Theyre describing it as a small linux PC, which makes me hopeful. And given that its running SteamOS, I imagine it will be a very similar experience to the steam deck, with a streamlined main interface all in steam but the option to dive in deeper and customize the OS more.

Apparently its shipping early next year actually. Based on earlier leaks though this has been in development more or less since the index.
Yep, even though trump is maybe the most populist president the country has seen
Metal is way easier to recycle than plastic tbf
Was already working fine through proton, but this is great to see as well!
I think this is perfectly fine. I dont think we should really be expecting them to provide support for the entirety of the linux platform when there is so much variation between installs. If its working on steam deck, it'll work on linux generally.
That, plus I think its to get you more invested. Like if you have the app on your phone you might want to use it again, or youll forget about it and then see it later and think about their product/service/whatever.
In the modern age so many things that should just be websites are apps and many things that should be apps/programs are websites
Democratic primaries do have issues, yeah, particularly in the presidential race. But I wouldn't say theyre meaningless in local elections. Still, definitely a lot of issues, but voting in primaries still does far more than refusing to vote in the main election ever would.
Every year the DNC says "we got less votes this year! Must be the centrists voting for republicans, we gotta be more moderate!" and then somehow those folks turn around and say "the democrats are too moderate, if enough of us don't vote, the DNC will see they are losing support and realize they need to come back left!"
I will always understand having grievances for the democratic party because all they do is defend the status quo - I do too - but not voting over that is just fucking stupid. You want to change that? Go to protests, vote in primaries, support local initiatives for ranked choice voting, donate to causes you find actually beneficial, support local politicians that dont just support the status quo, support movements you believe in. If its about Gaza, speak up about that, donate to humanitarian funds, etc. There are ao many things you can do that can impact these things. But refusing to vote does actually fucking nothing for that cause.
There is no world in which more people refusing to vote for Kamala would have gotten us a better president or stopped genocide in gaza. Or really had any impact in any way that wasn't making trump more likely to win. IMO the folks that did that were doing it more for themselves so they could feel morally superior because they didnt vote for the candidate that supported genocide or the "status quo" even though it literally never would have had any impact on either of those things.
(And let's be real - trump is way worse for Gaza than Kamala would have been. I'm sure she wouldn't have done enough, just like Biden, but at least there are voices in that party calling out Israel. Those voices fall far more deaf on this administration's ears)

Honestly, I don't really think there were sacrifices. They seem like just an upgrade to me.
No more trackpads I guess, but I didnt like those much either, most games just treat them as a single button or maybe two and we got two more buttons on each controller in their place.
