The Bitcoin network initially went online in 2009. Was your friend a time traveller?

Does it come with a battery that's not rechargeable and only lasts for exactly one playthrough of the game after which you throw the whole thing in the trash?

Also a great VR Headset and the runtime used by this and many other VR Headsets. If anyone is actually innovating it's Valve. Everyone else is mostly trying to catch up to the features Steam provides.

Steam isn't just the client, it's also a ton of APIs (steamworks sdk) and services available to developers for integration with Steam, Steam workshop, distribution of updates, cloud save, multiplayer, chat, achievements etc.

No other launcher comes even close in terms of functionality even if the UI isn't perfect.

Yeah, especially the ones made by pharma companies that doctors hand out.

Just like Windows 10 was announced to be the last Windows version and it was supposed to be a rolling release product.

And then they needed to artificially restrict what hardware Windows runs on to please the OEMs and their computer sales so we got Windows 11, cutting off a lot of recent and still more than capable enough hardware ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have a look at Wayfire. It's a Wayland compositor that implements a lot of the compiz effects/plugins. I recently found that but haven't tried it myself as I don't really care about wobbly windows and cubes as much as I did 15+ years ago when I first tried compiz as a teenager :D
