I keep seeing people comment that they really like it, I'm wondering if it's completely inaccessible for someone who has never played poker?

Welcome to the UK :)

Sometimes when it gets overwhelming I don't do any news or social media at all for a few weeks. It seems to help my mental health, particularly when every bit of news suggests that everything is going to shit.

Yeah, I recently replayed homeworld 1 and 2 and they hold up well. Still haven't played Deserts of Kharak but that looks good too. I've not played 3 either but unfortunately I've heard it's not great.

So the fuckers can learn!

Yeah, fediverse platforms aren't going to seriously compete against the big corporate ones until the user experience is as simple.

I've no problem with idiots who drink it, they shouldn't be allowed to give it to their kids though.

Neck tie.

My issue is power consumption. Where I live, I rely on solar panels and batteries, and the steam deck is less power hungry than a laptop with graphics card.

Hmm yeah I was thinking about possibly trying to boot from a usb. Haven't done that with linux since the 90s, I guess I assumed the linux os thingie would be too big or too slow. Maybe I'll give that a try, thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah I've been out of the loop with tech for fuckin decades. Bought the laptop a while back without knowing about the Nvidia ting. TBH I mostly start the laptop up maybe once a week for spreadsheets, calibre, and as a file transfer medium. I'd planned on using it for gaming too but then I got a steam deck. But yeah, there's some stuff I can't easily do on steam deck and I'm really getting sick of fuckin windows. Every time I start the machine it's trying to install some new AI shit or something. I don't need that, just want a working computer!

But you're right - next time I buy a laptop - if I need to - I'm thinking AMD for sure.

Edit - also because of my living situation (I don't live in a house, all my electric comes from a solar panel) power consumption is a real issue for me. And that laptop is power hungry.

Yeah I don't either. I have an oled steam deck, my mate has an LCD one. I can't really see much difference TBH, they're both great little machines.

I've heard linux has problems with laptops with Nvidia cards, like I have. Is this still an issue? I'm getting pretty fucked off with windows but frankly don't have time to embark on an ongoing technical challenge.

In the past, the aggrieved party got to choose pistols or swords. And I'm thinking swords would be much more fun to watch. I'd pay good money to watch those two bozos flailing at each other with cutlasses.

Wow thanks for all the suggestions, I'll check em out, pretty sure there's something there my mate and i can agree on.

We're using mobile hotspots, that's our only internet access. We can both connect to the same one though.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out!

Looks great, thanks!

Thanks for the detailed response. Yeah, I'd thought the LAN thing would be tricky - the issue is that where we live, we have to rely on mobile hotspots for internet connectivity and the speed isn't the best. It's usable, I think we were just hoping to find a more effective workaround! And thanks for the suggestions too, I'll check em out.

It was delay, deny, depose iirc

I think it looks kinda sexy.

Or you could just start planning to rob the fucker.
