Kinda. Redox uses a microkernel architecture and tries to keep only the most important functionality in ring 0 while they push everything else in userspace. It's great.
The Steam Deck really is a very unique gaming platform. The Proton compatibility layer is a work of art. Crossover, Valve, and the WINE community should all be regarded as gaming heroes. I can play so many games on my Steam Deck that I never would've thought possible 5 years ago.
Being able to add your own external or custom games to your library, and still being able to make custom controls for those games, is just pure joy.
What's really exciting is seeing the constant flow of games go from unverified to verified. It just keeps getting better.
The best part about the Steam Deck one might argue is being able to install ANY operating system you want on this thing. Want to play Destiny 2 and Fortnite really badly? You have the nuclear option of installing Windows. Want to take Linux gaming to the next level? Install Bazzite. Its up to you. YOU are in control.
Sorry, I just really wanted to speak my 2 cents about how much I love the Steam Deck. I hope I made some salient points.
Endless Sky is amazing and under continuous, active development.
You can build your fleet as large as you want too, which can get insane. There's no cap hard coded in the source - one player I talked to built his fleet with thousands of freighters until his computer started lagging.
Veloren is amazing too. I love collecting lanterns, and taming animals and mounts is great gameplay.
I love the := assignment operator lmao
I read so much bad news every day now, and then something nice like this pops up and I think "well gee maybe things aren't so awful"
This ad blocking tug-of-war game is absolutely fascinating in so many ways. One cannot help but be entertained by the two sets of opposing engineers fighting each other for technological dominance
I love it
Alpine is cool. apk is freakishly fast. I mean, like FREAKishly fast.
PostmarketOS is using Alpine as their base as well.
I had problems with containers though. I would like to revisit it and see if I can get them working
I like seeing work being put into musl as well.
Boxkit, which is Alpine based, is probably the most useful OCI container OOTB: https://github.com/ublue-os/boxkit
Lots of cool stuff. Don't stop the learnin'
For me its gotta be Donut County. I was baked out of my mind and my best friend was like "Dude you gotta play this game" and handed me his controller. It was awesome.
The images with the nvidia drivers baked in are one of the greatest selling points for Universal Blue. Its the easiest and simplest way to run Linux with nvidia, hands down.
Immutable is awesome. The user instead uses flatpak, snap, and/or nix to install their packages and apps. If you want a mutable environment, you can use containers and their many system integration tools like distrobox.The system has rollback functionality thanks to ostree, abroot, or similar technologies, so in case an update goes awry, you can roll back to a previous working image. Update anxiety no longer exists for me
Blood sweat and tears went into this project and I'm so glad they've finally released version 1.0.0. Congratulations to everyone in the team!

The Linux Mint team produces excellent software for making the end user experience gorgeous.
My favorite bit of software of theirs is webapp-manager. I have it installed on my Pinephone, and it allows me to make "apps" from websites.
I love that they embrace Debian as an alternative base. Debian is one of my favorite operating systems
Linux Mint = Good
