Im in the same boat as you. Insanity. There is a way to disable smart features (and internet/ads) after a factory reset if you dont need any apps like youtube, etc.

I already don’t but so far that hasn’t worked. Mass boycotting just doesnt exist in modern day. We don’t have enough inertia to sway the ignorant.

Seems like an SEO article. Im all for getting simplified articles easily accessible to the people who pick up a steam deck or the steamos lenovo legion and really do go “whats the difference between proton experimental and proton 7”

That giant handheld Nitro 11 looks atrocious. Happy to see handhelds entering the market after the steam deck, but this ain’t it.

Every year since the day I switched has been my year of the linux desktop

Would there be any other way to access the iTunes music/media store? I only use itunes now to buy DRM free music when its not available on bandcamp. As far as i know its been the only way to access and purchase via the itunes store on a non-apple device

Own your Computer

Funny, I have the opposite opinion. Gnome is great on laptops, especially 2in1s. KDE Plasma is a great desktop PC environment.

Touch capacitance on the stick is a gyro-must for me, so im happy to finally see a controller with this. actually just ordered this from amazon japan, didnt think it would actually get a US release.

This is my go-to linux music player purely and simply for the fact it supports winamp classic skins

There was and it was fixed by the looks of it. Guessing these apps have not urgently pulled the fixes in and released an update, so F-droid is urging people not to use the apps until so

I’ve enjoyed using the Simple Alarm Clock on F-droid, importantly for me, it requires you to hold down the shut off button for a couple seconds which helps prevent me from accidentally shutting off my alarm instead of snoozing it. Only downside for this app and possibly others is that they may not function if your device OS updates in the middle of the night.

Emulation Station Desktop Edition (ES-DE) is probably a good alternative gaming frontend similar to Playnite

I’ve decided due to running into issues as well, that my system being built on x11 for a few years means I probably wont switch to wayland until I do a fresh install to avoid any potential issues around old x11 packages i’m running

I seem to be in the unpopular opinion camp with this, but I actually really like it. I am a huge fan of the gyro+stick combo with touch capacitance, and this is the only controller to release with that steam deck touch capacitance feature. Biggest criticism I have for it is the lack of vibration, but im optimistic about this controller

Pretty much. Isolated environments to run a single service usually, although someone with more familiarity can comment further

Worse than this, was their logo video for Tony Hawk’s Underground, where Eric the rival character gets attacked and pulled into the sewers by the T.H.I.N.G. and gets reduced to bones.

Sounds like your best bet is to self host an email service

If it is M1 or M2 Asahi Linux is the way to go, but it is still in development and probably not ready for your mom
