Curious to see what it can emulate with the new specs. I have the steam deck now but the form factor or the pi was always nice.

Only when there is a real need . Debian runs on everything and it is a no nonsense distro so I've been happy with that for years... Started on Debian 6 and continued until now on laptops servers and SBCs. Before that it was Ubuntu and crunchbang for a few years and before that was fedora core that came on like 6 cds with KDE3.

At this point the only interesting thing for me are security changes. Games are largely sorted due to wine , proton and vulkan and all of the great work going on there.

I keep and eye on quebesOS , NixOS, silverblue ,subgraphOS and openBSD and alpine.

The dream OS would be hardened by default. Hardened Kernel with ACLs for everything defined by default. Like each app should be required to list all of the files it accessed and the type of access in a manifest, list permissions it needs and of URLs it accesses. Obviously there is a need for some wildcard stuff but it could be limited in scope. More of the kernel in rust would be nice with legacy systems removed to reduce the technical debt.

I know we have apparmor and selinux and pax/grsec (if you pay) but I think they dont scale well and require a massive investment in time to understand and debug.

Yes I get that but personally I have a huge backlog to get through and there are lots more games the current one can run that have to come down in price too so I'll be busy for a long time before I start looking for a new one.

I'm glad they are not rushing a new one out until there is some genuine leap in the tech. I think we have become accustomed to pointless upgrades every year which offer nothing substantial other than lining some shareholders pockets.

In my case the longer they take the better 😊

Their pricing is ridiculous.

Oh i have already played it. Yes same here, I went into it blind so it was great. Emulated it too so I could speed up the grinding

Bravely default for the 3Ds or emulate it with Citra

Provides a better service and doesn't just jack up the price. Steam sales are some of the best discounts around. Embraced Linux and worked to build upon its open foundations to deliver a great handheld which is open . Great customer service in general. Obviously there will always be people pissed off but going by sales and the general vibe I think it largely favors a positive position.

I think steam is a private company so there are no shareholders to crack the whip. They seem to be good to their staff too and give back to the Linux community.

I know I used to develop for it. My point was directed at the funding . The web needs a strong alternative to chrome now more than ever. Neutering projects like servo does not help. Also most non technical people don't even know of Mozilla and anyone that does probably associates it with Firefox.

Anyway I'm downvoted for having a valid opinion. Whatever

I'll pick it up in a few years in a sale when all of the bugs are ironed out and the proved has dropped
