Had they added a cell SIM slot to the deck, I would have just bought that.

Considering that they are the only pro-Linux company in a position to start delivering to my country, that might just be my only option.

So, as long as they let me install custom stuff without restriction and have enough Linux support for the hardware they choose, they don't even need to do any special repairability stuff for me to happily give them my money.

Apart from what others already replied, a native game can run on SLR.

If it is being run without SLR, that would mean that you are using your distro's system libraries, which you would find in places like `/lib` and `/usr/lib`.

If it is being run on SLR, then it is using the libraries that Steam downloaded in the location the SLR is installed.

This feels weird to know^[I don't have a Steam deck] and hard to understand.

1. Steam OS is based on KDE, which, while originally made for PCs, lets all network activity work, with the screen off.

You can even set a shortcut key to turn off the screen, which will then turn back on, if you move the mouse or press a keyboard key.

2. Steam on Desktop lets you work with the screen off.

3. ???

4. Steam's mode made for a device that has to tax the battery to keep the screen on, then goes ahead and removes the ability.

What big problem happened that they had to remove it, only to add it separately after years?

Well, the effort to make the concept a reality is mostly just a record (a historical one)

and the reality is rapidly removing the implementation of it.

That makes it pretty hard to keep it concrete.

Edit: "if" -> "of".

It's official. I've caught the virus.

Also, if they have so many chickens, why don't they just get those to make more eggs?

Ahh right! Because they are Chlorinated!


Another chicken and egg problem.

Also, make the names of save files case sensitive, and name them like:

• aaaaaa

• aaaaaA

• aaaaAa

• aaaAaa

• aaAaaa

• aAaaaa

• Aaaaaa
