I flip flopped a bit over the years on my laptop, right now I’m on KDE as I feel it’s the better DE at this time.
On the desktop I’d always go with KDE, no question.

Well, you’re probably right, but they could also work on two things at a time, it’s not like Valve is a single person…

Switch is more portable and also easier to dock.

I’ve layered zsh, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting and syncthing. The first three because the version from homebrew behaved weird, syncthing because I’ve got two users on this computer and
systemctl enable syncthing@useris easier than dealing with podman containers right now. - Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 2 weeks ago:
As a long time Fedora user, it’s difficult to convince other Linux users of how reliable it is. I’ve used it on multiple computers for I think about a decade and I’ve rarely had problems, certainly fewer than I had with Windows.
Last week I finally parted with standard Fedora to try out an immutable version, right now it’s Bazzite… I’ve got to say it’s very cool, for some things it may be better for beginners, but for most I’d say it’s better to stick to the normal ones.
I think it’s better with KDE, though, especially if you’ve got multiple monitors with different pixel densities.

That’s what free software advocates have been telling everyone for decades. When you use proprietary software licensed to you, you have no agency in what becomes of it, they can force you to accept changes that you don’t agree with, violate your privacy, take what you thought you owned from you.
People give up freedom for convenience and treat those that don’t as crazy misguided idealists, thinking they’re fools for using less convenient and sometimes powerful fools for pointless principles only they care about… Meanwhile, if everyone was just a tiny bit like the crazy idealists, these companies wouldn’t be able to abuse their position because a modicum of resistance from everyone would be an overwhelming force for them.
Some will say it’s dumb being idealist about computer software, but aside from computer software being serious fucking business, the practices of these companies are what birthed disposable, unrepairable electronics, privacy erosion, robber AIs and so on. Do you think a tech industry dominated by free software supporters would have allowed the rise of people like Bezos, Zuckerberg or Musk? - Comment on Intel CEO announces layoffs, restructuring, $1.5 billion in cost reductions, expanded return to office mandate 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on This Steam Deck mount looks silly, but greatly reduces the risk of dropping Valve's handheld on your face while gaming in bed 3 months ago:
It’s a GoPro mount so you can probably find accessories to attach it to your kitchen aid if you want
- Comment on This Steam Deck mount looks silly, but greatly reduces the risk of dropping Valve's handheld on your face while gaming in bed 3 months ago:
The GoPro Mount is made by Mechanism, creators of Deckmate and its associated ecosystem. That means that you’ll need the sold separately Deckmate grip before you can even attempt to strap your Steam Deck onto your GoPro harness. I mean, you could 3d print it as well

I’ve enjoyed Hot Wheels Unleashed, 1 & 2. Super-super-arcadey.

For something different you can try The Room games. Definitely not life changing but atypical.

What genre? Those are some peculiar games. I guess you might like Strange Horticulture.
Otherwise for a mix bag: TPS/Adventure: Horizon Zero Dawn Arcade racing: Hot Wheels Unleashed TPG: Baldur’s Gate 3 FPS: Halo Master Chief Collection

Do these other handhelds sell enough to justify all these different devices?

What’s with the hostility?
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 1 year ago:
Problem is, any occasional performance issue with Proton on the Deck can be justified with “it’s an underpowered portable”, if it happens on a powerful PC, people aren’t going to be as forgiving.

- Comment on No Rest For The Wicked will be playable on Steam Deck, although recommended PC specs may be a worry 1 year ago:
I’ve played multiple games on the Deck at 30-40 and it’s absolutely ok. Dips to 20 happen too, they are pretty annoying, but what can you do?

Yeah they own half of the game developers in the world, I don’t think they’re worried. If anything, they practically negated Valve’s efforts to free themselves from MS’s whims. All these megacorps need to be broken up.
