  • As a Linux user, this post is exhausting.

    SteamOS is exciting. Many people had their first proper experience of using Linux with the steamdeck and many of those thoroughly enjoy the experience. I imagine its a great comfort to know that your OS is being supported by the same people who gave you such a great experience in the past.

    I’m sure theres a tiny fraction of people who absolutely are just moving the goalpost over and over, but most people just want something that works for them with minimal friction. SteamOS will do that, and it’ll be familiar.











  • Ailments of the mind (depression, anhedonia, as others have mentioned) can make it literally impossible to enjoy life, at their worst.

    Trauma, PTSD, cptsd, constant hatred, bigotry, bullying, divorce, losing loved ones, drifting away from loved ones. Theres a million things that can pile on top of you if you’re unfortunate enough to suffer them. With time, treatment, and incredibly hard work, you can maybe find your way out of some of the deeper holes. But for many, that is not a luxury they have.

    I am fortunate enough to have climbed a good way out of my deepest holes. But theres a version of me in a different timeline who made just 1 different choice and never found her joy again.

    You can’t make people see the beauty of the moon, because their world - unseen to you - may be far too cloudy. You can, however, help them weather the storm until they find their way out. Be patient, be kind, be selfless.
