What are you talking about? Blender can run hardware accelerated on AMD and Intel GPUs with Mesa. Do you mean rendering via GPU?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Blender
Blender only supports the official AMD proprietary drivers for rendering with OpenCL, meaning you will need to install one of the following AMD OpenCL drivers:
As late as 2019 AMD paid to get a developer to implement OpenCL but it has always taken a back seat.
I also believe its strict requirements on OpenGL 3.3 just to render a cube also excludes Nouveau.

I don't know why but a PS5 is cheaper than a graphics card, and it also come in case with a PSU, ram and an ssd (win win!!).
I wonder why we don't put linux in this... I know Nintendo 64 devices might be cheaper but still not as expensive as an Apple M1 laptop!
Congrats Intel for not shipping drivers in time, and thanks America for this freaking corporate business culture where companies become untouchable gods (Microsoft).. I was just reading about the whole neutrality debate in your country, and oh god you're so fucked up.

Well Intel apparently is already doing the chiplet design for their GPU's, at least in house. I think their top tier one has 4 chiplets and eats 400W..
but by the time that comes out we will be looking at 40series and 7k series GPU's from NVIDIA/AMD respectfully.

Also the CPU+GPU are on a single wafer from what I understand which just reduces the cost yet again.
Then you have Sony and MS willing to take small profit losses to get the consoles out the door because software sales is how they recoup those losses down the line.
GPU vendors nor retailers would EVER sell without a worthwhile profit margin. 6800 NON-XT here sells for $1149-1300AUD for example!Last edited by theriddick; 26 January 2021, 09:27 PM.

Sony did allow Linux on the early firmwares for the "fat" PS3 - they ended up removing it; ostensibly, IIRC, because "no one used it" - except a couple of universities, the US military and others who had clusters of PS3s! - but actually it turned out to be a gaping security hole which made cracking the console simpler.
Given that the PS4 runs a *BSD (I remember reading that, not sure where, might be wrong) I'd like to see Sony offer a "PlayStation desktop" alternate boot mode - although, again, if they allowed you to install/compile anything... it's asking to have the console DRM broken. Which Sony obviously do not want.

It is funny that you mentioned that. I remember Microsoft produced the first afforded optical mouse ( for you old timers out there, remember having to open up that ball mouse and clean out all of that gunk?). I bought one of those almost immediately. Now we take optical mice for granted. They also used to produce some really good games. The Age of Empire series is still, IMHO, one of the best RTS games out there (like Empire Earth, Command and Conquer, StarCraft, and Warcraft) and the Dudgeon Siege series was an excellent RPG ( again, IMHO).
Now they focus on Windows (primarily as SaaS, Azure, and Office.
I bought the Intellimouse Explorer Optical. Loved it. Really comfortable, although I might be in rose-tinted-glasses mode...
I really miss their gaming hardware division; the Sidewinder joysticks were great... and affordable.

Need more GPU-cores than built-in? Just plug in a PCIe or M.2 card!
