If you’ve been active in the home server ecosystem, you may have noticed the sheer number of operating systems available for your computing lab. For instance, the Rancher-based Harvester has grown into a fine platform for those who love tinkering, with regular updates further enhancing the functionality of this open-source OS. However, Proxmox is typically crowned as the emperor of virtualization platforms by the community… and that’s a notion I find hard to dispute. Having set up both platforms on my home lab, here are five reasons why I consider Proxmox better than its production-tier rival.

One of my favorite things about cloud gaming is that it lets you play graphically-intense games on the weakest of systems. A Chromebook is going to have a rough time trying to run Monster Hunter Wilds, but if you run the game on a cloud server and then connect to it through your laptop, you can hunt like the best of them without cooking your hardware. If you have no idea where to get started with cloud gaming, Nvidia has your back, as it has now added compatibility for Capcom's latest blockbuster game to its GeForce Now client.

Nvidia's Blackwell architecture is here, and it's not been the best launch for the company. Cards have been catching fire, melting connectors and cables. A non-insignificant number of cards got past quality control with missing ROPs. There's no stock to be bought, prices are out of control, and performance just isn't where it should be after several years of development.

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts have a common mantra: "Why buy what you can make?" After all, if you have the means to create your own gadgets, you can benefit from cheaper prices, open-source software, and the ability to repair it should it break down the line. Buying expensive, closed-source hardware that refuses to let you fix them can really get on someone's nerves.

Most people prioritize the CPU and GPU while building a gaming PC, as they're responsible for delivering the most performance, but overlooking other crucial components like the RAM can lead to PC bottlenecks. In fact, your PC's RAM is just as important as your CPU and GPU, especially in CPU-bound scenarios.

AMD's new RDNA 4-powered graphics cards are finally here, and the results are in — they're everything we hoped they would be. But to get the most out of your AMD Radeon 90 series GPU, there are some steps you should take to ensure your PC is primed and ready for 4K gaming. After spending considerable time with these new AMD RDNA 4 GPUs, I've rounded up some handy pointers for you to get more out of your GPU with a few clicks of the mouse.

Mobile World Congress, or MWC, is one of the biggest trade shows in the world, and while there aren't a ton of proper computers coming out of this show, there are a lot of smartphones, plus some cool concept devices here and there. As is tradition, we've rounded up the very best products we saw at the show, so let's jump right into the good stuff. Here are the best products of MWC 2025.

While Obsidian has nailed the basics and offers a robust ecosystem, it still leaves a lot to desire. The UI is not user-friendly and feels bland, and the popular PKM tool relies on third-party extensions to fill in the feature gaps. If you have been hunting for an Obsidian alternative, you have come to the right place. Meet Logseq – it delivers a refreshingly different approach, prioritizes an intuitive, outline-first design, and offers all the essential add-ons to create a robust knowledge management system.

I started a home office transformation with the goal of creating a modern space to enhance productivity and creativity. Oh, how wrong I was. It started as an exciting project and quickly turned into a series of regrettable decisions. It became a daily reminder of my poor choices. I prioritized aesthetics over functionality and traded my reliable LAN setup for a clean look of Wi-Fi, only to run into frustrating connection issues. I have learned a painful lesson: an eye-catching home office setup isn’t always a functional one.

It's not really news to anyone that gamers aren't exactly lining up for Nvidia's RTX 50 series (not that they're in stock anyway). I was among the many hoping to upgrade to the RTX 5080 from the RTX 3080, but that ship has sailed. Nvidia offered no compelling reasons to make the switch, plus the prices and availability have been horrendous, to say the least. While I had initially decided to wait it out, I now have some alternatives in mind.

Seeing a Raspberry Pi sitting around and collecting dust is a sad sight to behold. Raspberry Pis can be put to a lot of good uses, even old ones. As such, if you have a few SBC lying around and doing nothing, here are some ways to give them a second life. And yes, these can be done with older models of the Raspberry Pi; I'm going to assume that you don't have a spare Pi 5 lying around doing nothing, albeit you can still use one for the following projects if you so desire.

In the ’90s, I read gaming magazines constantly. They were my window into the gaming world, keeping me up to date on new releases, hidden secrets, and gaming culture as a whole. But by the early 2000s, I drifted away from gaming, spending most of my free time playing music, touring, and making art. It wasn’t until COVID hit that I got back into it. My partner introduced me to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and from there, I started exploring retro games I had missed.
