. So, they wouldn't have to release two versions and wouldn't depend on NVIDIA to update their driver to work with software the Steam Deck uses. I.E. Steam Deck uses gamescope for everything outside of Desktop mode. NVIDIA's driver didn't work with it until 2 months after the Steam Deck release. Even though it had existed for years prior.

Do we know that for certain? Maybe they have the DNA but it isn't the resulting phenotype. I.E. There is nothing preventing two brunettes from having redheaded children.

Zelda 64: Recompiled in c/games@lemmy.world

This doesn't contain the game code either. It takes a user-supplied ROM and converts it to an executable. Nintendo do not own the code that performs the conversion.
