I could equally be mistaken. I thought I recalled the console being built-in but I haven’t bothered to check, as I hardly use it.

You don’t even need to install anything extra afaik. Should just be able to use the Steam console, which is a neat little thing hidden into the client.
Yeah I got it completely wrong.
Yeah that one’s on me. I did Google lens it, but I realized I had no hope of knowing what glyphs those were, I just assumed Japanese cause idk. But good call.
If it wasn’t obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here’s what the Japanese Chinese text along the top reads on each box:
Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.
Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.
so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke
edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.

Also, please someone send her a L1ZY
Just give up hope. It’s really not worth it.
I loved Pop!_OS as it made Debian/Ubuntu extremely usable as a daily driver. Finally I got fed up with outdated package bullshit coming from different angles and went to Rocky. Wish I did it sooner.
Appreciate System76, but they’ve dropped the ball hard and I don’t think it’s recoverable

No, you’re angry at IBM. When news of the IBM acquisition broke, sector veteran colleagues I’m close with moaned and groaned that IBM was sure to do something to piss everyone off again, which was apparently their habit a couple decades back. Sure enough, they could not have been more accurate in their assessment.
Turns out IBM is three hot messes in a trenchcoat and always has been. Hence why they have already lost the Quantum wars and likely the GenAI wars as well. One AI vet I know says they’re posed to even lose the AI war altogether, which is pathetic given the groundwork provided by Watson alone.
Linux is freedom, Windows is serfdom, Mac is just dumb.
If I were to fully elaborate, I’d be typing for hours, so I’ll sum up:
--require-virtualenv
. Multiple things can fuck up your ENV to make the python binaries point to system-wide, while your terminal will still show you as in a venv. Also why TF would package metadata files need to be executable? Bad practice, -1/10From there, it’s all extremely nit-picky and paranoid-fueled-- basically, none of the package managers I mentioned are conducive, in my eyes at least, to a secure and intuitive compute environment.
Unfortunately, there’s not much I can do about it except bang pots and pans and throw maintainers under buses when the issue that has been present for years rears it’s ugly head. Because they are the only ones who can change this, and pressure is the only thing that might motivate them to.
Nix is already beyond fucked because they actively dismiss the need for appropriate security measures to prevent supply chain attacks. There were multiple discussions about this over the years that appear to have succumbed to neglect.
I wouldn’t trust nix, just like I don’t trust pip, brew, or a whole plethora of other package managers and repositories. They are just too neglectful
Are homemade PCBs really that effective? I’d wanted to try my hand at them but never could settle whether it was worth attempting.
