Well it is dangerous. Strong risk of addiction? People may get the urge to install a totally free os on their other systems? A device which is repair friendly? Running ROMs from other parties on it *cough* Nintendo *couch*?

All bad influences.

Found this explanation on the case insensitive feature of ext4.

I have the theme available... :happy:

I let my two nephews take a look at the Deck. They played Fallguys via Epic and Guardians of the Galaxy which is marked as playable. I got two big thumbs up from them.

They were especially interested in the fact that it is a PC and that it basically can run everything.

Why is OneShot native but unsupported?

You should avoid the stock Firefox install on Steam Deck as it's badly outdated (updated)

Hm. Can't find any Firefox other than the one I had to install via Flatpak...
