An opportunity to get cozy with the president, to have paid accounts without moderation features

I hate it when people use multiple metric prefixes, a trillion terrawatts is a quettawatt. Also hate it when news reports use “a million gigabytes”, like please just use a petabyte, it is way more impressive anyway.

Yes, also one of my use cases and not worth a zuck-strap-on for me.

I am a Linux user, I dual boot Kubuntu and Windows.

On Friday I bought a new game on steam, checked on protondb and it is platinum, tried to launch it and it failed. I tried 4 different proton compatability modes and it failed to launch each time. While I am a sysadmin and am well capable of troubleshooting it, I really just wanted to play that game so I rebooted into windows.

If I hadn’t had that other win11 SSD in my machine, I would have had to not play that game because I had no energy to troubleshoot that on a friday night after fighting with linux all day at work.

Tldr: some times Linux is a seemless as Windows, but not always, even when it is supposed to be and is for others. Even if you have that activate windows watermark.

When submitting issues, I live in constant fear of creating duplicates.

I wonder if the Steam Frame is the codename deckard. I was really excited for that because it was supposed to have Steam Deck performance, but with an Arm processor that will be hard since most games need an emulation layer.
