Think? I have one, and I’ve had it for just over two years.

It’s a portable PC with joysticks for it’s primary input.

Even the sales page refers to it being a portable PC and only “console-like”.

https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck

Powerful, portable PC gaming, designed for comfort and a console-like user experience.

It provides a KDE desktop out of the box. It’s not locked down, there is nothing console about it except in vague appearance because it comes with joysticks. If it lets my write my own code (which it does) and run them (which it does) then it is a general purpose computer.

Ergonomically I would plug in a keyboard rather than write Python on the touchscreen, but I would do that with a desktop too.

It’s okay that your wrong. It’s obvious that you’ve never used one, or really understand what it is. Which is a general purpose computing device.

I can, but you seem to be confused as to what a Steam Deck is.

You do know it is one click to the desktop, right?

It just starts the machine in big picture mode but is doesn’t require you to crash steam to access the rest of the OS. It’s just starting with a controller friendly interface because the primary purpose is gaming but they don’t hide Linux from you.

You can use general purpose one to only run one app 99% of the time, but it’s a general purpose personal computer you’re using.

So they are running Linux? Because you don’t need to hack/root/magic keypress to access other applications.

That sounds like the majority of users. I’m trying to think of how many times I needed to “use Linux”.

I interact with Firefox, IntelliJ, and a few other applications and IntelliJ hides all of the CLI so I don’t have to know git, and I don’t have to know where my files are.

My mother wouldn’t know how to install a driver in Windows, or even how to navigate to a file in Explorer. Does that mean she isn’t a Windows user?

I think you are being overly pessimistic about what counts as a user.

I’ve used MacOS for about 20 years, and it’s a shit show. But…

Where are your files?

They are in my user folder, same as every other OS. I can see them all in Finder. Root is hidden, but that’s options “tick box to display disks”.

What is happening at full screen

So what you would consider maximise is “move to new dedicated virtual desktop”, but you can also cmd+click maximise, drag to the top to traditional maximise or left/right for half screen.

I will say macs are great when you get used it, especially if you use keyboard shortcuts.

I’d say the opposite. How do I move this window to the next desktop using shortcut keys? You have to display desktops and then drag or to the desktop you want. No real shortcut for a basic feature.

Emoji picker also seems to be broken, so when adding something on a chat I have to navigate with keyboard because clicking on the emoji I want works about 50% of the time, they rest of the time it just closes the window.

They don’t run Windows they run Explorer.

Linux is a kernel. They run Linux.

Or do you mean “they don’t run KDE/Gnome/LXDE”?

Ha, you think that the backups even arrive to replace/repair? They’ll break down in transit!

That would be amazing. Cybertruck cops? They’ll be letting everyone go when the trucks breaks down.

Thats fine if it works for you.

My comment on all of this was purely that Bitwarden password was a single point of failure. Now we can shift that single point of failure somewhere else!

I’m not sure what the solution is.

Find a new single point of failure?

Windows ME.

Are you claiming that people condemning invasion of Ukraine are bad then?

Because “the entire west” does not condemn true socialism, or communism.

Vocal mouthpieces do.

The UK general election in 2019 had 40% of seats go to Corbyn, vs 42% going to the Tories. There is work to be done, but the reported numbers don’t get the profile of reality.

Not sure what you are talking about.

No one condemns Jews for being Jews, people condemn trapping people in walled camps, denying them food and aid and then blanket bombing them. Regardless of the perpetrator.

The Nazis are the ones supporting it.

They don’t, but by providing a “classic tier” they get to kill anyone’s argument against it by saying “just don’t get it”, until they then discontinue the “classic tier” due to a “lack of demand”, and force Office users to have AI and pay for it too.

Weird. I haven’t.

I don’t know about that. People post obviously popular opinions repeatedly if they aren’t banned.

Unpopular opinion, but I dislike the top ten Christmas songs

Yeah, no shit. Even though they are the “top ten”.

Or maybe, its not actually an unpopular opinion!

Here are some other examples:

A book, The Cathedral and the Bazaar about software development.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar

A fashion and “lifestyle” magazine

https://www.harpersbazaar.com/

We have a lot of foreign food stores around here that are called “The Bazaar Supermarket” etc.

That’s weird that there are several ways to get access to the Quick Guides, and some seem to want an email.

However it doesn’t use it and takes junk (I just used a@b.com which was accepted), but sad that the form you found needed it.

But to answer your question, no I missed that link and went to “downloads” which also has the guide but doesn’t appear to require any email.
