I too prefer big distros, but niche distros are usually big distros with small tweaks in the default config or installed packages. It’s Debian/Fedora/Arch slightly tweaked.

I don’t hate Windows, I don’t care about it. I don’t use it.

I have to say, as a Linux fan in the 90’s it was very cool to see Linux eating the whole server space, replacing older Unix while Microsoft tried desperately to grow Window on the server market.

Don’t try zsh, because you won’t be able to go back to bash after that 😉

Nothing in particular, for the past few years I didn’t like the direction Ubuntu was taking but I stayed because I was too lazy to switch and it didn’t feel that bad.

So I’m not sure exactly what was the last straw, maybe part of it was me getting a Steam Deck, discovering flatpak and understanding how bad snap was compared to it.

• In the 90’s: Slackware, then RedHat, then Debian, then Progeny (Debian based), then shortly Mandrake (RedHat based)

• Early 2000’s: RedHat Japanese edition, TurboLinux (because I was in Japan and Japanese IME was almost impossible to get working on non-Japanese distributions)

• Then I had fun with Gentoo looking at my terminal compiling stuff everyday and fixing broken package because I followed advices to activate crazy compilation flags

• 2004: Ubuntu, that I used for nearly 20 years

• Last year: switched to Fedora

It’s a bad idea because you can get a regular laptop and AR glasses just as light as those. Check nreal, rokid…

This way you can use the laptop as a regular laptop and the glasses with other devices.

It’s neither. The French “U” sound doesn’t exist in English so I can’t really give an example from an English word.

That said, being a global company they’re probably fine with the default English pronunciation that would be “you be soft”.

I’d say it’s just the latest innovation in procedural generation. But it’s still just that.

Yes, autocorrect messed it up

Oh it’s the continuation of XMMS, I have found memory of using that!

It’s slow and you depend on the wind blowing.

If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn’t switch to petroleum for the fun of it. Environmental issues put aside it’s a pretty great source of energy.

Well there is a reason we stopped using those.

What’s wrong, only that it breaks mods or does it break even for regular usage?

It is very well produced but there is very little actual content. He kept showing the same clips and saying the same thing over and over.

Bottom line is “in Steam Deck reviews, media is claiming Linux is complex without any proof or example.” You don’t need 5 full minutes to say that.

It’s been 8 years. If they still need humans to check they’ll always need them.

On a docked Steam Deck, yes sure. It’s a perfectly good desktop replacement.

On any other PC, I would recommend a traditional distribution over Steam OS.

Honestly, I don’t miss Internet April Fools.

It was funny 20 years ago when Google started doing it, fun to see high quality april fools from big established companies. But it got old very fast.

The problem is when people then open huge PRs and expect you to take time to review them, then eventually merge them.

Especially when it’s something you don’t want in your codebase because it introduce a big unnecessary “refactoring” or a feature that you don’t want to have to maintain forever.

That’s the thing, Valve is in this position because they have the Steam cash cow. Other video games company can’t do the same.
