SteamOS Holo being a requirement for Linux is weird somehow. :grin:
The developers don’t seem to have a grasp what Linux actually is.

That’s just base voltage.

Did you mean ‘without messing up the former’? As in the ‘other stuff’ must not mess up the ‘main/single-player game’?

I’m totally immersed in Blacktail [External Link] at the moment. I can only recommend it, and it comes with graphics presets for the Steam Deck.
Sadly, the settings get stored in the Steam cloud, too…

I hope some day Ubisoft will sell pacemakers. These pacemakers will stop working the moment Ubisoft decides to shut down their server. It will be fun! :woot:

"You can't expect the entire global smartphone industry to suddenly go USB-C just because some customers in Europe have their noses out of joint."

Quoting: macrumors.comWhy Apple Adopted USB-C
The European Union instituted legislation mandating that electronic devices like smartphones use a "common port," which the EU established was the USB-C port.

Why are you so pro-corporations/anti-consumers?
Nevermind that USB-C was in wide use years before that initiative. It seems the EU simply codified a standard that had already been adopted by the tech industry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I must have missed the pre-2023 iPhone with an USB-C port!? Can you link to a source claiming Apple released an iPhone with an USB-C port prior to the EU legislation?
