I would recommend Vanilla OS, especially Vanilla OS 2 once it's released. It's a very stable distro with an immutable system. It also allows you to install arch, debian, fedora, etc. packages using the apx package manager

It's not hard to get the majority of votes when the real opposition is in jail or dead

Does it? I assumed it works like this but I could be wrong.

Three out of five members in the family has the same game. That means three people in the family can play that game at the same time.

I would assume as any other distro. Windows applications are run through Wine or Proton on Linux. I am not currently using Vanilla OS on my machine (using arch btw), still waiting for the stable 2.0 to dive in deeper.

To run Windows applications I would install flatpak package support in any of the subsystems (arch, fedora), then install Bottles for Windows applications and Steam or Lutris for games. Never tried Lutris for applications but it might work well too.

Vanilla OS 2.0 sounds like it could be for you. That distro can install everything. I mean everything. Ubuntu stuff, Fedora stuff, Arch stuff and whatever else!

Yes, it's great that every company can choose to not give a fuck about anything except for their bottom line. I mean who cares about everyone else living on this planet, right?

The only thing these companies keep proving is that they will never make the right choice unless there are proper rules and regulations.

Damn, even the chair got older!

Wouldn't that be illegal in Europe with GDPR and other consumer protection laws?

On Arch I installed the "auto-cpufreq" package and my battery life is fine

Ubuntu and Gnome Desktop singlehandedly made me hate Linux in my teens

You must be American

Alright, I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I think Valve has done a fantastic job with the Steam Deck and I love it's openess. The Steam Deck made me aware of how good Linux has become and is the reason I ditched Windows on my desktop computer

You literally said

installing HGL or any other launcher is going to be both inconvenient and require a level of investigation that most people don't care to bother with when they can just hit "buy" on the store.

This reads to me that think Valve are going to make installing shit harder. I'm arguing that at the moment it's easy to do and Linux is an open platform. Nothing like a walled garden

No I just think you're exaggerating the problem and had a bad take on it. In my opinion Steam is harder to install on Windows than Heroic Launcher is to install on SteamOS.

Messing with Proton isn't required and I am sure most games will figure out how to add a shortcut to Steam.

It's really not that hard and there are plenty of guides available. If you are unable to visit the "store" (discovery), download a program and finally run it, then maybe you should just keep using Steam and not complicate things.

I feel like if you are smart enough to know that Heroic Launcher exists then you could figure out how to do a google search on how to install it. It's not like Windows "just works" every time

You could install everything you need using pacman and the aur inside Distrobox. Distrobox also makes it easy to integrate in to your root system

Why do you say that? Heroic games launcher already exist on Flathub and is super easy to use

Valve also made a really thought out and well designed product, which I think is pretty rare these days. The instant hibernation feature is just one example of why the Steam Deck is so much better than the competition

It's not correct in Swedish because of Sju (7) and Nio (9)

I use a betterfox userscript for hardening Linux Firefox
