It’s so smart. It’s a wonder why no one ever thought of it before…

My Dell Latitude was that way except the fingerprint reader. Dell’s website even has Linux drivers for my laptop, nearly everything but the fingerprint reader except a Windows only driver.

This was Zorin for me.

Dual screen worked without issue on live USB. Installed on metal and dual screen no longer worked…

Never got it figured out. I just moved to a different distro.

They need to pick a new color for those analog sticks because they look absolutely gross. Like they’ve been used by everyone for years and it’s stained with bits of food and other residue.

Minor thing on my part, but first thing that came to mind seeing that picture.

128GB are even cheaper, some in the $10 USD range.

If all you do is web browsing and word processing, that’s more than enough.

Framework has a few options now so you’ll need to be specific on the particular one you’re eyeing from them. And whatever choice that would be, you can do some benchmarks between their core hardware like AGPU, etc. to see how well it would stack up based on paper statistics.

But as much as I love my Steam Deck (LCD), it is starting to show its age for newer titles out there. I want to say this started with the Liberty DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 where I began noticing it. The base Cyberpunk game plays very well on the Steam Deck but any interactions in the newer parts of the map shows a decrease in frame rates and increased fan speed.

If you’re mainly playing older titles, emulating older games (can go up to Xbox 360 and PS3 with most issues in that era), or for streaming from a more capable computer, then the Steam Deck should be a good choice.

Though, I agree with someone else here that productivity can be a bit difficult on the Steam Deck unless you go for a keyboard that folds up and is made for it and feels comfortable. It’ll be more clunky to haul around like from class to class, for example, than a standard laptop would be. Though be aware that you’ll probably be using a Bluetooth keyboard, so that’s one more device to ensure is charged up. And speaking of batteries, the Steam Deck’s battery life is something you’ll want to consider and compare to another laptop like the Framework if you plan to take it with you on mobile like class to class or for studying in the library, a coffee shop, etc. My Steam Deck’s battery life has significantly decreased since using it, but I can’t exactly say what the life is like for productivity since I’m usually gaming on it and that takes a lot.

And on that note, USB devices like a keyboard do work with the Steam Deck with no issues, but you’ll want a dongle and that is going to add to bulkiness and more to carry since it only has 1 USB type C port which it also shares for charging.

Also, the choice of SteamOS could be a problem depending on what you want to do since it’s an immutable OS. If you’re just gaming and word processing, then it should be fine. But if you hope to do some tinkering in the system, you’re going to have problems there than if you went with a non-immutable distro. Of course you can install any other distro on it, including going to Windows, if you wished, but you lose out on the superior, made-for SteamOS gaming features and modes built for the Steam Deck.

Emulation is top notch on it too. I go back and forth playing Steam games and emulated games.

I’ve been replaying a ton of games I played as a kid. Even stuff I was playing as a teen/young adult in the 360 era sometimes works on this thing!

We get it too when using virtual desktops in the cloud at work. It’s hilarious.

I just wish I had a way to block them. Sometimes I’m troubleshooting or researching and a Reddit thread pops up. It’s a waste of space since I can’t even visit the damn site.

Biggest downside is Windows always rebooting after updates, and if I don’t sit there, it boots back into Linux as it’s the first option in Grub.

This is why I edited Grub to not timeout and instead wait for me to make a selection.

Can be done by running

sudo vim /etc/default/grub

Can also use nano or some other editor than vim too.

And changing GRUB_TIMEOUT=X to GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1 or a larger value to give you more time if you prefer to have it timeout eventually. -1 disables the countdown to auto select entirely.

And then run

update-grub

To have the changes confirmed.

I do this because I use Windows about half and Linux the other half so letting me make my decision works best for me.

Thanks! Just tried and yeah, no noticeable difference lol.

That logo made me think this was named Logics Pain +

Honestly I’m glad for progress too. But to me, it’s still not enough. I’m glad I didn’t get any comments about how little it was like I was thinking. I don’t care how little trash it is, I don’t want to see ANY of it! I think that’s what got me so enraged because I’ve been coming to this property for decades and never seen any amounts of trash and to see these straight up infuriated me.

I went to Iceland a few years ago and it was so clean. I couldn’t find one bit of trash anywhere, in any place of the country we visited. It made me feel sick to my stomach comparing it to my home where trash has become a literal part of the city streets. Gum and other spots and little bits of random trash fly around and it’s just another day for us.

I want so much better for our planet and society as a whole. It kills me being on a hiking trail and seeing the littlest bit of trash in the middle of nowhere. Takes me out of the experience and reminds me of the state of filth we live in and just feels so wrong to do to the one place where humans are not permanent, let alone our own neighborhoods.

I had no idea what it was like before my time, but it feels good to know we’ve gotten better about it, in some respects, especially judging by that picture. Glad we had people like you helping to make things better.

I thought about doing it to his cars since I don’t know where he lives. But I figured that might be just making it go back to where it came from, whether he gets mad and throws it somewhere else or it blows away. I’m not sure when he gets back too. He’s parking his cars here because he’s moving out of state and just wants to keep them here temporarily, so no idea when he’d get back to ensure he gets back his “lost property”.

Agreed, I couldn’t find a community named that accurately described my emotions. This will have to do.

I always remember the neon signs 99 Cents stores used to have saying “nothing over 99 cents ever!”

I wonder if that was intentional since OP hates copy pasting enough to equate with…something else that’s very distasteful online.

Lemmy’s isn’t jokes as much as something the community is going to circlejerk and rage over for the millionth and a half time.

I don’t even go to the comments on some things anymore because I just know it’s going to be someone raging over something and everyone else joining in.

I used to play a game with myself and try to guess the top comments on a Reddit thread. I was usually accurate…

Post about a box? Top comment is going to be about the cumbox.

Post about broken bones? Top comment is about sexual activities with mother.

Post about a toilet? Top comment is about a poop knife.
