In the US it will be all rusty old death traps.

This description already applies to new Cybertrucks.

Couple things there are many computer users that don’t play games like for example me.

And in which credible statistic are those?

Enterprise Linux is not the same as a container

Of course not but you didn’t specifically say desktop-only Ubuntu/… installs and Ubuntu is still very popular in containers that never see any desktop. Ubuntu also ships Plasma, flagship DE or not.

I’m not sure there are more Steam OS installs than RHEL/SUSE/Ubuntu installs.

Of course not, if you phrase it like that. According to your phrasing non-desktop container setups also count but they don’t.

Distributions like Ubuntu also ship Plasma. The preconfigured disk image is called Kubuntu but that’s still Ubuntu and counts as that in Steam’s surveys which I consider the most reliable source of what actual GUI Linux users actually use.

I must admit that I fail to see what good that could do.

In theory the one place where you can enter your Nextcloud or whatever credentials and syncing for calendar, mails, file storage ect. happens automatically everywhere after confirming which services should connect.

It’s not my personal must have feature but when it works, it’s alright.

yea, gnome is “more popular”. doesn’t mean it’s “better”, just that it’s the default environment for some of the most widely-used distributions.

But not SteamOS which has the numbers on its side. Not that Gnome is unpopular but Steam Deck single-handedly pulled in millions of users who at least occasionally switch from game mode to desktop mode (=Plasma) to install emulators and stuff.

Here in Germany the 1TB Steam Deck is €919 and the Ally X is €899. Not a huge difference but still.

I’m happy that I already have a Deck OLED but if I didn’t, at this point I’d rather get an Asus ROG Xbox Ally X and install the latest beta of vanilla SteamOS (the beta officially supports it). Not because I’m a massive fan of that thing but because it’s cheaper at this point.

For hardware manufacturers like Nvidia: Massively.

So far all updates made it to Steam. The engine update will likely be barely noticeable. Wasn’t when Fortnite did it.

Apples are part of trees and I eat those. Maybe I should switch my diet towards polluting industrialists.

If you read the comment I replied to, you’ll notice that it being 10 years ago is the point.

How else would server-side AI summaries work? Don’t need insider knowledge here, just a bit of common sense.

Sent naughty messages on “secure” services in the past and now making sure they stay buried?

Star Citizen is a cult.

For those confused, I’m pretty sure the odd value sent is meant to indicate he sent what he could, or all he had left

You wouldn’t ask the bro who barely has anything left for money in the first place.

Cool, now check how much an Apple case with keyboard + trackpad for the iPad costs.

How is retail price related to Apple’s cost of manufacturing of a simple keyboard without touch ID?

And RAM compression is free?

Of course not but I’m not aware of a different impact on performance compared to macOS.

they seem to have better memory management than windows

Windows has RAM compression by default since quite some time.

Honor, ASUS, and HP are the first to ship laptops powered by Intel Wildcat Lake CPUs

Considering this is an article about shipping notebooks, the lack of product photos is astonishing.
