    With open architecture, it should be possible for Linux on a ps5 to be just as good as ps5 software for taking advantage of the hardware.

    It’s why open hardware is the next hurdle. It’s already starting to happen with routers and open drivers but it’s far from as good for open cpus etc.

    With open hardware, we could start to eliminate security concerns about using American/Chinese/whatever hardware or software as it could all be verified. I think it’s partly why Linux is gaining steam. An open background allows anyone to build on what’s come before. Proprietary stuff only allows those with access to improve or start from scratch.

    Linux is more mature and so building on the past builds new features, where windows can only lock down and try to gain revenue. They know they are losing. I am wondering if this is part of the push for ai as it would be harder to run at home. Not forever though.

      Does Linux do the constant transferring of assets between the RAM and VRAM?

      I could be wrong but I think consoles and OSX are designed to not need to do that which makes them much more efficient with power and RAM usage.

      I think it’s time for MS to bring that option to Windows but they don’t care about consumers or giving them options.
