✧✦Catherine✦✧so i got a steam deck (i wanted one for a while & the threat of them running out of DRAM because of AI demand is looming)
it's... it's really nice. someone actually gave a shit while designing this PC hardware and software. rare and pleasant
i'm going to install Vivado on it
now for the real test of steam deck's utility: how fast can it pnr
despite having only 88 GB/s of memory bandwidth (https://glauca.space/@r/116126575467566538) it seems to be... okay? oddly it appears much slower to do synthesis than pnr on their or1200 demo project, which is not the way it usually goes
/usr/local/goth @ home@whitequark the thing I love about my steam deck is they're like "hey there's a full ass desktop environment and it's Linux so your hardware do what you want"
I respect that design choice
@ladytel yeah it's excellent
