It just seems unnecessary to bring it up in every barely-related thread. We’re all aware of serious problems but not every discussion has to be taken over by the doomer mindset. I subscribe to the fun little communities to get a break from the serious shit, we don’t all need to be talking about the bad stuff all the time!

I’ve not read the details for a few years, but I’d guess there isn’t because there doesn’t need to be for the vast majority of users. Even the few who use desktop mode can manage with flatpaks, the few who can’t can use distrobox, etc.

Yeah that’s what I meant, if you really want to use pacman or one of the traditional package managers then install another distro

Could be a Steam Deck running Windows just to fuck with you

Your mum’s so bloated hackers are considering supply chain attacks on her dependencies

Your mum’s so old support for her architecture is being removed from the kernel

Your mum’s so easy I recommended new users switch to her instead of mint

etc, etc

Well that’s not what the OS is designed for, it’s designed to be simple to update and hard to break. If you really want a traditional package manager then you can just install a different OS, I guess.

The problem (well, one of the many problems) is that “AI” is a meaningless buzzword slapped on everything by marketing drones. I’m sure there are some real advances that could be made by what five years ago we’d have called “machine learning”, but the chatbots that everyone’s currently obsessing over don’t have anything to do with that.

From what I’ve read you’re probably thinking of the “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” slogan

Apparently distrobox come pre-installed. Also I don’t think there’s any rpm-ostree on steamos, that’s a Fedora Atomic thing.

Yeah looks like it’s installed by default. Can’t find an official announcement/changelog but according to an unsourced reddit thread it’s been there since steamos 3.5.

Can’t you just use distrobox directly on steamos to save changing os?

Yeah I don’t like it when they remove what are essentially accessibility features in the name of their artistic vision. A classic is something like limiting when you can pause the game.

I guess it’s a design decision so people don’t save-scum, but losing your whole game highlights a pretty massive issue with that design

That makes sense. OP mentioning save slots made me think they were habitually duplicating their entire save file after each save or something!

How would multiple save slots have helped a random bug which lost all your progress?

Isn’t that what the L for Libra means?

I did a post on it a while back, it runs on everything!

Software: Their app is clunky. Screen scaling is manual to avoid blocking content.

Do you need their software? Is it not just a controller which can be recognised by games?

I had a Symbian Nokia as my first smart-ish phone, having a web browser that could run real websites (even if you had to move the cursor around with a dpad) was absolute sci-fi. It could also run flash games, I remember getting a .swf file of pacman from a games website, copying it to my phone, and being able to run it right from the file browser.
