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.

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.

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