But I’ve spent most of the time tweaking and setting up and downloading stuff rather than actually playing. Games seem to work really well. Not doing benchmarking but I really like how stable the framerate is when frame cap is in place. So far everything I’ve tried was absolutely buttery smooth.

    And besides the discussion that brought the controversy, from what I can gather, Linux benefits the most from KVM, making using a virtual machine with some super old Linux system in it very viable. _

      Well yes and no. Some things you absolutely can do that with. But not a lot of people realize just how common it is for industrial devices and applications to still use older chipsets. 486s and pentiums still in use today. Simply because by modern standards they are relatively low power tried and tested basic designs. And when you need a discreet portable device. Virtualization often isn’t really useful. One could argue why don’t they make a wireless dumb terminal of some sort tie back to a central system with a bear minimal system on it just for displaying information. But in noisy industrial environments that really isn’t an option. I do see some vendors Etc starting to use Android based devices. But it’s a slow change over. And only just starting.
