Not what I’d call easy. But still neat

Sir I think you have stumbled into the wrong sublemmy

I guess we should also force everyone to use wheelchairs because they are great for paraplegics.

Even “heavy” linux distros are easy to run for a pc capable of running and streaming modern games. Lightweight distros are mostly relevant for older or underpowered hardware.

Have you checked out https://openrazer.github.io/#devices

The easy path to getting storefronts like EA working is through Lutris. It does all the setup for you through guided wizards. I can’t help much with deciding a distro tho, I’ve been using Fedora for years and that works well enough but is not exactly gaming focussed.

There are benchmarks on the huggingface page. The larger model is close to GPT4o performance. Which makes this worse than deepseek-r1. But it is a smaller model and not a reasoning model (doesn’t use up extra tokens to “think”). So still very impressive and important for open source.

Need? No. But hardware acceleration makes things faster and more efficient.

Those cost money too

I’d be more worried about the windows bootloader deciding to overwrite grub

It’s a lot higher if you are not related

For a company this big it would also have to have gotten past a code review and QA team, right? … right? …

Depends. Since this is security software it probably has a kernel driver component. I think in linux a 3rd party kernel module could do the same. But the community would not accept closed source security software, especially not in the kernel.

I can recommend this site for up-to-date and fairly neutral parts recommendations split by budget https://www.logicalincrements.com

It works in KDE + Wayland… mostly… for applications that support it… and there was this update that ruined my color profile for a while but they fixed that now!

Unless you have the ability to root it, does it matter? It’s likely a completely custom, stripped down distro anyway.
