    New RISC-V microprocessor can run CPU, GPU, and NPU workloads simultaneously

    What you have here doesn't make sense. Who is developing their own ISA? RISC-V is the ISA. The core architecture is what changes and isn't licensed.

    New ZenHammer memory attack impacts AMD Zen CPUs

    If an exploit is only on two architectures by default without much funding and you spend a large amount of effort targeting a more resilient architecture at some point it becomes more of a tech demo. Reverse engineering anything takes A LOT of resources more than your average hacker. So yeah...

    Global sales of XBox are so bad developers wonder if supporting the console is worth it for them

    Please don't give Microsoft any ideas. I'm loving Valve's attention to Linux.

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    They have videos of it running on Steam Deck. Once I saw that I was pretty sure it was going to work. You also have a pretty non-standard distro so your mileage will vary.

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    This is what happens if I alt+tab. https://streamable.com/asi55n Here's Battlenet. All of this is out of the box behavior I haven't changed or tweaked anything. Just install and go like Windows. I mean for Proton I just made sure it wasn't set to experimental for BattleNet. That was the extent...

    Unpatchable vulnerability in Apple chip leaks secret encryption keys

    People won't accept that most of the prefetch tricks have already been tried already. We are long past the Pentium / Athlon days. Most of the easy stuff has been done. Heterogeneous computing will likely be the next phase where we once again move to specialized units within APUs just stacked...

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    Of course it doesn't. But it also doesn't change the fact that Wayland and KDE is buggy meanwhile in Gnome it's not, which is part of the reason why your experience and mine are so different. Most people are going to use the WM that's the default of the DE.

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    It's not on Steam. You can use Steam and it's libraries to install software. So you download regular Battle.net. You then pick Add a Game in the lower left corner of Steam. Then you right click on the application. Go to compatibility then force use of Proton (its a fork of Wine).

    Yikes. Battlenet. Try installing it to Steam and then using Proton on it. Much easier.

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    KDE's Wayland support has lagged Gnome by quite a bit for quite some time. It's been garbage but that's not Wayland that's KDE and Plasma. It was slower than Gnome for eons until just recently. So of course you had issues you've got the holy trinity of having a bad time right there. KDE's broken...

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    This is why Linux adoption suffers. Some people will tell others that whatever DE they are running is super stable and easy to use when it's not. So then they end up in forums talking about command line crap when they wouldn't otherwise. You get to see this here in real time.

    Wayland on AMD is damn dream. I moved my nvidia card to the HTPC/Family Gaming Room and took the AMD card and put it on my office computer since I primarily run Linux there.

    Oh God MIR :facepalm:.

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time

    KDE is doing better job now. But there's something about Gnome's simplistic but polished mantra that I find wonderful in Fedora. I get bleeding edge Gnome 3 updates but real stability that I find lacking in Ubuntu. Ubuntu focuses less on the DE and more on services that compliment the...

It's not like they can switch all to AMD or all to Intel so they pit them against each other for pricing / marketing reasons. I'm really not going to care...
