It's inconvenient for sure, but monopolies are worse.

It's definitely convenient to have everything in once place, and Steam has way more features, but it's good to avoid Steam becoming too monopolistic. We saw recently how badly that can go with reddit.

Despite the widespread worshipping of Steam and GabeN, I've had lots of issues with Steam and Valve over the years.

Forms vary with those types of rules. I absolutely hate the ones that are autolocking after a few days/months.

It will definitely start to happen more as more forums start to join the fediverse (discourse for Eg).

I wouldn't want to spend lots of time learning and troubleshooting. I'd just want to replace Windows as easily as possible.

How would you even tell that it was that instance that was the problem since the whole fediverse is interconnected?

I was thinking something similar. It's not good that everyone goes to lemmy.world. Keeping the fediverse diverse is important. Shitjustworks is a good instance too that has low blocks.

Encourage more niche reddit subs to move to Lemmy.

It sounds like something very limited in capabilities that was designed only to run steam games on their handheld gaming computer. Another person suggested Chimera OS, and that seems similarly limited. I did a quick search for "how to choose a linux OS to replace windows" and found this article https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-make-the-switch-from-windows-to-linux that suggests Mint. I guess that plus Wine https://itsfoss.com/use-windows-applications-linux/ should work.

I looked at the first one and they advertise as "Instantly turn any PC into a gaming console". That doesn't sound like a replacement for Windows 10/11, that sounds more like a chromebook vs a PC?

The Steam Deck is a handheld gaming computer developed by Valve and released on February 25, 2022. The device uses Valve's Linux distribution SteamOS, which incorporates the namesake Steam storefront. SteamOS uses Valve's Proton compatibility layer, allowing users to run Windows applications and games.

This doesn't sound like a valid option for desktop PC users. Do other linux OSs have something similar?

fluff

Low-quality, mindless content designed to keep mindless people infinitely scrolling.

It is still very similar. Reddit and Lemmy are now primarily fluff content. I've had to block dozens of fluff subs on Lemmy. And misinformation and toxic/unintelligent users are a problem here too.

Yep. This is the primary thing preventing me from contributing to, and recommending Lemmy. People confidently posting and upvoting harmful misinformation, and toxic/unintelligent people. I've already left Reddit and Facebook (a long time ago) for similar reasons.

It was said in the previous thread that the TPM and Microsoft account requirements can be overridden with Rufus, so anyone can update to Win 11.

It would be better if they gave their AI the task of finding alternatives to antibiotics.

While antibiotic resistance gets all the attention, the damage being done to our host-native microbiomes is arguably as big a threat as climate change, as the damage compounds over generations, and once it's gone you can't get it back. (Apr 2019).

even a 5-10 year out-of-date medical professional has immensely more knowledge and safe ability to recommend therapy than a layperson

I know from a plethora of experience that this is wrong. It's also way too broad of a claim. Laypeople knowledge varies a lot. I know first-hand of some laypeople who are actually top experts in scientific/medical fields and I know of people with medical degrees who promote themselves as experts in their field yet they spread harmful misinformation that severely harmed patients and nearly got them killed.

you’re not supporting your position by citing a forum instead of the actual primary literature that supports your position

I think this is poorly worded, but I think I still understand what you were trying to say. There is no reason for me to duplicate the forum post here. There are citations there. Copying them here doesn't make them more legitimate.

Wow, projecting hard with that comment. This is a fantastic and well-cited article, and your comment does nothing to debunk anything in it, and you end with a baseless "you're scientifically illiterate" comment. Amazing.

I'm not as confident as you are in the evidence-based nature/abilities of doctors. See https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/doctors-are-not-systematically-updated-on-the-latest-literature-what-t.27/
