Doesn't work as seamless, NixOS has this option but you can't quit the session unless you go to TTY and type `steam --kill` (the button for `Switch to desktop` exists but doesn't work). For it to work AFAIK you need to give S

I don't think it is only for bragging rights, while in a vacuum the mainline kernel should be good enough for gaming, it is not really good when there are multiple tasks competing for the CPU attention (and this is especially bad for g

At least for Bazzite, Nobara and CachyOS, there is the SteamOS desktop option that boots directly to Steam's Big Picture that is quite unconventional in some ways (e.g. this desktop mode kinda also acts as a display manager, so there i

I don't think they're downplaying. Most users will be perfectly happy with the included KDE application for screenshots/screen capture (it is really fully featured, much better than the default options for Windows or macOS).

The AAA games industry with their multi-million budgets and "being too big to fail" mentality is on decline. It seems that anything that is not a new Call of Duty is considered not worth by the industry. But smaller games and indi

AFAIK one Steam Controller is included in the purchase of a Steam Machine already. Also, I find it unlikely that the Steam Machine is not going to work with other controllers, since the SteamOS works with pretty much any controller out ther

I am kind having a similar dilemma as the author of the blog post. Gabe Cube is the least interesting announcement that Valve did for me if I look at an objective level since I just built a PC that runs Jovian-NixOS (basically SteamOS, but

Not really a fair comparison since this was probably alpha-quality software, and the build they used was very likely build for that specific demonstration (that ok, went badly). Like the (in)famous first iPhone presentation where Steve Jobs

Same here. I am thinking of getting one refurbished M1 or M2 machine to get it to running Asahi Linux, but even then there are a few important things that seems to be unsupported (like external monitors).

Where are you getting this information? Curious because I can't find any evidence that Apple has "much, much, much faster" storage. If anything, Apple storage looks mediocre at best. For example: https://forums.mac

Modern Android devices now have the "Device Protection" option that does a bunch of things, including disabling side loading. And I think you can enforce this via work profiles too.
