From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

eGPU docks? (programming.dev)

Hi all,

Just wondering how progress is on eGPU docks? I want to upgrade my GPU at some point and thought it might be cool to put it in a dock and connect it to a laptop. The laptop has a couple thunderbolt ports.

How's compatibility these days?

For sure. It's something I've considered for a while simply because I don't need that extra heat/noise created by the GPU when I'm only doing my day job.

My only problem with this is that the docks are like $300. I guess igpus are getting good enough that I’ll probably never need a dgpu again.

Still surprised how well the steamdeck can handle resident evil 4 remake.

I really don’t need better graphics than that. In fact, they don’t even need to be that good.
