  • I want to upgrade my steam deck, but I am not big on upping the resolution, nor would I choose to go to 16:9 over 16:10. Add to that the 140$ price point (which is probably a totally fair price, just not worth it for me), and this is a hard pass for me.

  • I actually keep an old used smartphone for just these sorts of things.

    I am planning on getting a small tablet to handle this. But, that will be a problem for a much richer MXX53.

  • This is the only way I would upgrade my shipment 2 steam deck. At current prices, the OLED is a great deal, just not quite a compelling enough upgrade for me to pull the trigger.

    If not this, then I will be eagerly waiting for whatever the true second gen steam deck will be.

  • I started on gnome. Used gnome for most of my linux life. However, after some memory and performance issues, I decided to try KDE. That was about 3 years ago and everything that handles it well and I use a GUI with has been moved to KDE.

  • I am unsure if the specs bear this out, but my personal experience has been that RDP's compression and encoding leads to much smoother interactions with the remote machine, especially when there are a lot of windows or visuals on screen. My bandwidth utilization has been lower on VNC.

    Using RDP I also meet CMMC guidelines, which is probably doable with VNC, but not as easily or without some additional work on my end to prove compliance. It's also easier to convince my clients to allow me to work off-site using RDP as a trusted secure protocol. Less headache.

  • I have some RHEL machines at work. They are used as VM hosts for windows VMs (CAD software). I set them up, but I also have a huge list of other apps and servers that I manage,develop and support, and so the person that wanted these mahines wanted professional services as an option if I am out or busy with other projects. Plus it allows us to offload liability for security if need be, whereas when I do it, there is anyone else to blame, legally speaking. ( Although so far we have not had a breach on my watch knocks on wood )

    I just use fedora at home, I find the they are about the same and I personally wouldn't pay for the additional services. The package manager is different, but that's about it.

  • Fedora 41 KDE at home on my daily driver laptop and desktop.

    Antix on my dell mini netbook.

    Multi machine VMs I manage at work run on red hat enterprise with no DE or WM.

    My web app servers at work run Ubuntu server 24 LTS with no DE or WM.

    My home lab runs on fedora 41 server, no DE or WM.

  • I have a folder for my projects on root and within those projects I have my GitHub repos all contained within their own directory named the same as the project.

    If I am learning something, I have a folder for the topic I am learning, and a logseq file with all of my notes. Then I have folders for my book references, one for video or audio references, and then a folder for my practice projects.

  • I manage the few linux servers at my company. I use a windows laptop to ssh to my servers. Windows for me is fine, but I do very little on it outside of ssh or emails. However, I would never use windows outside of this.

  • Fair point. Hadn't followed recently, but that suggestion makes sense. I would personally buy used, but I totally understand others not wanting to and buying the newer chips would make the most sense there.
