<li><strong>Canonical’s ARM64 Steam Snap: gaming on a DGX Spark, because why not?</strong>: Canonical just dropped an ARM64 Steam Snap for Ubuntu, bundling the x86 Steam client with the FEX emulator. They’re touting Cyberpunk 2077 running at over 200 FPS on an NVIDIA DGX Spark. Because, you know, everyone has a multi-thousand-dollar AI supercomputer lying around to play games on. It’s ‘experimental,’ of course, and not officially supported by Valve, but hey, at least you can say you tried to game on your AI research rig. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Z9Oa5uBqK" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
