    Are we counting Chess? /s

    Depending on the region, I'd say that the most influential games for me before the release of the NES would be Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, but it didn't come out before the Famicom. Classic Edutainment Game that taught geography and history and the show was always on in my house. That or The Oregon Trail. RIP Turgle Burgle, I shouldn't have forded the river (again).

    As far as the choice of game, it's an incredible example of the power of PSX Recomp, with exemplar gameplay, replayability and a soundtrack that has more than stood the test of time. /s

  17. Comment on Building an Arch Linux aarch64 port for Holo Core in ~games

    Sources: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/holo/holo-core-aarch64-preview Binary packages: https://holo-packages.steamos.cloud/holo-core-aarch64-preview/mash-20251118 Docker container:...

    Valve uses an adapted version of the Arch Linux distribution in its products. At Collabora we have been working with Valve on Holo Core, a pure aarch64 port of Arch Linux to be used as the basis for the OS running on the Steam Frame, which uses an aarch64 CPU. Since Arch Linux does not officially support the aarch64 architecture, we have needed to work on the tooling and CI infrastructure to make this possible.

    In this first step toward opening up the work on the aarch64 port, we are publishing prepared binaries, their sources, and the development containers we've built from them, allowing anyone to begin to explore the port and experiment with Arch Linux on aarch64:

    Sources: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/holo/holo-core-aarch64-preview
    Binary packages: https://holo-packages.steamos.cloud/holo-core-aarch64-preview/mash-20251118
    Docker container: registry.gitlab.steamos.cloud/holo/holo-core-aarch64-preview/base-devel

    These published artifacts correspond to a subset of packages from a snapshot of the Arch Linux “state” repository with commit 97c0a0b47d15 with any modifications needed to build for the aarch64 architecture.

    The video here follows the presenter taking a motherboard from a broken laptop, hardwiring the power button to a custom ribbon cable and then combining it with an iMac display and television speakers to make a cost effective all in one PC. The idea is that since most powerful laptops have their components so integrated you can't replace individual parts, you might as well treat it a single board computer and buy up otherwise broken machines to upcycle them. Is this something you see becoming more accepted with hardware prices continuing to rise?
