Speak for yourself? They have repeatedly politicised changes that make the codebase more inclusive. The thread you linked too did get heated, but this seperate PR was perfectly calm and they still locked it, while providing really contradictory reasoning. They say they don't want to "alienate anyone who'd like to join in the project" but their use of male-gendered pronouns throughout is doing just that...
Oh yea, Baikal is incredibly light and they do publish an arm docker image. You could absolutely tun a bunch of other services off the same SBC if it's a RPi4 or stronger.
Bazzite is a collection of packages and default settings, as is SteamOS. My point is that a cross-platform Gamemode replacement could be used by better already established distros like Bazzite.
What makes it more tailored than Bazzite? That includes Lutris, which you can use to install games from GOG, Itch and Epic Game Store, as well as add them to Steam for Gamemode with just one click.
I don't think it's E2EE, because it uses open standards, bur you could self-host (including on a VPS if that's easier) a Baikal server. It does contact sync as well, using the CalDAV and CardDAV standards.
I'm not accusing anyone, I'm in favour of both this and last year's actions in support of ending Invasion Day. If anyone thinks that some statue's being desecrated as a form of protest is too far, they're part of the bloody problem. We're so uncomfortable being inconvenienced in any way, shape or form in this country.
Steam deck OLED is actually more powerful than the legion go S from what I've seen online so far
I strongly doubt that considering the head-to-head specs of the Z2 Go vs the Sephiroth APU. They're both 4c/8t but the Z2 has significantly faster base clock and turbo on both the CPU & GPU, as well as more compute & shader units, and hardware raytracing.
The Z1 Extreme in the original Legion Go also dominates over the Deck with even higher clocks, and an 8c/16t CPU. Plus with Bazzite you get a SteamOS-like experience.
However you're 100% right about the fact that Valve don't necessarily care about the Deck making money. They made it to create a market segment that makes them more profits on Steam, and to encourage the push towards Linux gaming due to their long-term cold war with Microsoft. What I'd actually love to see them do is a Steam Deck Pro with the Z2 Extreme and a 1440p display. Maybe with a bottom USB-C port, a proper dock and a revamped Steam Controller.
You're right that it's not cloud-based, but it's still "always online" software. It's the same as a video game that doesn't function without the internet. I don't think you need to be such an ass about the distinction.
Okay you're right about the one in the image, but I was more talking about a hypothetical here, bc this guy clearly did bring a keyboard and mouse too. Some Sennheiser HD650s would be perfect imo.
You've never worn headphones with one half off your ear before? Arguably better than just putting one earbud in, because you can still hear the game audio.
Okay, but are you going to be satisfied with anything short of them saying "I'm anti-LGBT"?
