  Bioshock. I am sure you can just replay it. The twist at the end… I wish I could relive the surprise again.

  IDK about the topic of him being an asshole. I don’t follow him like, at all.

  But, I might argue about the server arena part. From my understanding, (not in the field, so feel free to prove me wrong), but Azure, AWS, and others are built on Linux. Right? Just the two sites are a very massive percentage of the internet.

  Mobile, again I might be wrong. Android is a fork of Linux or runs the Linux kernel. Is that right?

  With Steam Deck it’s gained ground there too. Sure. It’s still not even close to Windows. But, progress is exciting anyways.

  Thanks for responding! I’m glad I learned about this!

  Okay, but how do you monitor the issues with reading and writing?

  Nvidia RTX 4090 ti.

  Obviously a joke. I’d love to see some good suggestions here too ☺️

  It also depends on the audience. A lot of people might not be comfortable installing a different OS. Steam Deck is ready out of the box.

  Personally, I have installed many OSes many times, so I am comfortable doing it to a handheld device. But the inputs on the Steam Deck would stop me from buying any alternatives. SD has so many options, full Xbox layout, track pads in either side, four paddles on the back, gyro, and the two “menu buttons”. And they all feel super premium!

  The last thing I’ll say is about the support of all of this. I have only owned two valve made physical products at this point, Steam Deck and Steam Link. The updates for Steam Link continued far after the product was discontinued. The amount of bugs on the Steam Deck that were fixed via an update the day following it’s report is truly astonishing. I have owned 3-4 ASUS ROG products and after the last keyboard I owned (how do you messup a keyboard?!?!) I decided it would take some serious innovation to get me to buy another product of there’s again. I have also owned two different models of GPD win, very unimpressed but the quality of the inputs so I sold them very fast. I can’t speak to any other handheld but I can say I feel very comfortable with Steam backing the Deck.

  That’s such a big thing. Linux is better for a handheld. I used to own a couple of GPD Win’s and Windows made it so frustrating so I just sold them. With my Steam Deck I have found very few games I couldn’t play on Linux. I actually can’t think of a single example that isn’t a competitive multiplayer game. But, personally I didn’t buy a handheld for competitive multiplayer…

  What does it mean to be underwater in this instance? And what is Gap insurance?
