Is SteamOS a future default for handhelds?

Jump

  • 95% of people do not need spific software. They need a webbrowser and a software for writige emails and letters. That is why every store ist trying to sell them chromebooks. For the 5% that come back and say that their conputer is not working just say sorry and give them a windows machine and a giftcard for the inconvenience. Overall the store should still make money dooing so. After all, that is what they are dooing with chromebooks at the moment

  • Most people that by a console or a laptop in a store don't even know what an operating system is. If you would just put linux on all consumer machines, no one would question it and if they do, the seller would say "It is a new version"

    • Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance

  • I would just wish there would be a new Reddit view as well. It is just so annoying having to click on the images to zoom in

    • Switch to Linux phone?

  • I am daily driving my PinePhone Pro running manjaro (Plasma Mobile) for about a year now. I can say, it is definitely daily driveable with some exeptions/limitations:

    • The Battery life is horrible, like 3 h max usage from a battery. But since the batteries are cheap and can easily be swapped, I just have 4 of them to get through the day
    • The camera is working in the sense, that it can make pictures. If you want nice pictures, bring a separate camera
    • From time to time, cellular network connectivity drops out for short moments

    Other than that it is pretty much functioning as a real phone. Of curse there are not that many apps. Telegram works natively and flawless, but whatsapp needs to be used via Whatsapp Web. For syncing all my documents and files I use nextcloud which works without any problems (once set up)

    There is also the non Pro Version of the PinePhone, which is much slower, but has a better camera software and longer battery life (and is cheaper)
