It has 64GB of RAM, a 500GB NVEme drive as the primary storage, along with a secondary 500GB SSD and an external 2TB USB SSD. This system has totally changed the way I work. Compiling Ardour can take a long time - my previous system took about 9 minutes for a full build. The Ryzen system takes 2m50s! This is really helpful for encouraging me to feel entirely free to make frequent code changes that may require full rebuilds. When that now takes less than 3 minutes, its easy to not hesitate about making changes.OpenSSH with Fido2 and TrezorCockpit 213 — Cockpit ProjectOpen source licenses: What, which, and why | Ars Technica92% of Americans would delete an app that sold their personal information - TechRepublicA new Senate bill would create a US data protection agency | TechCrunchThe Facts: Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs (DoH) - Open Policy & AdvocacyPublic recursive name server - Wikipedia

Support Ask Noah ShowLinks:Thanks to Linux, Google and Valve are Bringing... » Linux Magazine — According to Kan Liu, Director of Product Management for Google Chrome OS, Steam is coming to Chromebooks. Steam is a digital video game distribution service, offered by Valve, originally released in 2003 as a means for Valve to provide automatic updates for their own line of games. Eventually the service was expanded to include third-party publishers, and it is now one of the largest digital distribution systems for games.
This new evolution for the Chromebook wouldn’t be possible without the addition of Linux compatibility for Chromebooks. So not only will Chromebook users be able to install from the massive catalogue of Linux applications, they will (in the near future) be able to run the same Steam games available to the Linux platform.
There is, of course, one caveat. Many of the Chromebooks on the market today run low-end specs. Those devices will most likely only be able to enjoy the very basic 2D games. In order to run more modern, graphics-intensive games, the Chromebook will require significantly beefier hardware.
At the moment it is possible to install the Steam Linux client on Chrome OS using the Crostini Linux compatibility layer. However, that installation offers zero support and very poor performance. The official rollout will take some time … maybe even years. Until then, you can satisfy your Linux fix on Chromebooks with the software available via Crostini and the apt-get install command.
