Yeah, recently I’ve run into 1 game I’ve wanted to play that I just couldn’t (Valorant so probably a better outcome lol) and maybe 2 that had any sort of issue.
If you’re mainly into competitive games it’s still rough, but otherwise it’s honestly smoother than my friends on Windows often.
Yeah, but people installing GrapheneOS probably aren’t in the vast majority of users

Oh, sorry, it’s called “Panels” app store says it has ads, but I just denied it network access and I’ve never seen one.
Aegis, its not on by default, but its recently customizeable, so play around with the settings
Edge Panels are a samsung only thing, but I use a similar app on my phone.
I use it less as a dock and more as a way to access stuff I want to quickly be able to go in and out of.
For example, the 2fa app I use auto closes when I copy something to the clipboard, so I just swipe into the app, copy it, and I’m back where I was.
Its also great for apps I don’t use frequently enough to want on my home screen, but when I do need them I don’t want to hunt around for them
I agree with pretty much everything they’ve said, though I’ve gotten more use out of the swappable parts. I have a desktop I use for things I need a powerful system for, but being able to swap in the GPU when traveling is great.
When I’m at home I have basically everything on USB C and the empty expansion bay.
When I travel I swap in the GPU and add an HDMI port and some USB a ports.
If you don’t have stuff set up like I do I agree it’s mostly just a reparability / upgradeability thing.
Nah, they’re just it people on their way to a convention
Yeah, they can’t attack her record cause conservatives would like all the bad things she’s done
You could try flashing the recovery image and re-imaging your deck. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3
I’d contact valve support if that doesn’t work, they’ve always been great whenever I’ve interacted with them.
Yeah, starmer kicked him out for not being centrist enough, which is why he ran independent (and beat the labour candidate)
Oh yeah, they’re free to decide, I just disagree with them! I get the decision though, and if I were on charge of a large distro, I’d probably make the same choice (until plasma is on a normal release cycle)
Yeah, like I’m all in favor of having an opinionated design, but their dominance makes their bad decisions actively harm every other de. Stuff like refusing to compromise on cross-desktop protocols
Their whole attitude towards development is similar, down to not working with other dekstops and insisting on doing things the way that works best for them regardless if it’s worse for the linux ecosystem overall.
Nah, GNOME is worse mostly because it’s the default on a ton of distros, so them having this attitude actively get’s in the way of cross-desktop development instead of just being annoying.
Yeah, KDE’s basically at the point you don’t need GNOME imo, it’s so customizable you can make it basically look/function the same as GNOME without having to put up with GNOME’s dumber decisions
Nobody hears about them shutting down oil factories, attention getting stuff is why those are talked about.
They never do any actual harm either, like Stonehenge was cornstarch, it’ll all be gone the next time it rains. They paint the glass in front of paintings, not the paintings themselves.
My only concern with nobara is that Fedora 41’s dropping x11 support, and I’m not confident nvdia drivers will be in a good enough state to recommend to a beginner.
SteamOS is based on arch, but it has major differences. The steam deck’s update mechanism is completely different from normal arch Linux.
Arch normally immediately updates to the latest version of every program. This is usually fine, but when a big bug is missed by the developers, it can cause problems.
The steam deck updates a base image that includes all the programs installed by default, and by the time it releases a lot of them aren’t the absolute newest version. When valve updates SteamOS they definitely run a lot of tests on the base image to make sure it’s stable and won’t cause any issues.
SteamOS is also an immutible distro, meaning the important parts are read only. This also means updates are done to everything at once, and if something goes wrong, it can fall back to a known good version.
Not to say arch Linux is unstable (its been better for me than Ubuntu), but SteamOS is at a completely different level. It’s effectively a completely different distro if we’re talking about stability. I think what they’re hoping is this support would allow arch to build out testing infrastructure to catch more issues and prevent them from making it to users.
