    Reading the reviews on Steam, it seems to be fairly punishing and gets difficult very quickly though.

    Also @ your writeup thing I bought Hot Wheels to play with a friend(still didn’t do that) months ago, wasn’t aware of mtx

    Using Caps Lock instead of shift I imagine would supremely fuck other people up… myself as well.

    Touhou and Xenoblade has been some of my favorites for many years.
    Recently(Think 7 years maybe) Etrian Odyssey has been up there, it got me somewhat more interested in Koshiro’s other works.
    I enjoy listening to Outer Wilds since last year as well, but could be my fondness of the game doing the work.

    There is probably more but 3 things that are always on my mind when someone asks me that and a recent thing on it.

    While I wouldn’t recommend it to most people, maybe look into Surface Laptop Go 2/3?
    They’re 12.4 inches iirc.
    Screen is less than 1080p but has that Surface aspect ratio.
    Has a USB C and a USB A port, BT and Wifi, the battery should last for 4 hours.

    Having some DRM free games is the one positive thing that EGS has over Steam to me.
    I tend to just download the DRM free copy and move it over to my SteamDeck though.
    The store itself is kinda ass from my experience , I’m willing to put up with it but no way is it gonna replace Steam for me. Library aside, Steam never gave me issues and is more functional, while EGS seems to log me out after a while and put me once on a login loop.
    That being said I haven’t bought a game on EGS yet, I tend to go for GOG if it is available in multiple stores, then Steam if it is cheaper due to regional pricing or availability, EGS is mainly when they have a free game that I’m interested in(or when I remember they give away free games).

    Kind of, I do use Orion and somewhat curious about Kagi but I can’t justify paying its yearly price, when I also have a Proton Ultimate sub going as well.

    Finished Outer Wilds a couple of weeks ago, now I’m starting Echoes of the Eye DLC stuff, definitely not as good as the base game so far, but I don’t really have much time to play.

    I have 2 issues with signal.
    1-No one I know uses it
    2-It requires phone number to register, not sure if you add people by their numbers or they can have an ID system after you register, but I’d much rather avoid giving my phone number to as many apps as possible.

    I heard accounts are supposed to be a thing but when I tried to install it last time it still asked me for my phone number.

    I have sort of used it as a daily driver during Uni on a shitty corebooted Chromebook. With i3wm and a Celery processor, It runs day to day fine.
    Nix-build though may take a fairly long time to finish.
    It is not a distro I recommend honestly based on my use cases(More for desktop, I don’t develop or need to rebuild multiple machines)
    But I stick with for some of its features
    Generational builds, never running into dependency hell, atomicity and reproducibility(which is also a negative point).

    I don’t use it for gaming or as a main machine fwiw, but I tried to run a game from gog that has a native Linux version and I still can’t run it, nix-ld and some weird things need to be done first.
    Documentations are kind of poopoo, I tend to rely on old blog posts or other things to configure things like syncthing and kde connect(though usually you only need to do them once anyway).

    That’s sort of my stance about it as “Someone that knows how to use computers a good amount but isn’t a programmer”.

    I updated my old SE 2020 to 18 to see what it is like.
    Feels snappier(I think?)
    Photos app is worse though.
    Math Notes is alright, I’ve always used NumWorks for math stuff.
    Didn’t try Screen Mirroring because my main phone is still on iOS 17, and won’t update until at least 18.1 if I have any desire to.
