My frustration is primarily with idiots who can’t explain themselves well while thinking they know better
Somewhat understandable but you really should edit your comments and get rid of the expletives. You went hard really fast and there are different ways to get your point across.
Why would I? My argument is that their iGPUs are a better pick for notebooks.
That’s the old dGPU.
The 16" dGPU “upgrade” is Nvidia shit.
The swappable GPU has been a let down for me. For ages no upgrades. Might just as well get the 13" and swap the main board every so often. There the upgrades were more frequent.
is that supposed to be good or bad? A lot or a little?
Neither. It’s reporting, not an opinion piece.
That article seems to be making a heck of a lof of excuses.
No, it doesn’t.
The hard pivot from “the Deck is an unmitigated success!” to immediately, quietly admitting it hasn’t outsold any actual handheld console is… kinda weird.
It sold millions in a market that was up to Deck’s launch owned by small manufacturers that sold on crowdfunding platforms in production runs that may have been only in the tens of thousands. Stating that Steam Deck is a success is not a contradiction to Nintendo Switch being an enormous success.
Probably a few more but all users of the Flatpak versions are lumped together no matter if they use Arch or Fedora.
That link comes up with an error.
Probably because you use a client that tries to open the link locally. OP deleted the post and that’s why Lemmy cannot open its comments any longer, hence the Mastodon link that works fine in a web browser.
Do you know which software it is that is/was in the universe repo?
Pretty much everything except the base OS and Gnome.
How are Nvidia leaving out older stuff for Nouveau? I don’t understand.
Ancient NVidia should be supported by Nouveau by now, no?
Other than snaps, what else are they doing wrong?
Kubuntu comes with mandatory Ubuntu enshittification, though. All official Ubuntu flavors do.
I would even argue as long as someone isn’t messing with a niche distro such as KDE Neon
KDE Neon is dead because its developers found out that putting an add-on repository on top of Ubuntu is not reliable at all. That’s why KDE Linux is now in development.
Atomic distros have a set-back of having to deal with Package Layering in the case of those that aren’t found on Flathub. That’s a bit outside of the wheelhouse of a non-tech savvy person.
Today’s non-tech savvy persons usually want Chrome, VLC, and Steam. Yes, there are exceptions but I set up Linux PCs for a few people with unsupported Windows versions recently and they are just fine with that because all they do is to access web services from Chrome, playing back the occasional downloaded media file, and some games.
the seemingly endless random named things
When you dig down for a bit, you’ll even find out that Bazzite is merely the gaming flavor of “Universal Blue” and the generic desktop (without gaming stuff installed) is called Aurora.
I am always trying to steer new users away from Cinnamon, which means away from Mint.
I’m not a fan of Ubuntu and its derivates in general (short version of the reason: Ubuntu continues to enshittify, its derivatives fight an increasingly harder battle to apply plasters to fix Ubuntu) and the reality since a few years is that an increasing number of people become familiar with SteamOS, its immutability and Flatpak use, so the old battle ground of .deb vs .rpm, where system config files are stored, etc. has just outlived itself. “A Ubuntu variant is the best because that’s what online tutorials are about” is no longer relevant for the vast majority of people.
A wrapper to use apt commands for rpm packages. It’s just there to help with muscle memory.
Hey GameStop. Just wondering: Where are Song of the Deep 2 and 3? Can’t you count to 3?
Reaper and Bitwig Studio are familiar apps for many audio producers.

Not tried it but it’s a Flatpak. I’d say it’s a positive.
