Out of curiosity, why not go for something that supports Linux out of the box? Why stock to mainstream?

Flatpaks are a lot easier than appimages though I still default to my distros native packages if available.

I buy it for classics.

PopOS and Manjaro are two I never liked.

I never played NMS until it was “fixed” but honestly I still find it to be an incredibly dull game.

How do you enable swipe after loading the library?

OpenSUSE TW for me. Used to be Arch but it’s just too much faff for me.

The biggest issue with all these Steam Deck rivals is Windows. Why has no one else pushed out a proper handheld running a Linux distro?

I gave up with pipewire and just switched to pulseaudio. All issues gone.

Pipewire doesn’t work in games for me so I switched back to Pulse. No issues since.

My network doesn’t offer eSIM so I stick with physical.

Most but not all sadly.

No I just sold them. They weren’t worth the price.

The overear headphones. The ANC just made no difference.

I bought some Sony XM4s because I’d heard this theory before but I found noise cancelling barely makes a difference.

AMD is marginally easier but Nvidia is a lot better than people make out. The drivers install with one command in most distros.

A beyond burger.

Is it not just easier to buy an aux cable with an inline mic?

I’d like to have a headphone jack but I’m not that bothered either way. USB C dongles are cheap and I just leave it attached to my headphones.

Pipewire came installed by default on my OpenSUSE TW install and I never get audio in games. I have to constantly switch audio devices until it finally decides to work. I swapped it out for pulseaudio and I’ve never had an issue since.
