There are also alternative methods for activation.
Once you run the
wsreset -icommand to install the Microsoft Store there should be no issue running any purchased UWP apps.The game repair tool installs all the xbox and gamebar apps/services missing from the ltsc version.
If you don't run the game repair tool you might get a popup when launching games saying an app is missing for ms-gamingoverlay link. The popup is annoying but harmless, triggered probably by residual gamebar stuff in ltsc. Installing all the xbox stuff is the easiest way to get rid of it without doing registry edits.

Really good with some crusty toasted bread to dunk and scoop.
I also enjoy their vegetarian lentil chili but I would skip the slow cooker and just do 45 minutes on the stove. Might require a bit of tuning to really pop. I add re-hydrated shiitake mushrooms, peanut butter(mouthfeel), cocoa(acidity), pepper brine(acidity), and indian curry powder(reduces tomatoey taste) to mine. Generally served on rice.

I just launched steam from the menu. So this might not be a controller or cachyos issue.
I'm using the 8bitdo ultimate 2.4hz controller connected using the dongle. Controller is set to X input using the toggle switch on the back. I tested big picture as well as megabonk.

Something about modding/jailbreaking devices and unlocking hidden potential scratches an itch for me.
I recently setup a docker container of Calibre-Web to do something similar. I can access the library directly in koreader using the OPDS catalog feature.
How do you like your boox? I've eyed the palma from time to time.

A different approach might be to just use the physical media to launch things instead of for storage. Reading the media label or contents for identification and mapping to a program launch. That way you could repurpose any physical media(cd/dvd/floppy disk) you have laying around as a proxy for launching the programs. This would also get around the physical media speed and reliability issues.

Sounds like you are 95 percent of way to making some great pizza/focaccia. I would be interested to know what you end up changing to increase the rise.
I have a freshly bought bag of whole wheat flour to experiment with.

We've settled on a 50:50 wholemeal / white loaf, which for me really is the best of both. 200g white, 200g wholemeal, 5g salt (1tsp), 300ml water, 15g (1 tbsp) oil, 3g (3/4 tsp) instant yeast.
The loaf turned out great, dense with a nice crust and unsurprisingly delicious with a little butter. Much nicer than the strange white bread recipe that came with the machine. For the next batch I will scale it up 20-30% since it didn't quite fill out my pan.
20% scaled recipe in bread machine order:
- 360ml water
- 6g salt
- 18g oil
- 250g white flour
- 250g whole wheat flour
- 4g instant yeast

You're correct it really isn't something new and groundbreaking just another form factor.
Upside of the design being you don't have to carry around a pocketful of nipples in between gaming sessions. The keying for lining up the buttons is nice as well.
What would I search for when looking for a 3d printed example? I'm looking for a justification to buy myself a 3d printer before the Bambu sale ends.

Windows 11 I think defaults to some flavour of AptX.
Its mostly just a fresh windows install without any apps and websearch disabled by default. The only start menu items are normal system utilities and Microsoft Edge(which you can uninstall). It feels nice not having Office, Onedrive, Bing, Copilot, Outlook and Xbox being shoved in your face. You can get a regular windows install to a similar state but it's generally tedious or requires 3rd party utilities/scripts.
All the usual telemetry is still there but can be disabled per usual.
It might use a tiny bit less memory but the difference isn't enough to matter most of the time. Space wise W10 IoT Enterprise LTSC uses maybe 5-10GB less compared to a regular install.
