Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.

Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive

Hey, if you have the space and don't mind the extra heat and electricity consumption 😎👌 all good by me.

That's the other thing. My new computer is a Mac Studio which takes up almost no space, and uses like 10-15 watts. Because I can just turn off my gaming computer when I'm not using it I'm saving significantly more power. Like just your CPU at idle uses more than the entire Mac actually doing things.

How much is a Mac Studio though? I imagine it would take me a few years of power consumption to catch up to the difference in price. 😅

My second screen is a laptop (T580), also bazzite, often running moonlight to the big monitor so the main box goes to low power mode when not in use (it's also the NAS, so no sleep, but mostly lives @ ~50W, got the GPU down to 4W idle :)

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

What do you have to do to work your GPU down in power consumption like that?

[-] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's AMD to start (7800XT), so if the screens off it uses like 6-8W anyway, then undervolt with LACT.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
