Realistically, what should be expected if I run this in my desktop with AMD 9000x CPU and a NVIDIA RTX 5000x GPU?

#12A very fine sense of timing to release this one year after KDE 6.4 was released! https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.4.0/ . Here in 2026, KDE 6.7 just dropped. I'm still super excited for this release. KDE 6.4.3 from 6.2.5 is a nice jump. I'm very excited to get Wayland here, which is my normal baseline. Maybe this time I'll try to get Niri running on this desktop. This is one of my daily driver systems, with a…
I'd kill for KDE 6.4 crying in my work laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 with Plasma 5.27 :)
Are you not permitted to bump to current LTS on work laptop?

#13Very cool. As a Linux Mint user, I'm starting to get interested in SteamOS. So maybe someone with experience can answer my question: How good is SteamOS as a general distro for a desktop machine? What are the Pros and Cons?
It's good if you use Distrobox and it comes with it.
Thank you so much! For some reason, I didn't even know about Distrobox!

I installed Antigravity with Codex in Distrobox Ubuntu. The Agents happily use sudo without care that it is a container. It's great when I run random scripts from the web that I don't even know how to uninstall and never worry about gunking up the main system.

Use CachyOS or Bazzite instead.

#19It's always great to hear about linux in gaming.
It's sad that they decide to increase the price for steam deck (even if I have one already). Hope it doesn't mean steam machine will cost 1000+.

#20i’d love to see blackmagic jump in with steamos as their main distro. i think they build for rockyos currently but… if they jump to building davinci resolve (and its new lightroom style photo editing) on steamos rather than rocky.. this would be pretty powerful combine the insane wonders steamos is doing for gaming on linux and add davinci, that would really open up the linux landscape for a ton more people. i’m curr…
davinci resolve is available on the aur
