There is an open source project that already does this a bit called box86 and box64.

I think you can find videos of people running Skyrim on arm chips like phones or maybe raspberry pi 5.

They don’t run well, but with more powerful chips and valves experience and money, I’m sure they can do it.

If Google search to see if is a Linux thing. Sometimes streaming sites limit resolution on Linux for some reason.

I think its really cool, its just a step closer to have just one device for everything.

I’d love to fold it up and use it as a phone. Unfold it and use it as a tablet when I’m just browsing the web and then connect it to a man role or keyboard and mouse and use it as my “laptop” or desktop.

I have a steam deck for gaming, I don’t really need an entire separate computer for work.

But a device like this should offer a full desktop experience and not some locked down mobile thing.

Does the s20 still get software updates?

I’m genuinely asking as I need to get a secondhand phone for work stuff, but want to make sure I have security updates. Also, Dex seems super cool.

Let me know if I don’t know enough about what you are talking about, but I think your saying to use qemu to o run windows.

This is about running x86 code on arm processors, like what Apple does with Rosetta.

Is this why Apple is finally going to increase the base amount of ram in their laptops😂

I had it on some games a lot, but there was a steamos update that addressed this a while back and it mostly fixed the issue. Now if I get static, it usually goes away after a few seconds or after I sleep and wake again. It’s also much more rare to happen.

I think you can use the d-pad to do input the codes. But I am not 100% sure of that. it might be for a different version of the game.

But you can but a Dell with Linux on it instead of windows.

I’m not sure how true this is, but I read somewhere that when Mac got above 5% market share, it suddenly got a lot more mainstream support.

I wonder if that means we’re are a year or two away from Linux as a mainstream option.

I’d love to have an arm based Linux laptop with software support for one of my critical work apps.

That’s really true. I agree 100% Valve is playing the long game and is really doing a great job bringing Linux to the average user.

It’s too bad you’re having trouble with it. I’ve had almost 0 trouble with the dock. There was one instance where I couldn’t get video out, but it was fixed after restarting it twice.

Bg3 runs pretty good on it. There are some slowdowns, but it doesn’t really matter in this kind of game.

I got obsessed with that game, but kind of burnt out after I finished act 2.

I’m not surprised. The steamdeck is the only way that I game any longer. I think their approach to hardware upgrades not being frequent is a great idea. It lets devs have target hardware for the games to work on.

I couldn’t be happier with my steamdeck and will get the next one on day one.

I don’t think this is accurate. It says Apple is the leading phone where I live, but the large majority of people here are too poor for an iPhone. Plus you rarely see people with them outside the rich areas of the city.

I agree, that’s what I meant by full computer.

I think the tech is still kinda pricey, but imagine having a phone, table, and then full computer when docked to a keyboard and mouse in one device.

That’s the dream.

I’d even be happy with the phone/full computer combo.

I love my steam deck and it is blue the only machine I use to game. I even use it as my desktop computer when I plug it into my monitors with a usbc hub.

Is a pretty decent machine.

Depending on which virtual machine software you use, you might need to go onto the Linux even after you boot from it and run some programmer script to install drivers or something, but depends on which virtual machine software you use.

I actually need a separate phone just for business purposes, like messaging, emails, calls. A few productivity apps.

I like the long support window of pixels as I won’t have to replace the phone as frequently.

I really love the idea of the dex mode of the galaxy phones. I wish I could dock the pixel and use it as my main work device. It’s the only reason I’m not 100% sold on a pixel as my next device.
