My recommendation would be setting up Nobara with a separate home partition so you can easily switch if it stops being supported, although there are no sign of this yet. My second recommendation would be Opensuse Leap, it is more stable and well established but less optimized for gaming. Maybe take another look at Pop OS! when they release their independent new desktop. If you go with base Fedora be aware setting up codecs can be annoying. Avoid Manjaro, the distro breaks a lot due to dependency conflicts. Also I think you mean GNOME 40, GNOME 3 is the old design.

SteamOS at the end of the day just is an immutable distro with game mode for the steam deck. Bazzite does the same for PCs. I get that there is some level of brand recognition with Steam, but I think most people (including me) would take a while to notice there is something of when they are handed a steam deck with bazzite

How so?

What would an official steamOS desktop do that bazzite can’t? Unless you need commercial support because you are selling steam machines I don’t see how a official release would be of advantage.

Probably still working on the deep fake

Peertube/Odysee exist, even if they are relatively niche.

The video is also on Odysee, but for me there is no marking.

That is an interesting way of saying Apple is finally supporting an industry standard. By the way what is it with people pretending iMessage is the only messenger? There are many great cross platform options like signal and also some not so good options like WhatsApp. May just be Europe, but the last time I used SMS was in 2021. And I always have used iPhones.

This sounds like AI is literally biting its own tail

Yeah, I think in my head I mixed up this article with a unrelated one.

Here is the article were they adjusted the privacy policy to allow AI training. Personally I think this is enough evidence to think they train their AI on messages.

They sell your dms for money, which makes them money. They don’t make money through spying on your calls. I’ll let you figure this one out.

Edit: no evidence

I was mainly talking about stuff like HDR, VRR, tearing and gaming optimizations like with compositing. KDE also is generally more powerful as LXQTs main focus is performance

Invidious shares your IP with google, it does not act as a proxy

I have used LXQT and it was nice, just not meant for gaming. I would recommend using a desktop that already supports all the relevant features for gaming like KDE.

What are some good larger/general purpose peer tube instances? Last time I checked tilvids was one of the largest I found, so I seem to have missed a lot.

I’m currently on a atomic distro, so how I get my software from favorite to least favorite is this:

1. Flatpak
2. Appimage
3. Fedora distrobox
4. rpm-ostree

My tip: Ares. It’s a multi system emulator that is independent from retroarch/libretro while providing the same convenience and AFAIK is the most accurate n64 emulator available.

Sadly only for US and UK, or am I missing something?
