I actually keep an old used smartphone for just these sorts of things.

I am planning on getting a small tablet to handle this. But, that will be a problem for a much richer MXX53.

This is the only way I would upgrade my shipment 2 steam deck. At current prices, the OLED is a great deal, just not quite a compelling enough upgrade for me to pull the trigger.

If not this, then I will be eagerly waiting for whatever the true second gen steam deck will be.

I started on gnome. Used gnome for most of my linux life. However, after some memory and performance issues, I decided to try KDE. That was about 3 years ago and everything that handles it well and I use a GUI with has been moved to KDE.

I will check that out. Thanks!

I am unsure if the specs bear this out, but my personal experience has been that RDP's compression and encoding leads to much smoother interactions with the remote machine, especially when there are a lot of windows or visuals on screen. My bandwidth utilization has been lower on VNC.

Using RDP I also meet CMMC guidelines, which is probably doable with VNC, but not as easily or without some additional work on my end to prove compliance. It's also easier to convince my clients to allow me to work off-site using RDP as a trusted secure protocol. Less headache.

It's been so long since I used windows at home. I switched in 2009.

I use it at work, so I would say RDP is probably my favorite feature I would miss at home. But for the most part I use ssh anyways.

I have some RHEL machines at work. They are used as VM hosts for windows VMs (CAD software). I set them up, but I also have a huge list of other apps and servers that I manage,develop and support, and so the person that wanted these mahines wanted professional services as an option if I am out or busy with other projects. Plus it allows us to offload liability for security if need be, whereas when I do it, there is anyone else to blame, legally speaking. ( Although so far we have not had a breach on my watch knocks on wood )

I just use fedora at home, I find the they are about the same and I personally wouldn't pay for the additional services. The package manager is different, but that's about it.

I have a Q2 2022 model. I don't have any hard data, but it feels about the same to me.

Fedora 41 KDE at home on my daily driver laptop and desktop.

Antix on my dell mini netbook.

Multi machine VMs I manage at work run on red hat enterprise with no DE or WM.

My web app servers at work run Ubuntu server 24 LTS with no DE or WM.

My home lab runs on fedora 41 server, no DE or WM.

I have a folder for my projects on root and within those projects I have my GitHub repos all contained within their own directory named the same as the project.

If I am learning something, I have a folder for the topic I am learning, and a logseq file with all of my notes. Then I have folders for my book references, one for video or audio references, and then a folder for my practice projects.

That all makes sense. I would for sure be unhappy if I had to sue it for more than just remote connections.

 

Hey all,

A while back I made a post requesting any information about emulating games on the Tensor chips from google.

Just recently I broke down and bought the pixel 7.

I will likely be doing some gaming and reporting back here what I find. I will try and aim for the harder to emulate of each of the big console generations that are currently well supported on android.

With that all being said, are there any here that would like any games tested on the pixel line? I have an extensive physical retro game library and have the means to rip the roms from any of them.

 

I am currently a primary iPhone user, however I am planning a return to android in the next year. I always use custom Roms and lately it feels like I will be moving to GrapheneOS which will require me to move to a pixel phone. I have used a pixel in the past with GrapheneOS on a pixel 4a, but I have yet to use a non snapdragon variant.

I know historically, at least it seems, that Adreno tends to get the most development of emulation geared towards it, specifically on the high end. But, does anyone here have experience using Mali on higher end emulators. I see yuzu has added support recently, but I usually stick too my steam deck for Yuzu. Generally I would be curious about AetherSX2 performance, but any level of insight is greatly appreciated!

Either way I will being going with it, so I suppose I can follow up here with my testing and compare it, relatively poorly, to the SD 8gen1 in my tab s8 ultra.
