@notfromhere @greater_potater Gnome has the rotating cube desktop, burning windows and so on as extensions. Look up "rotating cube" and "burn my windows" in the extension page.

@arin You see the chromatic aberration from your glasses. You don't see the aberration from your eyes, same as you don't see the blind spot or the yellow spot, or notice that your peripheral vision is in black and white only.
@arin @gothicdecadence
Hate to tell you, but eyes have chromatic aberration. They have lots of optical faults. They're really pretty crappy, but our visual system learn to filter out and ignore it.
@Privatepower42 @thejevans @DoomBot5
They most likely do, and without any problems. They're just not *officially* supported; you can't ask for support if there's an issue.
@ReakDuck
Japanese input is doable without any system changes. Mostly adding language as well. Some software does need you to add language packs to system directories - that's one example where an overlay fs is useful.
Mostly it's good when you need to add specific packages (I ran into xmodmap not being available for instance). Or if you need something such as a custom keyboard layout (technically possible in your home though).
@ReakDuck @MJBrune
SteamOS is a spin off Arch aimed very specifically at the steam deck and nothing else. The desktop is nice but incomplete; try setting up a fully working japanese input method for example; or a full, modern gcc compiler chain.
In some future they may make a distro release aimed at a wider range of hardware. But until then it's not a general purpose desktop OS and it's doing them a disservice trying to pretend it is.

File system operations are often faster. This is in part due to Windows doing more; it has a more complex and more flexible permissions system.
Spawning threads and processes is also normally faster. Linux apps thinks nothing of spawning lots of processes with abandon, then have them opening and closing files all over the place. If you move it straight over to a Windows machine it will tend to run very badly as a result.
@flashgnash @Jumper775
Unless you specifically want to tinker with the system you probably want to stick with SteamOS.

I see the screenshot from the Mastodon mobile web client.
Edit: of course I do. It's the other way around that doesn't seem to work.
@iamak @mean_bean279
Just the price. You can get a *really good* manual grinder fully able to grind espresso for the same as a meh electric one.
But or course, grinding manually gets old really fast if you normally grind for more than 1-2 cups at a time
