An add-on for add-on for an add-on. Or actually an add-on for two other add-ons...

This is getting out of hand, kinda.

I have yet to understand the usefulness of lighting with opaque keycaps...

(Apart from that I wouldn't like the cursor keys arrangement and the lack of a proper ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdown block.)

Quoting: ElectricPrismUbuntu has a paywall for their OS download

Erm... no. They ask for a donation along a "take me to downloads" link. That is not a paywall.

Quoting: ElectricPrismRedHat charges yearly licenses and the Linux Kernel doesn't flip out on them for it.

They charge for their service. Which also includes 24/7 support and guaranteed fixes and patches for up to 10 years. (Something SuSE or Canonical also do.)

Quoting: LightkeyAh, Bridge Constructor (also released for Linux) developer from Germany, no surprises there. What's surprising is that LEGO/Thunderful Publishing went along with it, as it's their first Linux title. I wonder if ClockStone even mentioned it to them..

They are actually from Austria. Since they are from my hometown I am picky about that...

Quoting: fagnerlnSteam deck looks perfect: size, ergonomics, weight, etc... But would be nice if they invest in some external gpu solution in a newer version.

For 5 potential customers out there?

Quoting: pb> "this is impacting us so heavily"

ok, but what if people who go to such extreme measures are from other poor countries that *don't* have regional pricing and instead are paying "regular" prices in usd or euro? and it's their only realistic alternative to just pirating the game?

No such thing. Humble Bundle registered illegal copies of their one Dollar/one Euro bundles. There might be some "in need" using this "workaround", but I am absolutely convinced that the vast majority are people just feeling good, that they could rip off someone else.

Quoting: fenglengshunas an accountant, every time i see a keyboard without numpad, i just feel so scared...

As a developer I am turned off by a keyboard without dedicated function keys, no insert key and no numpad (which is actually very handy with games like War Thunder, too).

Quoting: BlackBloodRumWhat about Doom inside the inner Doom, that's running inside doom? Doom-On-Doom-On-Doom?

This will inevitably create a singularity in the space-time continuum. And what that means has already been shown in a game named "Doom"...

Quoting: GuestI agree it seems super rushed... If Valve expects a lot of 3rd party hardware vendors jumping in they need to start a verified process, so junk companies don't make SteamOS look bad. Just to clarify I don't mean they should block other vendors, but have a list of tested hardware from vendors they trust for us customers.

How? SteamOS is open source and can potentially be slapped onto any hardware out there.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThat is a weird, random one to target. This day and age it is no longer paranoia, someone is out to hack you.

Why should this have been a deliberate and targeted attack? I suppose pretty much everyone (more so on Windows machines) can catch malware and become therefore compromised.
