  • Before you do make a decision, allow me to bring up a point you should consider...

    (proceeds to rub all the bellies)

  • Yeah, but SteamOS is definitely a better OS. A lighter OS specifically. The Steam Deck, while being powerful, isn't exactly too powerful and having Windows on it isn't optimal.

    Luckily GPD (i think) offers SteamOS for their devices and i do want to buy a Win Mini.

  • Once my mental health doesn't suck so bad anymore, i am considering to use SteamOS (or ChimeraOS where SteamOS is not officially available). Alternatively Kubuntu, because Ubuntu has the most help resources. May not be as fancy as a runit based system like Void Linux but it's fine.

  • Didn't get my favorite Sims games to run on Void. And my mental health is so bad, i can hardly deal with failures while tinkering, which is necessary on Linux in conjunction with Windows gaming.

  • I did try Void initially. Void Linux doesn't have much resources but they did have an IRC chat willing to help... albeit with a little dont ask to ask schtick. I actually installed Void on a few of my devices for a while to try and get my favorite games to run.

    Aaaanyway i encountered some weirdness like being able to install a game one time and then not anymore after installing Void on the internal SSD. I didn't get my favorite Sims games to work and tried various Proton configurations... It was sad. My ex gf told me to buy a graphics card for my GPD Win 2, which has an Intel HD 600. I could but first i'd have to somehow make this thing compatible to Thunderbolt. Intel HD graphics aren't exactly good but "buy a graphics card" sucks as an answer too, even if in jest.

    I do still want to switch to Linux later once my mental health is better. And perhaps once i got the new Win Mini with integrated AMD graphics. I think GPD actually offers SteamOS for their devices so that's a distro i may want to give a shot. I do love the SteamOS interface and the KDE desktop.

  • I've tried switching to Linux and didn't succeed. Nevertheless i wouldn't wanna see a Microsoft Deck with Windows 11.

  • Gabe, a few years after holding the presentation: "Fine, i'll do it myself."

  • Which instance have you been on?

  • No, it's the evolution. Hear me out: Why do we need to teach kids about how life came to be when we could teach kids how to end life?

  • Josh (from Drake and Josh): "I ain't calling you visionfull!"

  • I think GPD offers SteamOS copies for their devices.

  • It will distract you for a few minutes and thus reduce stress.

  • I'm so sorry. I was sure i could win with her as my queen but i got hit by an en passant.

  • I'm not like other girls. My purse just has a mouse, charger, powerbank, HDMI adapter and all that for a Cray-1. Soon enough i'll upgrade to a spare NASA supercomputer because Starfield ain't gonna run on love and air.

  • Hmm yeah, but what if applications had to ask for less memory from the kernel?

  • You know what. I'm gonna turn into a queen even harder!

  • It didn't cause problems since i have a lot of RAM but i still hold the opinion that just because we have a lot of RAM, we don't need to waste it. We could keep being efficient about it and get even more out of the same amount of RAM, you know. That said, if Tauri lowers the RAM usage of the same applications i'm looking forward to it.

  • When did they add this rule? What next, can the queen en passant everyone that is 2 fields away from her?
