In fact, I would have traded the wait for a compensation, lol. So enjoy the game.

Tbh, same. I mostly reached out to support, because I was unsure if the package was getting lost in the wrong country. The delay doesn't matter much to me, I waited for a new controller since first playing on a steam deck, a week more is nothing.

Even with tracking looking good, I recommend contacting Valve support. They're really helpful (and as they are the contract partner for GLS, only they can file a complaint with them).

Netherlands is the location of the warehouse, so that is expected. But it seems a whole batch was misrouted from there to the UK and then back to the warehouse, delaying everything by a week. Mine was shipped on the 15th and hasn't arrived yet.

Sadly, they specified "standard edition game available in your region". An my region isn't "Valve office" :(

It runs as part of steam, so you would need to add the program you want to use to steam as an external program and start it through steam. Steam Input then runs as a translation layer around the other program. At least that's how it works on the Steamdeck.

The barrier repo is basically dead, input-leap is a fork from two of the previous maintainers and still actively developed: https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap/issues/1414

So unless you're using an apt based distro (which don't seem to have it packaged yet), I'd recommend using that instead.

You also need a powered adapter for HDMI 2.1 in this case. The passive adapters work, because the DP output on the computer usually supports switching to HDMI output. But for that to work, the driver must support it, so it has the same problem as the HDMI port (which supports 2.1 on a hardware level, but not with AMDs open source drivers)

If you want 120Hz, only active adapters will work, which cost around 40$. If you don't, the included HDMI 2.0 will be enough

If you don't need 120Hz, you don't need HDMI 2.1. You can get 4k @ 60Hz with the HDMI 2.0 that the Steam Machine has, so you can use just any TV.

Passive DP-to-HDMI adapters only work if the device on the Displayport end supports Dual-Mode, i.e. using the Displayport to send an HDMI signal. They often do, but it would require the same driver support for HDMI 2.1. So this would require an active adapter.

ARM boards with slotted RAM use the same type as x86 (although mostly LPDDR, as found in laptops), so I assume there isn't any difference that is related to the CPU architecture.

Except the circumstances in which they run on gasoline are not that exceptional: https://theicct.org/publication/real-world-phev-use-jun22/

And the lower weight of the battery is partially offset by needing an additional drive train, a transmission with multiple gears (purely electric cars usually have fixed transmission) and other smaller parts required for the combustion engine. These also increase the required maintenance a lot (e.g. requiring oil changes).
