  1. I loved your pre Steam Deck gaming on Linux challenge. I think you played dumb, but I do not care if you were GNU ignorant, I've been there I did that more or less. After the Steam Deck sells and survey and your prediction about most people using MS WOS on the Steam Deck my conclusions are: - You have to read before installing any OS (MS WOS included, and much more with SB and TPM, at least with Gigabyte and AMD). - And people (>95%) do not switch the preinstalled OS My SUGGESTIONS for follow up videos are: 1.- State of the "gaming on Linux" 2023 and each year, now using gaming distributions, such as Holo ISO or Garuda and one general use one to compare. 2.- State of the PCI pass trough , specially 1 GPU pass through, to work with li(G)NUx in general and MS WOS virtualized for special programs as AV editing - one day or week trial - 3.- The same but without AV edition 4.- The same using Li(G)NUx free and non free applications for AV 5.- Using the Steam Deck with 2 Tb SD docked for work (and game) for one week (with connection to an MS WOS machine over the network to upload games faster, with dual boot with MS WOS to play non-compatible games, and remote connection, VNC or better, to the MS WOS computer for AV editing or other software not available and not replaceable on Li(G)NUx). 6.- Perhaps give Linus kids(as he shows his house, and not showing them, just the father explaining the experience after) this hardware, Steam Deck,+ 2 Tb SD, Steam (or JSAUX) dock, Keyboard and Mouse, connected to the racked MS WOS machine for faster downloading. With options for being sponsored by SD, dock, cables (as Ugreen) - I do recommend adding a 2 m. USB c extension cable in order to use the Steam deck as a controller if you want to - , keyboard, and mouse. I think that being or playing dumb - or being a newbie - works for this kind of videos, as most people DO NOT READ MANUALS, or do not understand them, and solve troubles in advance is a great way of teaching while entertain. And as most people are using Li(G)NUx every day except for desktop use (internet services are Linux server based, even those provided by MS or Apple) because it is technically better, except for some incompatible desktop software, that not everybody needs, perhaps showing them that the best budget gaming PC for your kids now is a 400 USD Steam Deck, plus 1 or 2 Tb SD, a dock, a monitor or TV, HDMI or DP Ethernet and USB-C extension cables, keyboard, mouse and webcam, and if you need MS WOS, an SD card to install it on, or a VNC connection to your main or old desktop PC. would be a good video with a lot of vistis and some controversy. PS: My PSU failed, and I worked 1 week with the Steam Deck (nothing very hardware needy, (and I already use Manjaro KDE as my main system), and it is good enough. (I installed 1Tb SD) Until it will be changed or improved, I recommend booting the Steam Deck unplugged, setup it to desktop mode, and then plug it. Also configure desktop mode at 1080p with the external screen as primary and enabled ticked, and the Built-in screen non ticked. I also recommend to set up the menu bar to auto-hide, and add the console, settings, and your browsers (Vivaldi and Chrome in my case) to the menu bar or the desktop. In my case as researcher, I added Zotero, that I recommend even for non researchers as hyper good multiplatform FOSS bookmark and Okular as PDF reader and signer.
  2. I would love to see an LTT experiment video with passive GPU + CPU copper big pieces (8Lb /4 kg each), that would cost less than 100 USD, and probably will be cheaper in the long term, as they do not spend energy. And if your experiment is successful, you can design a case, or even a motherboard with PCI slots on their sides (to mount GPU and other PCI cards in parallel to the motherboard) to sell to enthusiasts of silent computers. I would gladly pay those 100 USD plus some 100 extra for a PC case to build my next silent PC. https://www.pcgamer.com/why-use-fans-when-you-can-cool-your-cpu-with-8-lbs-of-copper/
  3. I do think that if you film a Steam Deck How To QEMU-KVM pass-through with one GPU for other OSs as MS Windows OS video - with some git script -. you will have a lot of views, and not only the week you publish it. Also, I think that pass-through for one GPU when possible, is far better than dual boot for gaming, and ntfs inside virtual disks wastes less space. And if it is not possible yet, for the Steam Deck, explain it for other devices as it is tricky to let lignux without direct access to the gpu to assign the gpu to the hosted OS.
  4. As Linus said he is a hardware benchmarking freak - I am too - And that he is excited about Steam Deck benchmarks - I am too - I thought that a good way of watching how Linux drivers and proton performance evolve is to benchmark a selection of games in a similar hardware - Ryzen + RDNA2 - to see how drivers evolve. And with MS WOS 10 with antivirus enabled, as it is usual, and Arch or Manjaro without as it is usual too, my system with AMD Ryzen 3600 + Nvidia 750 Ti + 16Gb DDR4 and Samsumg 28" TN 4k@30Hz running at 1080p@60Hz 150% gets more or less the same FPS in both OSs with the same settings. And I have to use 720p in some AAA to get a 60 fps + experience. It seems that AMD video drivers are better for vulkan and worse for opengl than the NVIDIA ones. Publishing some videos about a near to Steam OS system vs MS WOS performance with AMD hardware would inform your audience that would buy Steam Decks if it would be worth it to install MS WOS instead of the Steam OS, having an external drive for dual boot, or just enjoy Steam OS. And I hope that it would also be fun to test, and to watch the results. Thanks in advance for taking this suggestion into consideeration.
  5. Connected to the internet, with any software as Matrix - Riot or google chat, or even Whatsapp web, you have an IP phone, and of course any soft phone or SIP. As it is already a phone over WiFi. Why not give it 5g capabilities? As there are phones under 100 USD and 5G under 200 USD probably, even if it is as an option for 50 USD more I think there will be people interested in being able to connect to the internet wherever they want with flat 5g fees that most countries enjoy for cheap in bundles. All the other mean things you write, I take as compliments, as you write it would cost 5000 USD, when reality says they are only choices, that would not increase the price a lot, and I am sure we will see those devices, from them or the competition in future iterations.
  6. I just watched you and I think you missed 2 questions about Steam deck 1.- Hardware (standard NVMe) - Will it have standard NVMe modules and how much?. 2 would be great, one for the OS - I already use arch based KDE (Manjaro) and I had to switch from 100 Gb to 500 Gb for the OS drive that is now a WD blue NVMe that is cheaper and much faster than micro sd cards - and other for games, where 2 / 4 Tb and plus is the future will be necessary - I actually have more than 1 Tb of games installed in HDDs, and I am not a heavy player, and most of the games I purchased are not installed. I suppose 1 Tb 2.- Is it a "nexus" alike prototype? - They claim that others can make "Steam decks" too. If AMD is offering this SoC to OEM, And I were working in one of them as CEO ... I would immediately order to make a prototype with 2 - or more - NVMe slots, Wi Fi 6, NFC, and SIM or eSIM with 5G - there are cheap 5G flat fees in many countries - phone size (6 - 6.5"), a real pocket PC, with attachable USB joystick, as many in the market, saving the cost of developing them, and making an agreement with one or several brands to bundle it, to be an x86 (very thick) GNU/Linux phone or Software IP Phone (SIP) or any video chat software that is also a Steam deck. Even if I would have to add an ARM or RISC V SoC to let it work as a phone or soft phone in sleep mode. Last but not least with cameras in the front and back for photo and video taking plus video chat, but up in horizontal, as old photo cameras, not in vertical as actual phones. (I am sick of vertical videos). Also, cheap laptop 1080p chase to attach the pocket pc, that also can be used as dock (with a lot of IO, as USB-A, Ethernet, USB-C, HDMI 2.1 - not only 2.0 -) and 32" an 40" desktop monitor with the same specs, for desktop PC use, because they are cheap enough now (I bought a 40" VA panel TV for 200 €) and you are more productive with bigger screens. And for gaming, big screens are also better. And these products are affordable for average parents for their kids in OCDE countries. 3.- If it succeeds as pocket pc / IP phone / video chat platform ... It will spread PC gaming, KDE GNU Linux desktop, between children, and families. And one of the ways would be a phone for children without a phone charge (via flat fees and IP/PBX, cheap soft IP landline phone numbers,3 USD/month or even free as the Google ones, and or video chat software as FOSS Jitsi, Wire, Jami Riot or MS Skype Google or FB ones Zoom etc)
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbrus-8S On wikipedia they say it has previous generations, and it scores 576 Gflops - and my Ryzen 3600 scores 484 -, so it must be a good enough CPU for gaming. And a great alternative to AMD and Intel, at least in Russia, and where it would be bought, https://www.hardwaretimes.com/meet-the-elbrus-16s-a-16-core-cpu-2ghz-designed-in-russia-on-a-16nm-process/
  8. A portable test bench, as it would have hinges to close it at home / hotel.
  9. I would like to buy a slim desktop pc case Where I can install: - the motherboard, - 2 extensors to put the discrete GPU plus other PCI device as a NVme card in horizontal - a slim or even a device to plug an external power supply. My goal is to be able to travel with my desktop computer inside my suitcase with my clothes. And it is possible if I take it by parts - except for the case - I think the goal should be 1/3 of the actual normal cd rom capable front size or less, with holes for wind flow of course. And with hinges, (all around the mother board back plus one "double" hinge where the top is attached to the second line of hinges) and some not screwed fixing as it can be tweezers this way you can also transport the case in a thin envelopment to be able to dissemble the computer to save space in the suitcase. Or to open the case, put down the top part, putting the electronics inside in contact with your clothes so earn space and soft protection to the electronics. I think that if someone would design this case, even if it is for 3d printing, a lot of PC gamer travelers, would prefer to plug those slim cases to hotel room monitors, than laptops, and also is a great solution for those with summer / sunny weekends homes, or people that work in several locations as actors, some university teachers, and many more, that would prefer to carry their desktop gaming PC twice but not 6 times bigger than a more expensive and less powerful laptop. Last but not least, just a normal case but with hinges, that would allow to make the case thinner, and perhaps with the PSU in your backpack, would be a great intermediate or alternative solution to solve this. Thanks in advance if you create a case like that, that I would buy from your shop immediately if you would sell it there, i think it can be a great business opportunity for you this idea.
  10. I want to watch BENCHMARKS and know why it is not available for LiGNUx. I tested it playing Quake Champions, and it is not for FPS. My Gforce 750 Ti is twice as better as their performance. And even it is good enough to play, it is not good enough to win.
  11. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/zhaoxin/kaixian A KAIXIAN KX-6000 (x86 16 nm) computer build and benchmark. and a follow up when the KAIXIAN KX-7000 (x86 7nm) arrives
  12. Pine and Xiaomi are making affordable computer watches. I would love to watch some videos about them. I know one is in beta stage, but you can review the open source RTOSs it support and the other will be only in china versions, but you have staff that speaks mandarin, that will spoil what a future global version would be.
  13. https://es.aliexpress.com/item/4000203864226.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.40323d2bb6hzkK&algo_pvid=701caa9b-8350-41df-ba1c-79624af55a50&algo_expid=701caa9b-8350-41df-ba1c-79624af55a50-0&btsid=3cdb1704-b810-43e4-9242-a220c1848abe&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_53 Now you can buy with english menus - and make a BENCHMARK video please - The 70" REDMI 4K TV that sold 15 million units in 15 minutes. I will not buy it with that price, but when and if it become closer to the chinese one, I will think about it.
  14. NFORTEC Hydrus V2 e Hydrus RGB are new cheap solutions. Perhaps LTT will do a video about it.
  15. Suggestions: 1.- I would love to read the budget by parts on screen and at the youtube notes. 2.- I would love to watch an Open Media Vault vs FreeNAS benchmark for this and other NAS 3.- I would like to watch SOHO NAS configurations, and benchmarks from those made with rk3399 boards to latest low spec x86 computers to those that are WiFi hard drives with battery vs DIY solutions All of that with budget benchmarking tips and tricks, and some virtual machines, containers and services as Nextcloud in a OMV container I think once a month something about SOHO NAS would be great as your public are SOHO users. Thanks in advance for taking into consideration these suggestions and thanks for your informing while entertaining videos
