Wasn't unity in the red and looking to be acquired not long ago?

I switched away from KDE when they moved from a near-perfect KDE3 to a total-mess KDE4. Stayed with Gnome2 for a while but since it was destined to die, I moved to XFCE and am still using it. However nothing beats Konsole. I spend maybe half of my time in the terminal so it's a must. :smile:

Quoting: g000hI was actually thinking - If Steam Deck becomes a mega-success, and Valve remains reasonable with respect to privacy and respecting their customers, then maybe they could diversify in the future and produce a SteamOS mobile phone. There are so few choices for phones nowadays that aren't glorified spying devices for their Big Tech masters. I would *jump* on a non-invasive, open-technology smartphone *so fast*.

Maybe something like this? https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/ [External Link]
I don't think Valve should go in that direction, it would distract them from better-suited niches.

Quoting: dpanterI'm hoping (without any actual hope at all really) that Steam will show the Deck/SteamOS as a separate data set rather than lumping it in with the Linux data we are familiar with today. It would indicate if the Deck had a positive effect on desktop Linux adoption. :neutral:

We should be able to discern it in the "Linux Version" section anyway. It will show SteamOS for Steam Deck.

Quoting: CatKiller...but then I thought of using the Deck to play games on the toilet (multitasking!) as "clearing your backlog" and now I can't unthink it.

Imagine dropping it and having to go to the back of the queue for a new one. :tongue:

Wait, *additional* episodes? My heart skipped a beat before re-reading the sentence and noticing "the". :cry:

Quoting: SeegrasThat helmet with these shoulders and the breast plate... It hurts.

Yes I know it's fantasy, but pseudo-16th century shoulders and a pseudo-15th century breastplate might work, but NEVER with a pseudo-13th century helmet. And the short-sleeved chain-mail is also as stupid as it gets.

The "sword" is also a lot of eye-damage.

He does kinda look like he picked up his gear at a garage sale, doesn't he?

Found lying around the dungeon and/or crafted from some scrap metal, probably. :whistle:

Great! I hope the AUR package will be updated to use the fork. :smile:

I remember buying the first Humble Indie Bundle and playing all the games, and when I got to Lugaru (which I knew came from the initiators of HIB) I thought "wow, these guys just piggybacked on their fellow indie developers' actual games to push this hot piece of unfinished game / tech demo out of the door". And now I read that their $30 game that was supposed to be an actually-finished Lugaru is still unfinished after all these years (I have it from some bundle but after bad experience with Lugaru I haven't touched it). And they are suing Valve over wanting a fair treatment by their business partner... The entitlement just drips form that guy... :huh:

You surely meant to say SteamOS 2 Episode One, or I dunno...SteamOS 2 Lost Coast.

SteamOS 2.99 :happy:
