    While this would be great, it’s also a little unfortunate, since the general desktop experience on Steam Deck is IIRC currently a bit below other comparable distros, and I’d hate for people to get an incomplete picture of what the Linux desktop experience can be like. Hopefully the time that’s led up to the wider release of SteamOS has been spent on getting that desktop experience up to snuff.

    “Chai” doesn’t mean “tea” in English though - it signifies a specific type of mixed-spice tea. “Chai tea” is no more redundant in English than “Earl Grey tea” is.

    One a word has been borrowed into another language, the meaning/etymology of the word in the source language is irrelevant. For example, I bet when you say “sushi” you mean “fish on/wrapped in rice” and not the vinegared rice itself, because that’s what it means in English. Similarly, when a Japanese speaker says “mansion”, they mean a high-rise apartment or condominium, not a large house, because that’s what the word means in Japanese.

    Fun fact: while a much more often occurrence than once in a lifetime, “Thursday the 20th” is tied with “Saturday the 20th” as the least-likely combination of days of the week with the 20th day of the month, even though you’d think the chances would be exactly 1/7.

    Here’s the math about the Gregorian calendar that explains why. (Even though the post is about Friday the 13th, it straightforwardly can be applied to any other day/date combination as well.)
