@tshrinivasan Because like the huge variety of distros out there, choice is good. Other tools/sites may have different algorithms or considerations.

Are there any good alternatives to Distro Chooser these days? (https://distrochooser.de/en/)
Many years ago, I had also recommended LibreHunt.org, but it's no longer available.

@micah Are you documenting this somewhere? I'd love to read and share it.

@vwbusguy Yea, I'm equally curious about the entire Linux side of Snapdragon X. I have a Dell XPS 13 Copilot+ laptop here for testing...

@tamitha Yep, GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming should work fine.

I find it amusing that:
-Xbox Game Pass doesn't work on Windows Copilot+ PCs.

-Tech outlets are suggesting cloud gaming as the "solution" for gaming on these devices.

-Multiple Microsoft-developed games like Flight Simulator, Halo Infinite, and every single Forza title aren't even listed on the gaming section of the "Windows on ARM Ready" site.

3 short years ago, we were publishing headlines just celebrating that a game would even run on Linux. Now those games "just work" on an operating system they're not even developed for, and we're celebrating those games running BETTER on Linux than Windows.

Incredible.

@cupcakerob Hmm, perhaps a bug? The app is pretty fresh :/

"So my journey led me to Alpaca, which acts as a graphical frontend for Ollama. And if we drill down into what truly matters, it’s just easy to use."

@rogueren Awesome! Then mission accomplished.

@iod Yea, I thought that being on Beta would fix the Steam-managed scaling, but apparently not.

Not sure who needs to see this, but someone out there does:

Not everyone wants to read my Linux content at Forbes. So, read it ad-free on the new LinuxForEveryone.net! Here's article #1:

The site also includes a fairly comprehensive archive of my written Linux content from 2019 to 2022.

@jay Indeed! I'm starting to cover that space and can't wait: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2024/08/14/valve-makes-it-official-steamos-will-support-the-asus-rog-ally/

@element HAHAHA yes if your base of logic is Windows!

How and why does anyone put up with this nonsense? Seriously I need an answer to this.

This is exciting news, but don't forget that Valve operates on Valve Time™

Just got in these handsome Dell XPS 13s and am EAGERLY awaiting Qualcomm's continued Linux support in kernel 6.11. If anyone knows of a distro that supports Snapdragon X chips right now, please let me know!

In the meantime, I guess it's time to finally check out WSL...

@RyuKurisu @ubuntu Just the linux-surface kernel. Instructions are here: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface
