unless something's wrong with hardinfo's interaction with lm_sensors

 

Maybe that is the case; most of the gui tools in that list specifically mention fan speeds / show it in the screenshots. Or maybe lm_sensors is just not detecting them properly on your system??

Banned... for gaming on Linux... 'cause that's "cheating" and unfair to Winduhz users that are crippled by the cancer OS.

AMEN! It's true. The Redmond Mafia doesn't want anyone to know that. 

 

@ryanbesides all of the Crysis titles we love, this one also plays great. (So far almost everything does.)

Linux gaming: Which distribution runs Windows games best?

REPORT LINUX GAMING Which distribution runs Windows games best?

Thanks to Valve, playing Windows games on Linux is more practical than ever before. Three distributions with a gaming focus in the test.

Just finished setting up my shiny new Kubuntu 24.04 LTS clean install and working on Steam game installations.

It really is good. People that says they are sticking with Windoze so they can play games haven't taken time to investigate Linux. Maybe it never occurred to them that SteamOS is Linux, LOL.

This isn't supposed to work, but Lutris makes it so. Slightly lower score than Windows, but to be expected. My little Munchkin work PC isn't designed for this kind of thermal torment and it definitely thermal throttled, LOL.

OK now that I let the water in the 360 AIO cool down overnight and my office is not 82°F it's working much better. Cinebench R24 does not work as efficiently on Linux as R23 does. Very close to the same score in Linux and Windows with Cinebench R23. With R24 the clock speeds dip due to the Linux power management governor being too aggressive.

With time you all will see Linux will get a bigger user-base. To the better for the whole Linus community. More power means more options. Microsoft digging their own grave.

I started using Windows XP and then Vista, after a long time I was just happy with Windows 7 and considered it extremely convenient, fast and functional, the early 10th versions also evoke pleasant feelings and became native.

 

In general, it is actually quite frustrating to see where all this is going in the end and what path they have started to follow. Linux is really getting closer.

Potentially 10% if all the "Unknowns" are running Linux.

 

Seriously, I take StatCounter stats with a large helping of salt.  They tend to have lots of aberrations - like how macOS lost 7% of the entire market between November and December - not 7% of macOS, 7% of everything.

 

Steam also shows increased Linux share, over 2%... it also has had its fair share of aberrations.  But that is a second data point.

 

I'm curious if there are any more concrete metrics, points of comparison.

 

The Linux increase sounds plausible, if not macOS losing 7% in December... but I'd like something a bit more reliable than StatCounter before proclaiming 2024 to be the Year of the Linux Desktop.

 

(Although if Microsoft keeps cloud-ifying Windows, 2025 may be the Year of the Linux desktop for me)

Desktop: Core i5 2500k "Sandy Bridge" | RX 480 | 32 GB DDR3 | 1 TB 850 Evo + 512 GB NVME + HDDs | Seasonic 650W | Noctua Fans | 8.1 Pro

Laptop: MSI Alpha 15 | Ryzen 5800H | Radeon 6600M | 64 GB DDR4 | 4 TB TLC SSD | 10 Home

Laptop history: MSI GL63 (2018) | HP EliteBook 8740w (acq. 2014) | Dell Inspiron 1520 (2007)
