It does not make a meaningful difference at all. Get the keyboard you like best. Personally, I’m a fan of the Logitech G915 (Windows layout) for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Hi-Fi Rush
Pure joy and happiness from start to finish.
I’m on Debian + GNOME right now, which works fine for me, but I plan on trying out Pop! OS in the next couple weeks. I’ve put off a long time because it’s downstream of Ubuntu and I’m no longer a fan of Canonical’s direction.
The big anti-cheat tools (BattleEye and EAC) are already compatible. The only remaining problems are a small number of developers that intentionally announced that they will be proactively blocking linux… like Bungie.
Now if Valve can just give us an up-to-date version of SteamOS for desktops…!
…are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony…
They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.
I’m in California, where it is legally required for them to provide an online cancellation if that’s how you signed up.
They have a cancellation link, but if you click it, it takes you to a fake error page.
Yes.
The thing that has struck me the most is how much lighter it is. Nobody seems to be mention that, but that one small thing makes such an outsize difference.
The battery life is also very noticeable, and you can multiply the benefit by using energy conserving settings.
The other big difference is control responsiveness. If you play fighting games or other games with intense timing and accuracy needs, you WILL notice the difference.
The OG Steam Deck is still great, but the OLED is just better in so many little, meaningful ways.
In an attempt to atone for creating the bomb, Julius Robert Oppenheimer would go on to invent a quantum teleportation device. But when a failed experiment sends him back in time, attracting the attention of a hostile alien species, he is forced to turn his invention into a weapon that will expose the alien homeworld to a distant black hole…
Oh, did GM just step in it this time. Being stupid and removing important features is one thing, but straight-up defamation like this is another.
Google and Apple’s lawyers must be salivating a river right now.
Are you implying that there is anything else that matters?
Debian is my go-to. So long as you’re already comfortable with Linux, you can get gaming working with a tiny bit of elbow grease… and unlike some other distros, Debian is rock-solid.
Jetbrains IDEs have “Live Templates” that I use extensively.
For little notes and snippets (especially CLI snippets) I use an app called Stashpad, which I LOVE.
I had 3.18 running on my Deck, just as an exercise in my own curiosity. 10-15fps on the lowest settings wasn’t great, but it worked. Credit where it’s due, that’s damn impressive for a PC that fits in your palm.
The only real blocker was that gameplay isn’t feasible on that tiny screen; the game just isn’t intended to played like that.
With the increasing popularity of these different form factors and device types, it seems like people are finally starting to realize just how horrible Windows is… especially for gaming.
I really like Orion, which is based on WebKit… but it’s Mac only. 😢
Remember, Firefox is great and has no dependency on upstream Google code.
Use Firefox.
I tried to order the LE at launch but it kept telling me “sold out” or “not available in your country” (though I’m in L.A.). I did eventually manage to order a couple hours later.
Currently, my order says “Shipping soon”.
Helping with complex Terminal commands/shell scripts is basically my #1 practical use-case for AI right now… especially if you use tools like JQ a lot. Saving keystrokes is a lifestyle, after all.
I am also a really big fan of Warp, and was even before they added the AI feature (the editor-style functionality is wonderful). For the record, the AI isn’t always running in Warp, to use it you start a prompt with hash (#) and then ask for what you want and it presents options.
