Nope.
The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface.
All the “competition” still tries to use Windows, and the experience is appalling.

It all depends on what you actually want to do.
I have a computer connected to the TV with Chimera installed because that’s SteamOS 3 with emulators preconfigured and is completely couch + controller friendly.
My laptop has Fedora because it’s up to date, but everything is tested before release, and all upgrade paths are automated unlike Arch which burnt me in the past with breaking changes.
On my Pi’s I have Diet Pi, which is Debian but has images for each of the different ARM boards and has a bunch of scripts for setting up print servers, Home Assistant, etc. I want Debian for it’s slow unchanging nature there.
On my desktop, less so.
But underneath they are all Linux, and they all behave in very similar ways, it’s all about the initial setup.
Stable has nothing to do with outdated packages.
That’s a personal decision by a distro.
Fedora is a stable distro because generally the packages stay on the same major version throughout the version, however they have a list of exceptions for certain applications that should be updated for security or perhaps they don’t follow a major/minor/bugfix release and it’s bad practice to hack together your own versions.
Fedora rebases it’s packages every 6 months, so it’s never left far behind.
They also don’t produce usable amounts of light.
That doesn’t make it “trash”.
Most people are not accessing the internet via a Chromebook.
I was just wondering if anyone was going to provide an upgrade path for my NanoPi Neo 3.
This looks small enough to do that job!
[Edit] Checked out the specs, I don’t think this is going to beat the NanoPi Neo 3 at all.
But it’s good to see other folks try to make the machines tiny.
No one said it’s okay.
We said “buying albums doesn’t directly support artists”.
Artists make a recording of a bunch of songs. A label buys that copy of a recording and makes a bunch of prints.
Album goes on to make millions, band had sold that copy of the recording so doesn’t get anything from the secondary selling.
Label then licenses that recording to Spotify. Spotify then makes money on people’s subscriptions and gives the 60% to the label they licensed it from. Notice how the artist isn’t involved here?
No one is a fucking slave you idiot, and no one is justifying it. Pirate the album and go to shows and buy their merchandise. This has always been the way, and remains the way.
I only had bad experiences with an XPS, then I found out that the Linux model was a cut down version so that Dell didnt have to support the fingerprint reader and other gadgets.
Lenovo at the time were working with Fedora to get all their fingerprint drivers upstreamed so the choice seemed obvious.
AMD T14 Gen 2, and it’s still great.
Not musicians “these days”. This has always been the case.
They didn’t create it though (At least that’s the argument).
Very few artists make money through record sales, and this has always been true not just recently with Spotify.
Even in the '80s bands were starving but then people pointed to Guns and Roses as examples that made money from record sales. Record labels signed contracts with bands to record and press albums, they took 90% of the money and gave artists cash up front. Unless they were already Aerosmith, the deal wasn’t great.
People bitching about Spotify taking most of the money, whilst it might be wrong, don’t seem to know their history. If you want to support bands it has always been about seeing them live and buying merch.
Artists don’t get good deals from Spotify because their labels are signing bad deals for them and it doesn’t matter “if they made the music”.
What do you mean I can’t install Windows on my new MacBook??? I thought it was only Linux that you had to think about what hardware you were purchasing before whining about incompatibilities.
It’s also been shown that people are more likely to impulse purchase when not using cash, and moreso with contactless via a phone or watch.
Trying to tie a decline in cash purchases with tax evasion is impossible.
Not quite sure about that. Wtf is that aspect ratio?
I’ll have to figure out of I can see it in person, because it reminds me of those 2000’s crappy ultra wide monitors that claimed a normal size but because they were extra wide it ended up being smaller.
[Edit]
Ah, it was the Asus Zenphone. I was going to get the 10 because that remained <6" and I still might because that aspect ratio on the Sony looks insane. I don’t know how anyone could reach the top of that without a ladder.
Anyway, the Zenphone 11 only comes in 6.8". Which is stupid.
Ah, I thought the latest ones were going big again. I’ll have to check them out.
I’m still on my Galaxy S10e.
The last normal sized phone with USB C and a headphone jack.
Same, we got married while she was pregnant and we were emigrating.
That was 2010.
Interesting back story.
Lord Buckethead has been three different people in different elections.
Count Binface is the second Lord Buckethead, the one who made the character famous when he stood against May in Maidenhead.
They could call it Windows Console Edition, or WinCE.
