  if there's a way to mount SFTP as a network share in Windows (I doubt it), you'd do well to do that

  Can we run Steam with Linux® emulation in FreeBSD?
• 14:31
  hiya
  or what is the extend of emulation?
• 15:01
  duncan
  the steam client worked when I tried it (note it was 32 bit still), but I never launched any games except super hexagon
• 15:01
  duncan
  games which run on java tend to work mostly, like Minecraft

  vigumnov: i run plex inside a regular jail if that helps?
• 21:45
  SponiX
  vigumnov: why on earth would you run Plex with Linux emulation when there is native FreeBSD Plex
• 21:45
  vigumnov
  since they pulled hardware transcoding for freebsd
• 21:46
  vigumnov
  in 2023 or so, with the new client forced to upgrade to latest server
• 21:46
  vigumnov
  been running in a VM but it stinks
• 21:46
  vigumnov
  with gpu passthrough*
• 21:49
  SponiX
  Fun

  That's unfortuate. My plex is also in a regular jail, but on a xeon so cpu transcoding is powerful enough for me
• 21:55
  SponiX
  Same here, 22 and 20 core Xeons

  I got tired of my Nvidia 4070 Super on Linux. Now I have an AMD GPU in both machines (Linux and FreeBSD)
• 21:57
  tehpeh
  wowzers!
• 21:57
  tehpeh
  Is the amd fairly recent?
• 21:57

  Linux card is a 9070 XT, FreeBSD card is a RX 5700
• 21:59
  tehpeh
  any issues on FreeBSD with drivers?
• 22:01
  SponiX
  No, but my X99 system is like over a decade old. And it is hard wired networking.
• 22:01
  SponiX
  Everything works well with FreeBSD
• 22:06
  vigumnov
  tehpeh quicsync is magical 4-5 4k streams transcoded to 1080p/720p with about 50% utilization
• 22:07
  vigumnov
  never mind the power draw if done on standard cpu
• 22:13
  SponiX
  Yeah, using a GPU for transcoding is for sure more efficient
• 22:14
  SponiX
  even an iGPU

  Can I run Linux windows managers on FreeBSD or does FreeBSD have its on ports or things that replace them ?
• 23:07
  mason
  oxbar: There is no such thing as a Linux window manager.
• 23:23
  tehpeh
  vigumnov: I only ever run 1 stream at a time
