I believe modrinth will be expanding to be more than Minecraft mods iirc.

We really went from

2D platformer saturated To 3D platformer saturated To FPS saturated To Sandbox Saturated To 50+ hour $70 incomplete open world saturated

This is a FUD panic article. Trying to invoke the steam machine debacle to make the steamdeck fail is a poor tactic.

Confusion and inconsistency alongside varying prices and compatibility made the steam machines fail.

There is one* SteamDeck. Valve only advertises The Steam Deck.

We’re not getting an Asus deck or a Gigabyte deck. And I’ve heard people in the wild talk about the deck in a positive light. The Steam deck is never going to be like the steam machines.

*one in the sense that there is one model without drastic changes in design. Although the Glare-resistant screen is an outlier, most consoles have tiers of storage and even a pro/normal variant model.

I mean it is tho. It’s just not easy to get working when your system uses Nvidia graphics.

Why is it not “risc it for a biscuit”?

Head Accountant: “Sir, our stocks have plummeted to Zero!” Eric:

Maybe in a server environment it may be. But even in my home server setup, arch just works.

I even took the easy way out with archinstall for both.

I know that’s not very “I use arch btw” of me, but my server’s hardware literally died before my arch install did. And then I just dropped it into new hardware and it just worked.

I’ve been running that server for 2 years, and my Desktop for less than 1 on raw arch. I used to use Manjaro but I switched to Arch because Manjaro’s packages were always annoyingly neglected. The amount of Times I had to circumvent Manjaro’s repositories to install the latest discord was rediculous. But even with Manjaro, my install never bricked.

I’ve had Debian based installs like Ubuntu and Pop Os all brick before. Trying to do Qemu or edit some grub options and poof broken.

Don’t know why, double, triple checked what the guide said.

But it still broke. And I think that’s mostly because Unlike arch, most user friendly distros assume the user either isnt going to use these power user features or can just use online guides.

Problem is online guides frequently go out of date.

The arch wiki is always pretty consistently up to date enough not to cause issues. That random no-name website article is not.

Pop_OS - Fragile Beginner Distro, this is fine to use so long as you’re not a power user, but you’re using Linux so…

Manjaro - Maintain your damn repos, why is it whenever discord updates, the repo is so far out of date I literally have to circumvent it and install it through some hacky bullshit?

Ubuntu - Snap? More like Thanos Snapd off my damn drive thank you very much.

Fedora - just overrated, nothing terribly against it, just don’t think it’s all it’s cracked up to be. It’s just a RHEL adjacent Distro.

Linux Mint - aside from Debian edition, its pretty overrated. It’s easy compatible Ubuntu. It’s not super Ubuntu or anything.

Pop_OS!

Manjaro

Ubuntu

Fedora

Linux Mint

Glad to see all these companies coming together to support the steamdeck.

Common Triple A L.

TSMC doesn’t make everything.

There are morally abhorrent chip manufacturers in South Korea and Japan as well.

Probably using VP9 or AV1 codec now and didn’t want to pay for HEVC.

VP9 and AV1 are open codecs. and AV1 > H.265

This could really get the ball rolling
