@killyourfm well it'll have at least 3 more good years in it I reckon. Probably more with how frequently I perform my upgrades and with the games I play and make!

I used to play games on Linux on my 2012 netbook too, but the Steam Deck sure has made the portable life much more enjoyable!

@killyourfm both, and include performance/watt and (optionally) performance/dollar.

@killyourfm but isn't using actual standard sized batteries better for both longevity and reduction of ewaste?

@killyourfm this is a really cool idea, but some games may be quite difficult to come by without spending enormous amounts of money these days.

@killyourfm actually to be quite honest, as a seasoned Linux desktop power user and administrator of more than ten years, it's still too much to digest, and doesn't accurately describe what you're getting without first knowing exactly how the Fedora Atomic desktop works AND how universal blue implements it. so indeed, it's not very useful.

@killyourfm way too much to digest for the average Linux desktop user as well

@killyourfm this is what i do with my Linux desktop too, got a couple of microSD cards on my desktop PC, and when i leave i just bring them with me. they contain mostly games, but also a few other niceties that make the portable life super comfortable!

@Nadru they can in principle do that with any publicly available data, and certainly with federated data too, yes. Wether they do this or not is anyone's guess.

@Nadru there's no real way to protect against it if the data is available, afaik.

@thememesniper idk do whatever you want to enjoy life. if your only means of doing that is with windows 11 and roblox, and you value that higher than any issues you may have with 11 or MS, that's just that then, isn't it?
if you want things to change, there's no better way to ensure that than actions that show your disagreement if any.

@thememesniper being angry, sad, or disappointed about it will do nothing. they want money and attention, so if you give them either that'll show them what they're doing works.

@icedquinn did we play the same halo combat evolved? headshots absolutely were not just a thing, but the key. and still is, in Halo custom edition too.

@killyourfm oh wow that's almost 6 times as much sugar as a coca cola. where I live anyway.

@killyourfm yeah modern high end GPUs are... Oversized. It's gotten a bit ridiculous. Personally I'm not going to buy a new PC case just to fit a video card haha.

@killyourfm while I totally get that the design would be considered cringe now and ten years ago, I personally welcome a design that isn't merely a black square box. Anything visually to set them apart and show they're willing to make something new is great.
It's just a shame about Windows, because the UX is gonna be dreadful.

@killyourfm for small handhelds and even new lines of netbook-like devices (maybe Ultrabooks too?) it's definitely looking like a win. if the claims match reality.

@killyourfm not to be all up on eating rich capitalist pigs or anything, but if you need 300k views a month to make a living, i could see how that would drive some people to go the lazy route. not that i approve of that, but could it be a matter of work to profit to burnout ratio going bad?

@killyourfm even just running one run of a bunch of benchmarks is okay. It's not representative, but it's some effort. One run of one benchmark is negligence, so hopefully they did more?

@killyourfm vacation flights must be a nightmare!

@killyourfm the non-Steam handheld PCs were using Windows, right? Just to be sure.
