What do you think about a "SteamBSD" machine ?

The only person who knows about this stuff is shkhln
who wrote the linux-steam-utils

From his previous post about AI projects using his work i think highly unlikely he would want to be involved

I find it hard to believe that the only possible answers are highly technical ones. I think it is possible to discuss complex projects in a more casual way. As someone who isn't a programmer, I wouldn't be able to hold my own in a highly technical discussion—I freely admit I don't know how to program (in classical terms). However, I can engage in discussions involving low to medium technical complexity, and that is the kind of response I expect from you.
 
Maybe sometimes silence can be more eloquent than words? Besides, no one is forced to be interested in the projects you choose to participate in, even if they find them useful.

Not if I’m portrayed as a chatterbox who produces nothing.

Not if you (plural) urge me to show you something when I’ve already done so, but you (plural) ignore it.

You (plural) talk too much. I've already produced more useful and complex projects than you (plural) in your (plural) whole life.
 
I have never used Steam

im not a C programmer,
dont know anything about Kernel development or the graphics stack

If people dont know about a subject then they cant have a discussion about it

I can only tell you about the process i go though to create projects,
which involves reading all the documentation,
understand how everything work and then developing the logic to implement the idea.

shkhln is the only person who knows about this and you asked if he wanted to colloborate,
he didnt respond, so he doesnt

It seems you don't have a good imagination. I want stimulate you a little bit.
  1. From the screenshot, which elements indicate that FreeBSD is running as the host system while Debian is running as a guest inside QEMU?
  2. What is the difference between running Debian in QEMU with full CPU emulation and using QEMU with hardware acceleration through a hypervisor such as bhyve/vmm? How could you verify which mode is being used?
  3. Assuming the Debian VM needs to communicate both with the FreeBSD host and with the local network, which virtual networking configurations could be used, and what are the differences between NAT, bridge, and TAP?
  4. How could you determine, from inside the Debian VM, which devices are virtualized by QEMU and which devices, if any, have been assigned directly to the VM through PCI passthrough?
  5. If you wanted to make this VM configuration persistent, which QEMU configuration components would you need to save in addition to the disk image—for example CPU, RAM, PCI devices, networking, and firmware—in order to restart it later with the same virtual hardware setup?

Where did I urge you to show me anything? I'm really not interested in your tinkering with LLMs at all, and that's the whole point. Just stop pretending to be an artist, because this isn't art, and you're not even the one making it.

Sorry to hear that.
 
Ignoring the usual reddit mob...some guys there seemed to issue genuine warnings about feasibility of the project, tho
i.e. do you really, really want to spend huge amount of time and tokens on this? It is most likely a cluster F of undocumented HW quirks.

I'm not stupid. I will spend a small quantity of tokens to make some experimentation with a short list of games.
 
Just stop saying that you're an artist, because this isn't art, and you're not even the one making it.

If you happen to think I consider myself as skilled as someone who spent years studying at university, you're mistaken. Obviously, delegating tasks you can't handle yourself isn't ideal. But don't forget, I'm a hobbyist. I try to complete the projects I want to do using the tools and the competence I have. I don't view myself as a programmer in the same league as those who studied for years at university—though, in a way, I suppose I am a kind of. After all—and perhaps you missed this—I’m not exactly a complete novice; I’ve been working with computers since I was 16 and have picked up some fundamentals along the way. On their own, those basics wouldn't have been enough to build complex projects. But today, we have LLMs, and I use them to fill in the gaps in my knowledge—and I manage to produce good results.
