Steam for Linux still has some basic syntax and command line issues when launching stuff. Gamescope for example is very picky about where exactly arguments and commands are placed.

Also Linus fails to read a few obvious things on the screen, in POP!Os it clearly says its going to remove EVERYTHING if he goes ahead and installs steam, obviously a bug, but you should always take a photo of said stuff so you can reinstall it afterwards and save the install.
BUT that is probably asking too much from a casual user who is obviously of whats happening on screen.
Also when Linus installs Manjaro he complains about no audio but fails to understand how audio device switching works on Plasma and he clearly shows a screen where he DOESN'T have this exotic windows only support soundboard selected. (if he selected it he'd at least get sound)
But I think Linus is a good example of your typical user who would install Linux and proceed to not read or understand a single damn thing like their looking at Chinese writings or something! (even tho its all in English, go figure)
I've met people from ages 24 and up who fail to read and comprehend EXTREMELY basic instructions and details on screen. Its like their brain fails to work when looking at the monitor, its puzzling!

Edge is just Chrome, just like Vivaldi and all the others. However I wouldn't be surprised if Edge has MS own telemetry tracking crap going on that follows you all over the webs recording your actions... no thanks!

Look forward to this in mainline arch repo. Its a feature I've been waiting for a long time and useful for me since I don't use Wayland yet due to some bugs and missing features.

Interesting, is very similar to this laptop I bought recently from banggood that was on special for like $299usd or something. Almost identical specs except this boosts a little higher.
One I have has touch screen however. Same CPU/GPU basically (and ram and ssd). And can fold 360deg to pad.

Sometimes the DXVK packages Heroic and Lutris use do not include D3D12 files which is often needed for RT/DLSS features. Also the NVAPI solutions are not gonna be installed with heroic.

I was unable to link my FO76 to Steam due to a Bethesda login issue at the time. So I must use launcher via wine.
