Yeah,but I dont want to get locked into a proprietary OS or have to put a lot of effort into hacking it to run Linux.
super fair. i am a Linux guy normally. i’m just being honest. i wish there was a better more open alternative.
if you want to go with the Linux alternative it’s going to cost. get at least 32GB of RAM and at least a 4090 to run the kind of models you’re asking for. it’s the way she goes
The apple silicon is more energy efficient but the latest Intel and AMD CPUs deliver more processing power and can also share a significant amount of RAM to the GPU / AI components.
I haven’t looked into Asahi Linux in a while now, but I figured the experience would be pretty good by now. You don’t need to “hack” anything to get it to run. Last I read, there were just a few driver issues, but I haven’t looked into it in probably 2-3 years now.
The framework desktop has unified memory iirc, and that can obviously use any os
I didn't realize they were making desktops. I almost bought a laptop from them a few years ago but ended up finding an ASUS laptop that worked well with Linux and was significantly cheaper which fit my needs better for that. I'll check them out.
Yeah they have soldered ram and cpu but have stays halo so ig that's fine
So just glancing at the site, are these basically laptop CPU and RAM parts just packaged in a desktop form-factor case and that's why they're soldered? Seems like they also don't have much expansion capability much like a laptop such as only having a single PCI-E x4 slot with a proprietary connection interface, so I couldn't later add a graphics card for example. Unless, I'm just missing something, and if so please let me know.
Either way thanks for letting me know about the option.
The main benefit is the strix halo cpu uses unified memory, thats why it's soldered, not bc it uses laptop parts
Ok, so short, wide bus from CPU to memory? Makes sense. I didn't really mean the CPU so much as the main board is very laptop like. Very little expansion capabilities other than external connectors like audio, Ethernet, etc., but no ability to add functional or incremental upgrades like a GPU or an additional stick of memory respectively.
The point of the stays halo series is the unified memory, so an additional GPU wouldn't be very useful, no?
