If you don't mind seperated tools that do well in their own :

• Zulip for chat
• Jitsi for video meeting
• And whatever calendar you want for the calendar

As a SteamDeck owner I must say it doesn't feel heavy at all and the weight is really well balanced, but yes it's quite bulky compared to a Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite for exemple.

I wonder why they choose to go with Manjaro and not Arch directly.

Maybed I would choose another distro such as Nobara Steam-HTPC as it has NVidia ISO. I never tried it myself as I've ditched NVidia.

You didn' aswer my questions. We can not help with such wide request.

What are your needs ? What are the services/software you want to ditch ? What are the threats you want to protect from ?

There is no universal privacy guides.

Yes you can setup steam to boot up in Big Picture mode but this isn't equal to gamescope used by bazzite, steamos or chimeraos that adds some tweaks and perks for gaming improving a console-like experience.

You can setup EmuDeck on bazzite using Desktop mode and once your controller and emulator settings are setup having your ROM library synched to your steam non-steam library and booting them from gaming-mode. So yes for setting up the emulator desktop-mode is the way to do but there is no reason to not using the HTPC ISO to get a console experience for playing RPCS3 games.

I would trade that GeForce GTX 1660 for a Radeon RX 6600 (these are cheap too) because NVidia doesn't work well with gamescope (SteamOS/Bazzite big picture console mode).

In my opinion OS is software, many people are working on it and I don't think their work is worth 0$ (maybe Windows being the exception lol).

scary.

I was looking for such a thing for my ChimeraOS machine. I like the dev's honesty about his skills and will maybe do some bug reporting !

I disagree with you however I find it attrocious than when you upgrade (exemple from ZorinOS 16 to 17) if you own a Pro licence you have to buy a new licence (with a discount) and can't "downgrade" to non-Pro (except from reinstalling it from scratch). I think the way the Pro is sold shouldn't put upgrade behind a paywall.

Selling a (bloated) Pro version to bring cash isn't necesseraly cancer it really depend on what you get and how you're treated. And with ZorinOS I was somewhat disapointed...

ZorinOS or the recent AnduinOS can be very Windows like with modernish windows sex appeal as you call it.

Edit: If a gamer you could add Nobara with its own theme or bazzite with KDE.

I totaly agree with you, I am somwheat new to the fediverse, I discovered it somewhere between 2018 and 2020 and discovered nostr a few years later, I didn't got it at first but today I understand how interesting it is to build social network or plateformes, even though that Nostr can do far more than social media.

1. Because the admin don't have to manage the authentification process of its users.
2. Because users don't rely on a central server to keep their social graphs or interact with them.
3. Because owning some private keys makes you owning your digital identities.

Of course the UX isn't as great as the fediverse or not close to centralized opaque surveillance plateforme but it has rapidly improved and I had much joy discovering the bridge builded by soapbox and really want their Ditto servers project to become a thing.

I really think that we should teach kids asymetrical cryptography at school because if we want to build a digital society we need strong encryption, true authentifications and data integrity checks. But I'm a dumb utopist...

I also think there's some really valuable ideas in [...] Nostr [...]

I think that too but when I brought that up to fedivers folks they always yell at me : IT'S A CRYPTOBRO PLATEFORM ! or THE FOUNDER IS RIGHT WING !

I really do think that digital identites on p2p network thanks to asymetrical cryptography is a better design that accounts tied to a central server. I am glad that I am not alone and will follow your project closely (I will try to at least). Interesting read thank you !

Do you know that using most P2P messenger you still rely on multiple ISP and big tech owned communication wire in order for your message to get delivered, even if there is no central server ?

I am referring at man-in-the-middle attacks

Honestly european bankster telling me they won't replace cash with CBDC (while removing more and more ATM in rural areas) and that we will be anonymous (while attacking privacy respecting companies in order to protect citizens from terrorist and money laundering) sounds like propaganda to me. But I will keep using cash as long as possible alongside Bitcoin, Lignting Network and Monero and NEVER ever enter this CBDC system.

I already did haha

What did you tweaked to achieve that ? I only had crashs with joycons when I tried to use two of them as seperate controllers but still don't know why.
