god-awful installer
lol, it's not that bad is it? I have installed fedora on 2 of our machine without a single issue 😂
I, too, have been a longtime fan of Gnome. It's workflow IMO is quite practical and pleasant to use.
Slightly off-topic here, but have you considered Fedora? For me it just gets the job done and stays out of my way. I don't want to configure a whole bunch of things before I can get to work so I find fedora simple to use and well-integrated. Docs and forums are quite helpful too.
Maybe I'm dumb but looking at wikipedia I'm a bit confused. Seems like you can do this on almost any linux distro. What is the reason behind setting up a dedicated OS, cost of operation, stability, performance?
Just a quick note, set USB dual role device to XHCI if you're running an OS from external usb device
I installed Fedora on a external ssd connected to steam deck through a usb hub. Somehow it won't boot up after an automatic update and reboot. Error says something like "/dev/disk/by-uuid/****" does not exist, and my usb keyboard does not work at all. Turns out I've set USB dual role device to DRD and that confuses the kernel or the usb hub or the motherboard, or maybe all of them. Anyway, set it to XHCI and everything is fine again.

This sounds so dump. How else are they going to rebuild, invite everyone over to watch and party?
Original switch screen was rubbish, to put it mildly. While original Steam deck screen is in fact quite decent. It gets bright enough for indoor usage, has large viewing angle, color is ok. I can happily play my original steam deck for another one or two years. I only play on my original switch with it plugged in to a TV.
it was hard to play on the balcony
OLED should be better but I believe it'll draw a lot of power at peak brightness so playtime is quite limited without a (huge)powerbank

Aha! Reminds me of the good old days when I tried to minimize boot up time on my puny Ivy Bridge i5 laptop. Those days were fun!
The Art of UNIX Programming by ESR
Not saying this book is 100% correct and perfect, but most parts of it is still relevant and refreshingly insightful even after 20 years. I sure learned a lot about great engineering and generally how to approch and tackle difficult problems from it.
The other day I was on KDE on steam deck desktop mode and could not wake from sleep, not sure if it's a KDE thing or steam os thing though.
Wow I didn't know about this, thanks for the reading! I always feel morally in debt for using Wikipedia without giving back much and assume they were struggling a bit to operate, but wow they have received millions of dollars already!
edit: I'm still willing to donate though, and I just did, like I'm happy to pay for what I've learned from it, even if it doesn't mean much to them.
Do you donate to Wikipedia? Why or why not?
Every so often I give a few bucks(far less than the worth of knowledge I got from it)
Usually just names/lyrics of my favorite songs
iPhone: ByeByeBaby
AirPods: You're on your own, kid
Laptop: InnerMonologue
Except just for fun, I named my HomePod Cortana
Nice view! Also was it a pain in the ass(literally) to ride on rough surface? I'm really interested and plan to purchase my first bicycle this year:)
Yeah the weight too, current steam deck weighs about 600g which is okay-ish but I would love to see a lightweight version, something like the ps4->ps4slim upgrade.
