Liam, are you like me? Where it feels those 15 years went by too fast? :unsure:

I'm past year 20 of being a Linux user at this point.. and honestly. It doesn't feel that long. :cry:

Where did time go?! :cry:

Meanwhile, I still have an awesome OS. :grin:

Quoting: CorbenIs Chimera OS or Bazzite pulling stuff from Steam OS? Maybe that's the idea behind it. What purpose do these fixes have otherwise in Steam OS?
In an overly simplified way, Bazzite is Fedora 40 Silverblue/Kinoite with a bunch of tweaks pre-applied to make it more Steam Deck friendly.

Aside from the 'game mode' most of it is basically just Fedora (thus, you can have more recent kernels and a better immutability than SteamOS).

They're usefull for unclipping clips.
You put them inbetween the parts you want to separate and just slide them through the wedge wipping up any clip you encounter.
Can also been done with nails, but is more likely to do damage to the device.

Also they're quite subtle tools and can thus be used for glue prying.
I almost had a heart attack thinking you meant using nails as in nails:


For prying things on circuit boards, etc. Then I realised... nah he probably means finger nails.... I hope. :unsure:

Just remember to take out your SD card before taking the back plate off the Steam Deck.
To be fair, the only case I've heard of anyone actually forgetting that and breaking their card was from one of those early access guys, who had the deck early for review. I don't think anyone else has done it since, due to the sheer publicity that got. :grin:

Valve have great timing, they do this on the same day that I decide I might outright quit Steam 😂. Tempting as it is, I will do my best to avoid. :smile:
