  • I don't think Gabe has any interest in that. He's so filthy rich, at this point everything is just a hobby paid from change he found under a couch cushion.

    Also: EA cannot afford Valve.

  • You're single-handedly saving this entire thread. I was about to delete it for being off topic.

  • What do you care about a year old post?

    It showed up at the top for whatever reason.

  • I’m not running SteamOS.

    And I was asking why you were posting that in the Steam Deck community. It's off topic.

  • I guess we'll see if he'll drive somewhere else. Having a former F1 driver in the roster is lucrative for teams because it attracts sponsors. Jack Aitken replaced George Russell at Williams for only one race and didn't even last that long there, yet, he's now "former F1 driver Jack Aitken". Also, it turned out he's a great sportscar driver who's now racing Cadillac's hypercar in IMSA.

    The upcoming season in an LMP2 would be a good indicator of Sargeant's performance. It makes little sense to fire him before that, unless there are non-performance reasons to do so.

  • Steam’s keyboard doesn’t work on Plasma-Wayland at all.

    Steam Deck doesn't use Plasma Wayland, so what is your post doing here? Once Valve ship a SteamOS version with Plasma 6 on Wayland, they'll have a working solution.

  • Meaning separate alternative platforms for each Google product

    Except for Maps Nextcloud offers it all, though. It's not like there is any benefit of using Google Maps and GMail because there are no synergies at all.

  • I could do all those separately, I guess, but why would I?

    You use Google Calendar as your maps app? Google Maps is separate from Google Calendar.

  • You still need a HDR-capable screen.

  • it makes sense, now, why Valve would choose KDE for the Steam Deck (which has a touchscreen).

    I like my Steam Deck but I must be honest here: Desktop Mode, which is Plasma 5 and not the latest 6.x release, is trash on that touch screen. It just a shrunken regular desktop. You can use some environment variables to affect a few QtQuick applications but the results are mixed. There are KDE applications what are designed for mobile but don't even consider the possibility of anything but portrait screen orientation. SteamOS doesn't ship with a proper Maliit keyboard, it's just Steam's built-in one which never pops up automatically outside of Steam and Steam games.

    Plasma 5 on that tiny screen isn't enjoyable at all. It kinda, sorta works but I'm happy the touch pads exist.

  • uh there’s plenty of Russian influence here already.

    Entire instances were built around it.

  • People use the official Reddit app voluntarily?

  • No Lemmy 1.0 preparation commits, though.

  • I've got a couple of reports that this is not about the Fediverse. It took me a while to be able to look at the reports and since some almost entirely Lemmy-focused discussions have taken place, so I'm leaving this post up because of the discussions.

    This is not a precedent to post random off topic stuff, though.

  • It’s kinda funny that as a seasoned Linux user, I never had to edit fstab for years. I just use Gnome Disks if I need automount or format a USB drive.

    LucidNightmare tries artificially complicated ways for niche use cases instead of going the straightforward path and then complains all the time how bad Linux isn't for average users, as if those would meddle with network drives, disk partitions, etc. at all.

  • Also, we’re talking average users here

    Ah yes, the average user who deals with mounting hard disk partitions all the time…

  • We were talking about average users.

    I work in IT. I see average users all the time. They don't even know drag and drop is a thing. One tool my employer is a distributor for heavily relies on drag and drop for a specific feature (adding and reordering favorites).

    It's like explaining eating soup with a spoon to a baby.

  • windows took away moving the task bar.

    Only by default. It can be put in its proper place with an addon like Start11. Obviously it would be better if MS put the option back but I also Installed 3rd party Gnome extension when I was still a Gnome user, so not too different in that regard.

  • A steam deck isnt practical for a lot of things

    I use a docked Steam Deck with external monitor, keyboard, and mouse all the time. It's a regular PC.

    (i assume from pictures, i dont own one)

    Then watch video reviews as well. Your lack of knowledge doesn't invalidate what I wrote. This is literally the first result on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ0KxIzdyR8

    Its also pretty expensive by my countries standard

    It's not expensive by comparison to other PCs with similar hardware.
