- 1New Linux compression method claims 452x speedup for in-RAM memory reads▼New Linux tech compresses memory in RAM, as RAM, for 452x speedup
A new Linux technique called CRAM compresses memory within RAM and reads it back as RAM, reportedly delivering up to 452x faster compressed memory reads. The method, covered by Tom's Hardware, could meaningfully improve performance for memory-constrained systems and workloads that rely on compressed swap or zram-style setups. Developers online are debating how the gains translate to real-world use.
- 2Bazzite PC maxes out Ethernet where Xbox fell short●I have my BazziteOS machine plugged into the same Ethernet cable I used to plug my Xbox into. Steam regularly maxes out
A gamer running BazziteOS, the Linux-based gaming OS, swapped their old Xbox for a PC on the same Ethernet cable and found Steam downloads regularly saturate their full 1 Gbps connection, while the console rarely exceeded 500 Mbps. They frame it as a simple observation while waiting for a new game to download, but it feeds ongoing discussion about Steam's download speeds compared with consoles.
