The plan? Simple. Install #SteamOS on the GEEKOM A5, poke at the hardware, and feed it a few games. And yeah, it has work with my Steam Controller. #Linux #miniPC

Hi everyone!
Our Star Labs systems come with US, UK, French, German, Nordic, and Spanish keyboard layouts right now, but we want to know what layouts do you actually want to see next?
Any specific layout you like? let us know in the comments.
We’ve just given our Byte a little upgrade!
It now comes with a faster processor and a new built-in fan, you can turn it on or off whenever you need.
Stephen explains it all in the video.
Let us know your thoughts, and if you’re a fan, help us spread the word.

Another day, another AMD Strix Halo-powered mini PC. Kind of. The upcoming AOKZOE computer with a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor looks like it's based on the same design as the previously-announced FEVM FA-EX9, but with AOZKOE branding. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Aokzoe-mini-PC-revealed-and-launching-soon-to-rival-GMKtec-EVO-X2-with-AMD-Strix-Halo-processor.1026109.0.html #AOKZOE #StrixHalo #MiniPC
Looks like Lenovo subsidiary LCFC plans to launch a mini PC with an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Strix Halo processor featuring 16-cores, 32-threads, 40-core RDNA 3.5 graphics, a 50 TOPS NPU, and support for up to 128GB RAM (96GB can be used by the GPU). https://x.com/9550pro/status/1927711183416459748 #Lenovo #StrixHalo #MiniPC

This morning I installed Alpine Linux (one of my favourite Linux distributions) on my little N150 (which I got for 124 euros), replacing OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I hooked it up to the new monitor (4K, although the N150 only handles 60 Hz) and worked on it all day.
It took me ten minutes to install Alpine Linux, KDE Plasma, and all the apps I needed.
Everything ran beautifully, without a single issue. A 124-euro MiniPC. Suspension to ram worked out of the box, hibernation just required to add "resume=swap device" to the grub configuration.
My only regret: FreeBSD doesn’t run on it yet - but I’m fairly confident things will improve soon, given the recent progress.
Most of us don't need a multi thousands euro devices to work comfortably.
