I'm a little unclear what you're supposed to do with the controller bits once you pull them off. Do you stick them together? That would be weirdly narrow. Do you just use them as separate bits, one in each hand? I feel like they'd shift weirdly in your hands while you were trying to use them. I don't get it.

Also, this thing costs how much?! And all you get for your expense is a thing running a crappy Windows interface?

I wonder how a normal non tech'y Steamdeck user would have handled this

They'd have turned off the machine.

That would be good, yes. I don't notice a lot of mentions of Wayland in this release, but I suppose where we could expect to see more of that would be the next .0 release, not this .2 LTS, which we can expect to be fairly conservative.
I'll probably upgrade to this at some point but I'm not going to rush . . . what I have now is fine for the moment.

Made fun of "Lord of the Rings"? Look, I like a good time as much as the next nerd, but I gotta draw the line at heresy.

Forgive me but Google translate translates French very well, contrary to your assertions, I actually use it to write to you !!

That explains a good deal about your writing. I'm afraid that is not as convincing about Google Translate's quality as you think it is.

The problem with the UK is that their last head of government who wasn't a complete idiot was named Winston Churchill.

That's a rather drastic misspelling of "Clement Attlee".

(Actually, I'm fairly ignorant of the postwar-but-pre-Thatcher British PMs; there could be some good ones. Thatcher and everyone since have sucked, and I know Attlee was good, but in between I'm not sure)

If I had to predict, I'd claim this would not be improved any time soon. It's not like the UK government cares about poor people.

As might be expected, I thoroughly approve of the purple one.

I thought they recommended to use Octopi to manage packages and updates?

Maybe the Octopi escaped. I hear they're very good at that.

Surprised not to see (yet) some "I was interested but Denuvo" posts.
