sorry for the pings

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•1/5/24, 5:17 AM

lol

CCharlieBros Seems MSI wants a piece of the cake

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•1/5/24, 5:23 AM

heres a leak of what it looks like (supposedly)

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:23 AM

Damn, you can really see the Chinesium going on there

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:24 AM

Looks veeeery similar to the ROG Ally, I wonder what would be the differentiating factor

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:26 AM

I mean, Steam Deck is the OG (sorry GPD and Aya, you got iPhoned), the Ally is lighter, smaller and burns your SD cards, and the Legion Go has a far bigger screen and resolution, the JoyCons and the kick stand

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:26 AM

And 2 thunderbolt ports

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:29 AM

I hope you don't mind, I changed the wording a bit when talking about the GNOME builds, I called them "sub-variants", as there's the main variants and then those variants have the option to use GNOME

CCharlieBros I hope you don't mind, I changed the wording a bit when talking about the GNOME ...

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:33 AM

sounds good to me

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:34 AM

I did it to maintain the wording consistent

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:36 AM

So y'all implemented a fix that never got merged, the one that Nobara was speaking about in their lengthy "GNOME sucks, here's 90 reasons why" post? Neat!

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:37 AM

Which one?

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:38 AM

The VRR and fractional scaling support

CCharlieBros The VRR and fractional scaling support

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:40 AM

ah, nobara had both of those too

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:40 AM

they're more saying it's a pain in the ass for them to maintain

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:40 AM

since they're not offiical in gnome yet

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:40 AM

tbh I agree

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:40 AM

but I like GNOME so I'll continue to support it

KKyle Gospo but I like GNOME so I'll continue to support it

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:40 AM

Bless you

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:41 AM

Really, what do you lose going with GNOME instead of KDE, besides HDR and VR gaming?

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:42 AM

nail on head

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:42 AM

you lose HDR and VR (in wayland)

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:42 AM

I'm sure they'll fix both eventually

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:44 AM

Well, the moment I buy the legion, I will not have any moneys for a VR Headset anyways, and the display isnt HDR, and honestly, unless you use a reaaaally good monitor, TV or you have an OLED screen, HDR gaming kiiiinda sucks

CCharlieBros Well, the moment I buy the legion, I will not have any moneys for a VR Headset a...

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:52 AM

good news is it's only broken in GNOME

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:52 AM

on an HDR deck you still have HDR on GNOME builds

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:52 AM

since it's gamescope

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:53 AM

"Oh! I wonder which fixes are implemented"

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:54 AM

I see, truly important fixes

KKyle Gospo good news is it's only broken *in* GNOME

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 5:55 AM

So.... as long as you add your games outside from steam, like emulators, to steam, you are golden?

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 5:55 AM

Minisforum HX99G is Powered by AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX Processor and AMD Radeon™ RX 6600M(GDDR6 8GB).

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 6:09 AM

Almost done, I decided to change the wording for rebasing so it's cleaner and more concise, so I have to update that and some context about gamemode

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 6:12 AM

christ I paid $500 for something 1/3rd this powerful not even a year and a half ago

iamchocho•1/5/24, 6:13 AM

yea, its not overly cheap, but for an AIO package with a real GPU, good luck beating this price. I spent a while looking.

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 6:13 AM

iamchocho•1/5/24, 6:13 AM

plus in this form factor.

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 6:36 AM

I clearly remember watching back in the time were the A10 APUs came out and people were MESMERIZED watching it running dishonored at 720p, our minds were blown that a single CPU with an integrated GPU could achieve such performance, now we can run Cyberpunk, a AAA game, out of a console that's not much bigger than a switch, sheesh

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 6:36 AM

So I was in a roll and translated the Why and Showcase sections, now let's check grammar and this

iamchocho•1/5/24, 7:11 AM

Yea the minipc market has gone kinda nuts as of late. used to be only a few options out there. but minisforum and a few others have been killing it with little ryzen based systems over the last year or so. Theyve got one with a built in oculink port, and a mobo+CPU with a full pcie slot they sell for pretty reasonable too.

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 7:18 AM

Let me know when you fellas update the readme to add this part asap!
