When they can’t use your internet connection, they also add personal information to any file you generate with the softwares such that if you send the file to someone else who has a license they will unknowingly rat on you through their connection.

This sounds evil, possibly violating some EU laws too.

god-awful installer

lol, it's not that bad is it? I have installed fedora on 2 of our machine without a single issue 😂

I, too, have been a longtime fan of Gnome. It's workflow IMO is quite practical and pleasant to use.

Slightly off-topic here, but have you considered Fedora? For me it just gets the job done and stays out of my way. I don't want to configure a whole bunch of things before I can get to work so I find fedora simple to use and well-integrated. Docs and forums are quite helpful too.

I see, thanks for the info!

Maybe I'm dumb but looking at wikipedia I'm a bit confused. Seems like you can do this on almost any linux distro. What is the reason behind setting up a dedicated OS, cost of operation, stability, performance?

 

I installed Fedora on a external ssd connected to steam deck through a usb hub. Somehow it won't boot up after an automatic update and reboot. Error says something like "/dev/disk/by-uuid/****" does not exist, and my usb keyboard does not work at all. Turns out I've set USB dual role device to DRD and that confuses the kernel or the usb hub or the motherboard, or maybe all of them. Anyway, set it to XHCI and everything is fine again.

Quietly

This sounds so dump. How else are they going to rebuild, invite everyone over to watch and party?

Original switch screen was rubbish, to put it mildly. While original Steam deck screen is in fact quite decent. It gets bright enough for indoor usage, has large viewing angle, color is ok. I can happily play my original steam deck for another one or two years. I only play on my original switch with it plugged in to a TV.

it was hard to play on the balcony

OLED should be better but I believe it'll draw a lot of power at peak brightness so playtime is quite limited without a (huge)powerbank

I'll start using this trick today

 

Every so often I give a few bucks(far less than the worth of knowledge I got from it)
