I’d drop android in a heartbeat if my banking app supported mobile linux (and I had a good phone that would work with it, my current phone has a locked boot loader sadly)
I swear the Deck’s announcement was perfectly timed, at least for me. It was right as I was having major problems with windows and even then proton kinda just worked for me, and it’s only gotten better sense!
I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....
The new Valve Steam Deck OLED didn’t just change the screen: Almost every part of the device has had some sort of revision, from the screws to the power topology of the motherboard.

I’m glad your path to linux was less volatile than mine, I ran away from windows becouse my computer would not stop blue screening even after I re installed the OS, Funny thing is it works just fine on linux and I’ve had no issues
Emulation is from one architecture to another, translation layers like wine just translate windows instructions to linux, see also: every WIP ps4 “emulator” is just a translation layer, and doesn’t have the over head that it would if it was your traditional emulator
It’s funny to me becouse these days with all the remote software reinstallation and asking why you want to close one drive and things, windows isn’t exactly very personal either
While I don’t necessarily share that opinion on Jodie, that is why I hope she does Big Finish, they have taken my most hated Doctors (Colin Baker and Paul Mcgann) and turned them into two of my favorites
Honestly I don’t get why Gnome is standard for so many distros, if that’s your thing sure but I feel like KDE makes more sense as a default (unless you’re going for more of an apple feel)

What is the best distro for gaming?
I know gaming has gotten a lot better on Linux and I’m working on a new PC and I’m wondering which distro to try.
