What would be the meaning of that? I have a Beelink with N100 for more than a year and HW acceleration works already (I use it in Jellyfin), so I wonder what do you mean that "intel gpu support" would mean.

What OS are you running? I’m running Debian 12 Stable and can’t get nvtop to detect it. Searching I found this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/MiniPCs/comments/1htxoi6/beelink_mi... Did you add backports or recompile? I think N100 may be supported by stable but not N150.

But they are talking about beelink s13 with the intel N150.

N100 has been there for a while longer and I've seen guides in the internet for a long time with no specific requirements.

I'm running ubuntu 24.04 with nothing extra, runs out-of-the-box (assuming that if it's a VM, you properly do the card's PCI passthrough).

I tested nvtop and it works, it shows GPU% usage when I start a movie in jellyfin and change the quality to force trascoding.

I really regret the proliferation of terms like "toxic" to describe things as benign as this. I think it's literally recoloring people's perception of what bad communication actually looks like.

You brought the word up, not me. The tiles are simple - avoid character attacks, and don’t be passive aggressive. Be direct and firm. Otherwise people will go off topic and take whatever meaning they want (like I did with Linus’) comment and you did the same with the word toxic, which you introduced

I am okay with using it to describe things as "toxic" when they are, but there's a reason I still used scare quotes.

They give a couple hoots, otherwise Gamepass would be on Linux

Gamepass is on Linux. They literally have a tutorial on how to get it to run on your Steam Deck. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/xbox-cloud-gaming-...

That's cloud gaming, not games run locally

So it's early Monday morning (well - early for me, I'm not really a morning person), and I'd love to have some good excuse for why I didn't do the 6.14 release yesterday on my regular Sunday afternoon release schedule. I'd like to say that some important last-minute thing came up and delayed things. But no. It's just pure incompetence. Because absolutely nothing last-minute happened yesterday, and I was just clearing…

That’s usually how people like that are. They hold others to high standards because they hold themselves to high standards.

Your point was that Microsoft "gives a couple of hoots" about which platform Gamepass is on, implying that they specifically care about making Gamepass not accessible on Linux. Them having a guide for Gamepass access on Linux proves the opposite.

But you're just nitpicking looking for an argument. So, goodbye.
