Firefox is also really good on Android these days. I use that with all the usual ad blocking and privacy extensions I have on desktop.

Yes! Glad to see that others have an eye on this. This is made by the developers of Craftopia, and if you’ve seen that game, you’d have no doubts that they will at least try desperately to make the promised features work. It isn’t unlikely that it will be a technical disaster, but I’m sure it will be fun.

Not what I said at all. But when you are switching from a platform whose issues are familiar and already factored into your workflow to a new one, the new platform has to justify itself despite those new issues. I’m an avid Linux user and could not imagine going back to Windows for work, but we can’t expect people to deal with new issues when they are already exhausted by old ones. The experience has to be better in basically every way to convince people who aren’t actively interested to switch. I think with the dust settling in audio and video stuff and the new crop of sleek DEs we are getting close to that, but for many people Windows is a better experience despite all those problems, because everything else is still that much simpler. Control does not necessitate complexity, and Linux is still more complex.

I use Arch (btw) because for me it just works. Minimal system packages, most things installed as flatpaks.

Damn, sorry to hear that, my experience with the 480 was really good. Admittedly AMD wasn’t quite caught up yet with hardware video encoding at the time that card was designed (basically a reskinned 480). Specifically, hardware video encoding has gotten drastically better since then on AMD cards.

I worked in a print store and brother those huge xerox machines are no joke. Tens of thousands of pages with minimal maintenance and downtime. Consumer printers are often terrible, especially inkjets, but this just seems like you’ve never used a nice one before. The problem is most people would rather pay 50 dollars for a really terrible printer to print with it 20 times rather than just order 20 prints from a shop or cough up a couple hundred for a really well made printer, laser or no.

ALVR works great, assuming SteamVR in general works with your DE (no Gnome support atm but KDE works for sure).

Been using it exclusively for about a year. Very satisfied with the performance. It is a very no-nonsense service. They provide a VPN, anonymous payment options, and a flat rate regardless how much you buy at a time or when you buy (which is personally a big plus for me). They don’t bug you to renew, and they don’t offer any sort of auto-renewal. The only downside I could see is that if you are looking for a VPN provider that offers a large suite of privacy-adjacent tools labeled as a VPN app, you would be disappointed.

Good news! It does! My desktop was out of commission for a while due to a hardware issue, and I used my Steam Deck exclusively as my PC during that time. Hunt ran fine, with anti-cheat working, and I even racked up some kills and wins (with mouse and keyboard and a monitor ofc and at 720p). The handheld experience would be rough but obviously playing Hunt against PC players with a controller would be nearly impossible in 3 star and up.
