I know every so often there will be a small fad for making low-powere desktops from laptop CPUs.

Wouldn’t soldering a mobile GPU on an x16 card be a business model if thry’re more available/affordable?

I recall during the crypto fiasco they tried to sell crippled cards (not sure how much was hardware vs drivers) that wouldn’t hash as fast to make it look like they were throwing a bone to gamers, but here the mask is totally off that thr core constituency is gone.

I made a serious effort to switch to Wayland, which involved ~3000 lines of code to hammer the experiences I like in fvwm3 into labwc and it still feels imperfect (X11 has too many clipboards, but Wayland has too few)

There are some minor more-smooth experiences (games don’t microstutter when I change audio tracks) but the steak isn’t really worth the sizzle.
