  • Sure, but the wii’s coprocessor’s os was also unix/bsd based and that was nowhere near pc hardware. Actually, a few embedded devices (cheap routers, cheap toys,… ) use bsd (while they should run linux hehe) and are nowhere near pc architecture :p.

    What makes a pc a pc is the actual hardware layout, hardware connections internally and how it boots. Im looking deep into ps4 and i can see why people call it a pc, but its a huge misnomer. If a ps4 is a pc, a raspberry pi( or any random sbc ) is also a pc because it has a usb or sata controller, cpu and pci bus while it has no pch/fch, no pc bios (which i can accept to not be relevant) or any of the pc hardware you cant think off ( spoiler, its a lot more ).

    Hell, pc’s dont even have a southbridge anymore. We have the pch which is directly connected to the cpu over a bus that is nowhere near the old northbridge/southbridge design…


















  • The problem is they are using ubuntu 24.04 which runs on an older kernel by default. Im a mainline user so unsure which kernel ubuntu uses now but i think its 6.4 which lacks a lot of intel driver fixes and support for battlemage. I cant blame them for not knowing or specifying, the only person knowledgeable for this is wendel and his team (level1techs).
    Outside of mainline, ubuntu has a 6.14 kernel build they support but you have to actively look for it in the ui.
    It is however, a sign for me that ltt is not suited for this and should have waited and investigated more before posting. Or maybe asked external help to verify stuff idk
