2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Unless you referring specifically to the original deck's screen, I dont see a point in paying way more for specs that if you try using will get you a battery life of 30min.

    And as someone who thought the trackpads were pointless: they make a lot of games you wouldn't expect perfectly playable. I personally have been playing stellaris on the deck and it's been great.

    If you don't mind being plugged in then the better specs can be used without having to worry about the battery, some options have a bigger screen and better resolution, some options have a bigger battery than the Deck (double the Deck's battery in the Ally X) , as I mentioned the trackpad isn't essential to everyone (if you're always playing games with controllers anyway, you're probably not playing RTS or city builders)...

    It's ok for the Deck to not be the only option people should consider, it's nice of Valve to develop stuff, it's a good thing that they have competitors.
