For me, it’s after trying a non tiling WM. I’m too deep into i3 (now Sway) + tmux.

xavier666@lemm.eeto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•SteamOS Manager for BIOS updates, TDP and GPU clock controls now open source, mentions "Download Mode"English31·2 months agoValve’s goal with it is to “have a standardized interface so that SteamOS specific features in the Steam client, e.g. TDP management, can be exposed in any linux distro that provides an implementation of this DBus API”
Some companies are trying to move core features under their closed source umbrella and Valve is exposing their features so that other Linux distros can make use of it.

Linux should be the defacto OS at such places. The younger generation’s first interaction with a PC is at school. If they are used to Linux from a young age, this is greatly help them ease into the Linux mindset (package manager, terminal).

However, I always have those “trivial” conditions be explicitly set. Usually, when the device is unplugged correctly, your primary display will be automatically be turned on. However, in very weird scenarios (incorrect voltage signals, loose wire, etc), it’s possible that the explicit
else
condition will be triggered.

The Experience Does.English3·2 months agoYou can have a perfect distro on a USB which boots into Linux automatically when inserted into your PC and it preserves all your files and favorites. Still it will hardly increase the market share by 1 or 2%. It’s because a super minority of people will bother to get the USB drive.
The core issue we have to understand is “availability of preinstalled Linux on PCs in brick and mortar shops”. Till this is solved, we won’t get market share. The only reason people are using Linux on their SteamDeck is availability.
