This post seems confusing without additional details. Maybe you can expand on what are the tasks that will make use of that kind of processing power. What are your performance priorities?
Based on your current description, I don’t see anything that will stress even a 10 year old CPU.
Also, what uses would you have for an egpu other than basic hardware acceleration? Gaming, A.I, etc…
If you just want to cover your bases, almost any high end x670 board will do the job.
Absolutely this. It is becoming increasingly rare to find a game that doesn’t work in linux (excluding stupid copy protection/anti-cheat implementations). We haven’t reached the works-out-of-the-box stage but the combination of proton-ge/wine-ge with lutris or heroic provides a solid alternative to games not on steam.

You’re right in that over the long term, a PC gamer will probably end up spending less on their hobby. But for someone starting from scratch and trying to decide on a path, the console remains the cheaper and easier platform to jump into.
I don’t see where I mentioned optimization but I am curious and maybe you can elaborate further on what I’m guessing are probably the differences between game patch optimizations vs driver level optimizations?
Not sure I agree the premise of the article. Sales are going to be down when there are fewer AAA releases to drive hardware sales. It’s taking longer and longer to develop those games and the budget required no longer justifies console exclusivity.
I think 2025 will be the real measure of console strength when the big releases are scheduled to come out.
First point is more true today than it was in the past. It is impossible to build a gaming pc for $400-500 that is capable of playing most modern games at high settings (without RT) and play at 60 fps. The gpu capable of doing that is around $300 by itself.
I think the longevity of consoles also plays a large part in their appeal. Knowing you can use the system to play at consistent performance levels for 7-8 years is a comforting thought.
For the PC side, I’m not sure about your point about drivers. Nvidia/AMD/Intel regularly release day 1 drivers to improve compatibility with new games.
I’m sure people have but my guess is they’re more likely to be bluesky people instead of lemmy people.

Not to diminish the severity of the issue but I can’t imagine this being the factor that pushes the average person to ios over android.
If it’s something you’re really worried about, maybe something like https://github.com/NHAS/wag will help along with your secure totp app.
After having tried what seems like every available desktop rss frontend, I just settled on the freshrss mapco theme with the landscape thumbnail and dark mode via dark reader instead of the built in option.
For the article loading issues, I’d recommend full-text-rss.
Troubleshooting can be difficult. I’ll only say you’ll save yourself alot of time and energy by establishing a baseline for power usage with just the essential components necessary for boot to see what you’re working with. Then you can make better informed decisions.
Monitor CPU usage and frequencies to ensure CPU is throttling down properly. Then start unplugging hard drives, ram, nic cable to see how they affect power usage. Servethehome shows an N305 idling around 10w in a minipc without HDDs.
It complements the arrs. You can request shows and movies in seer and it adds it in the arrs.

Yup, based on overseer. It’s a great selfhosted way to see what’s new and popular.

Hard to go wrong with the Asrock Taichi that Wendell from Level1Techs is also a fan of. Looks like memory will be your limiting factor and with VMs being part of the equation, 128gb seems like a good idea.
I am curious how well adobe software can use a dgpu in a vm. I understand things have gotten much better for gaming and maybe that’ll translate into other gpu intensive tasks.
