Copied from another comment I made

" I have a home server on debian and after a bit of setup woes(partly linux still being so reliant on CLI, partly my inexperience with it), it's been running super smoothly. Have multiple dockers and it has been a joy. And same for the steam deck, it just works. Some glitches here and there with controller support but that's just PC gaming. But I installed it on my laptop as well and that was a shitshow. All biometrics wouldn't work, wifi kept dropping in and out, phantom touches now and then. Sure I could have done some cli technical wizardry but I gave up after trying to make it work half as smoothly on my workflow as in windows. And the windows 11 on it is utter garbage. Partly this is manufacturing not having linux drivers available and partly it is linux just not having guis for essential functions. Hope steam is able to have enough of a push to get much needed consumer friendly guis for more system functions. "

Firefox mobile isn't atrocious, Facebook's support for mobile website is. Also, I'm sure Orion is a great browser but it touting itself for the dark web and having a 3.5 rating on the play store didn't particularly inspire confidence for me.

Cheetah Mobile aren't exactly well known for their business ethics. Partly why a lot of folks bailed.

For occasional use of a Windows specific software, how feasible is it to keep a VM handy? Not too much of a drag or a bit of a hassle.

Been on the edge of turning the main OS to linux on the gaming rig.

Well, TIL.

I thought it just hid all of them without accepting. Should've read thoroughly.

Would you mind showing the separate pieces once you're done with the session?

This may be a bit counterintuitive, but I tried Mint and it was ugly and also 21 => 21.1 upgrade tool botched my drive mounting points.

Fedora was absolutely smooth af and Debian has been absolutely lovely too.

In case either of those seem more up your alley.

That was the game that totally sold me on the Steam Deck Experience. I played a lot of the handheld perfect games on the switch already.

Why would they do that when they could just call it Virtua Boy 2?

There's extradition laws. 🙂🙂

Second Super Mario 3D World and Rayman games. The Rayman ones were a huge hit when my college mates visited.

I couldn't get Linux Mint to work with my laptop's secureboot. I've had luck with Fedora and Debian. In case you trip at mint same as me.
