Nostr gets rid of the notion of servers and admins. At a high level everyone on nostr owns their own account (no central instance). When you want to post something you send your content to a list of relays you choose.

Other people can choose what relays they want to subscribe to.

Relays can block people from subscribing or posting.

Everything is cryptographically secured so there is no way for someone to pretend to be you.

Lemmy is different where the instance admin has complete control. Admins can post as you and users cannot easily migrate to a different server.

If you stream games or play multiplayer you may want to consider disabling that anyway as it dramatically improves the WIFI speed and reliability.

Most of the time it’s pretty simple to play non-Steam games. It’s made even better with Decky and SteamGridDB.

In a similar vain, enabling ssh and using that for config or moving files around has saved me a lot of typing.

My understanding is many SD cards have sub-optimal wear leveling compared with SSDs so there may be more to it than just writes per sector.

If it helps, I took mine apart this last weekend with no issues whatsoever.

No typo. I had my games on a 1TB microSD card and now they are on a 2TB SSD.

SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I. I play a lot of Diablo IV and Forza Horizon 5 and the loading screens are much faster.

My observation is that the SD card tops out around 30mb/s.

I did this for a while until recently I put in a 2TB SSD and the performance difference is night and day.

I at least suspect there will be a community porting some variant of SteamOS to the more popular handhelds.

Sometimes I’ll find myself streaming the Xbox or PS5 on the couch in front of the TV with it turned off.

Before I got a Deck I thought the hype could not be real. It’s over a year later and I still can’t put it down.

Not only does it work well for Steam games, it’s also really convenient for streaming PlayStation and Xbox games.

Diablo IV runs really well on the Steam Deck.

Advanced data protection is across your entire account, not per device. According to Apple’s documentation they rotate the keys locally on your devices and then delete them from their services so they no longer have a key to give.

+1 If you can’t clearly state why you need Windows, you’ll probably be happier on Steam OS.

Diablo IV runs great on the Steam Deck and low-end PCs. I’d lean toward PC since you don’t need to pay every month for for online access and it will work on your PC and Deck.
