What about the installer? Anaconda isn’t great, but you only need about 1 minute to set the options to install and then let it do it’s job before rebooting.

Some also do have specific use cases where they work really well, like Tea Tree Oil for acne and nail fungus or Peppermint oil for nausea. Most of them don’t do anything though.

I’ve been using a Raspberry Pi 400 with LibreELEC installed. Mostly watch 4K HDR Blu-ray Remuxes that I have on another machine with a Samba server. Works really well for me.

Another good option would be to have Jellyfin on a media server and cast to the TV or use the TV directly if it has a Jellyfin app (I know there are official apps for Roku and WebOS (LG)). Jellyfin is similar to Plex but open-source and fully local (no need for an external account).

Of course, this is only works for local media. For streaming, just use a Chromecast.

Mainly because Steam actually provides a really good quality service. Most corporations over time charge more while getting worse on quality. People can sell their games for cheaper on Epic which only has a 12% fee, but Epic’s service is much worse.

They don’t really though. They’re talking about selling steam keys in a different platform, not selling the game on a different platform (like Epic Games for instance). You can sell the game for cheaper on Epic or GOG if you want to.

Wake via Bluetooth isn’t new, the OLED model has always supported it (the LCD doesn’t due to hardware). This just lets you disable it for specific devices that you don’t want to wake the Deck.

I always use it when docked. Important to note that the LCD version does not support Bluetooth wake though.

You can’t. Just wait for it to be stable

Bread and beer. The reason that modern civilization exists. Of course, the modern versions are quite different from the ancient ones

It’s priceless

A line of code that enables the backdoor was out present in the tarball. The actual code was obfuscated within an archive used for the unit testing.

I like the way kde does it. On first install it gives a slider with how much analytics you want to send. I just do all of it because I trust KDE, but it’s nice that it asks you. They probably have some pretty good data.

You seem to have a misunderstanding of how Bazzite works. It’s just a custom Fedora Atomic spin that includes things like the deck firmware updates, drivers, and gamescope. It does not run SteamOS in a container.

Bazzite uses rpm-ostree. It’s a very different system under the hood.

I actually have my ~/.cache mounted as a tmpfs. No need to write that to disk when I have like 50GB of free RAM most of the time.

“Free” memory is actually usually used for cache. So instead of waiting to get data from the disk, the system can just read it directly from RAM after the first access. The more RAM you have, the more free space you’ll have to use for cache. My machine often has over 20GB of RAM used as cache. You can see this with free -m. IIRC both Gnome and KDE’s system managers also show that now.

SteamOS updates can also be done by Discover now. But I would assume his problem is the flatpak updates.

To fix flatpak issues, there is a flatpak repair command.

I imagine you could find a lot of options. Just a quick google turned up ThinStation, which only needs 30-50MB if storage and 64MB+ of RAM. A bit outdated, but should work fine.

You could also make your own OS with LFS if you want to optimize it to the extreme.

Chrome is actually doing a lot of work to display modern webpages though. A thin client only needs to receive a video stream and send inputs to a server. That can be done with an extremely low memory footprint. The Steam Link only had 512MB of RAM and it actually ran a steam client (which contains embedded chromium) instead of acting as a pure thin client.

Skong?
