Does the server have to run headless, or can one person still run games locally on it while another has a remote session? That is, would I be able to play on the monitor/mouse/keyboard directly attached, while my partner has a session on a laptop?

I didn’t before but now I am glad I did

requiring me to jiggle memory sticks or tighten CPU cooler screws

How much vibration is the computer subjected to? Do you live in a limestone quarry?

Very cool!

You might be surprised how little bandwidth you need. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/rdp-bandwidth

So I got that first part down, 100%. I didn’t read the rest, but I assume it all came together, and proved this is McCarthyism.

It’s depressing that no other devices are getting SteamOS yet, either as out-of-the-box or at least supported fully day one. Here is why I suspect we are watching it die a second time.

• Valve hasn’t released it standalone, which is probably making these manufacturers nervous
• If Valve is even offering it to the manufacturers, money is probably flowing one way or another, as professional service fees to Valve, or ransom demands from manufacturers entrenched with Windows
• Microsoft might still be doing their usual anticompetitive crap, offering incentives to keep SteamOS off of as many devices as possible

We are going to be held hostage on Windows for years to come because this is delaying the critical mass for adoption. Even though there are all the other viable community distros, we need the brand to keep things moving.

The article you are quoting is published by the state-run Turkish media agency, with numbers sourced from the Palestinian Health Ministry. I don’t think those are unbiased or trustworthy sources when considering how close they are to the conflict. Meanwhile, there have been over 9000 civilian deaths in Ukraine from the 2022 invasion according to multiple reliable sources, including the UN. Even if your source was reliable, your math is not.

Maybe everyone else is seeing something I am not, but what routing path is for internet traffic to “Future PC” and its neighbors? You have the ISP modem labeled as a passthru, which means it is not handling NAT/firewall. What device is binding to the WAN IP address that the passthru will be handing out? An unmanaged switch is not going to do that.
