Honestly no idea why the Framework Desktop isn’t being sold in a SteamOS configuration.

And a Steam console to go with it, please.

Current state of the rumor mill is that it’ll be a companion device for the stand-alone VR headset where traditional games are supposedly being projected on a virtual giant screen.

Missing feature is no longer missing

.ml user who doesn’t read past the headline. Name a more iconic duo.

I think her dad was a trial attorney.

Yeah, defended some minor sportsman. It’s not like the family name only got famous through the blood of innocent victims or anything like that. The Kardashians were picked up by MTV back then only by pure happenstance.

It began when they named their shitty island Great Britain.

Not all of them.

Scottish football fans are usually very fun in Germany, united in hate for the English.

what’s the most efficient way of backing everything up and moving across to a distro that’s more actively maintained?

Honestly, don’t migrate everything. Things can break when moving configuration files between distributions and you’d end up having more work than backing up the necessities (user files) and doing the rest from scratch. User IDs in the file metadata are the first thing to mismatch and things could spiral down from there (looking for files in one place but the new distribution places it somewhere else, for example).

Get an external hard disk, format it as ExFAT and copy documents, videos, downloads,… from your home directory onto it. ExFAT does not support Linux file permissions, so from your new distribution you can copy the files without any “permission denied” errors.

Sadly Ubuntu and its derivatives such as Neon are still often recommended to newcomers for historical reasons even though there are more stable and easier distributions around. Ubuntu fucking up Flatpak compatibility in its latest release is just another chapter in an endless saga. Fedora KDE should offer a good balance between long term availability, recent KDE software and stability. Personally, I’m more of an openSUSE guy myself but some quirks may be a bit much for newcomers.

I recently though about the fact that ever since Trump is being paid off by sharia law countries, all fear mongering regarding sharia law stopped. I’m sure he’s be told to get in line, should anyone make the connection of sharia support to Trump.

In case anyone only wants to watch the video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tPCrbHunXs

Try https://fedoraproject.org/kde/download using its own Media Writer. Pretty sure it’s Rufus that’s causing this. If Fedora works, you can try to use Media Writer with Xubuntu’s ISO if it really has to be Xubuntu. Personally, I would recommend against it because getting rid of that Snap shit is more hassle than it’s worth. Might just as well use a distribution that respects its users.

And former eastern block =/= communism.

I obviously used the mainstream meaning of that word.

Fact is, Trump opposes free market capitalism because he’s a terrible business man.

That’s funny because Trump isn’t a capitalist. In an open market, his businesses fail. He needs government interferencey China style.

And Sailfish’s UI and infrastructure although nice isn’t open source.

Maybe Jolla’s phone could be an avenue to get unlocked phones, though.

Dude, I’ve got one, no need to go all fanboy on me.

Watch your manners.

doing that would kinda defeat the purpose of a handheld, wouldn’t it?

No because docked use is explicitly one of the advertised features:

I though it was implied that I played it with a keyboard on the PC, what kind of comparison would it be, the Steam Deck is itself a big controller

You implied nothing. “Big” PCs can use controllers and Steam Deck has touchpads, touchscreen, and you can connect keyboard and mouse because a Steam Deck is a PC.

I sometimes do but it’s not my main desktop PC. I have a notebook that’s much more powerful but when I left the notebook in my backpack besides the apartment door and sat down at my desk already, I may be too lazy to get up again and then grab whatever is the USB-C dockable device nearby. (Sometimes it’s also my Samsung phone for DeX desktop.)

Steam Deck is artificially power-constrained. That affects desktop use as well. Everything is just that bit less smooth than a Ryzen 9 system that’s not constrained to handheld power consumption.

a pluralistic home for the Israelis and Palestinians

Would be a welcome change if diplomatic efforts at least started to attempt a different approach such as this instead of sticking to the same formula that fails since eight decades.

Ah yes, the approach that’s failing since 80 years surely going to work this time.
