>With the reintroduction of the Steam Machine, DIY enthusiasts have been having fun making their own versions of Valve's console, often using standard PC components and Bazzite; a Fedora-based distro that resembles Valve's own SteamOS. However, this latest homebrewed Steam Machine creation is quite unique. Handheld/SFF enthusiast YouTube Channel ETA Prime showed off a DIY Steam machine setup using a mining blade that uses a B-grade PS5 SoC. The hardware being used for this setup is an ASRock BC-250 mining blade that takes advantage of a defective PS5 SoC with disabled bits. Specs consist of six Zen 2 cores with 12 threads, 24 RDNA 2 CUs, and 16GB of GDDR6 memory. Compared to the base PS5, which has eight Zen 2 cores and 36 CUs, the neutered counterpart in ASRock's mining board has 25% fewer cores and 33% fewer GPU cores.

It's a thought. I have built extremely customized Linux OS's and a full package pipeline. Though, there are a lot of groups out there doing it already. It would be better to focus time/effort's on something that is already established than to start something new.

But the focus is multi-fold. Move genz and gena users away from windows. Get them on Linux, make it easy, let them game. Then we have broken them from the kike operating system that windows is. Marketing would just be enough to get an article written, and some tictok posts or insta on the "new os to run steam, simple install, with this simple hack you can play games and not be dependent on windows an bill gate's genetic modifications on humanity"

Seems like that knida shit would explode.....but then again, I don't tickfuck, or instawhore, I can't to the slipstream install, so what could I do....

I'm an idea man dammit, I COME UP WITH THE IDEAS AND TAKE THEM TO THE ENGINNERS.

I have been trying to do this for decades man. I have taught (college level) *nix.

You don't need to preach to me. I get it. I also get your frustration at a deep level.

In the end, I still use windows garbage from time to time because of games. It is a over glorified game os now. Nothing more. (at least not to me). everything else, for the most part, *nix.

Right now I am building a pipeline to build a reproducible image (easy) for my RPi setup's that is heavily customized for what I do with them. Maybe ill upload it publicly at some point. I still have not brought my old websites back to life. Christmas project maybe?

As a after thought. Most of these people don't realize they are barely ever actually using Windows. Android and iOS are *nix based.

Most servers in the world are *nix based. The "future is mobile" crowd is using Linux without ever knowing they are. They don't give one fuck what is under the hood as long as it works.

All true...all True. As I fuck with proxmox today on a i5 4590t, 16gb/2tb for a test bed....
