Running the CPU and GPU at ~75% and 98% on Cyberpunk 2077 and keeping it at 65ºC is quite a feat, ngl

    Being 9060xt based is the main bonus over the Steam Machine. It's a good bump over the 7600

    But also starts at €1,089.00. And it's to be seen how well the company will support the operating system and software over the years. This is something where Valve is a prime example how to handle it. But it's nice to have alternatives, if it is well supported in the future. I'm also curious how the operating system stacks up against SteamOS and the other community driven projects.

    On the thumbnail it looks like Xbox Series S to me.

    Not to say that is bad thing - I like the design.

    "Nix" in this context likely comes from Unix, the operating system that GNU/Linux sought to replace. Unix still has cultural significance within the Linux community, so I think it's a much more likely explanation than naming it after Nix/NixOS.

    I'm confused, was your comment meant to be sarcastic? It didn't read that way to me at all. If not, then I don't get the "Captain Obvious" reply, as I simply answered the implied question that was the foundation of your comment ("Why is it named 'PlayNixOS' if it isn't based on Nix/NixOS?"). Your comment did not indicate to me that this was knowledge you already had, so I don't see a point in calling me out on it. There are plenty of people using a Linux-based operating system that don't know the history of it, so I can't simply assume every commenter has that knowledge.

    Interesting.

    Is this dragoonDorise's work? I interviewed them a few years back, and chatted again a couple weeks ago, hoping to write a feature article on the hardware, but that was a no-go.

    They were interested in having me write an article on the EmuDeck Android app, but then just kinda ghosted me

    Looks more like a cooking stove than a gaming console. Or does it run hot enough to fry eggs on it?
