You may want to rephrase and clarify, and probably typecheck you text.

1·4 days agoA desktop computer cannot be used without peripheral (unless you use it as a server). They where separated from the chassis for flexibility sake, not because they were optional.
There was a time where everything was integrated into the chassis, screen included. Those were hefty beasts, loud, and hard to maintain, because when a peripheral broke, you had to service the whole unit instead of swapping the keyboard to a new one.As for the Deck, you have everything you need for its intended use, no peripheral needed. Of course, you can add some to make it work like a PC, but in such case, is it still only a Deck ?
We could argue for ages around that, but I think it boils down to philosophy. Some prefers maximalist definition, other prefer minimalist definition. I’m obviously of the later school, and you of the former.
So, how about we agree to have different opinions on the matter, and go on our respective way, instead of throwing oil on the fire of a sterile debate ?
Also, are you a llm from like 2021?
I’m a human with an opinion you may not share, for whom English is not his primary language. So grammatical error are to be expected. Now if you can come down of your high horse and not assume anyone with whom you do not agree is a LLM, that’d be great.
It is a personal computer, it runs Linux, I recognize KDE, I can fuck around in terminal. In what ways is it not a personal computer? I don’t understand.
Try to do a spreadsheet on the deck without any accessory. It is possible, but very fastidious. It isn’t an hardware made to do personal computing (aka, a PC), it is an hardware to play game.
A PC isn’t just a software, it is also a hardware specifically made to allow various computing tasks. Calculus, graphical work of various kinds, sometimes games (which have to adapt to peripherals that weren’t made for games in mind).
A Deck is made for games first, and the various other task you may want to do have to work around its limitation. From my point of view, this cannot be called a PC.
But that’s my opinion, I won’t force anyone else to agree with me, or call them a LLM out of spite.
So is any Android phone in such case. Form factor matters.
The Deck is a Linux handheld, that can be converted to a Linux PC depending on the accessories used. But by itself, with no accessories whatsoever, good luck using it as a PC.
A laptop can be considered as a PC, as it has all the peripheral integrated into his chassis, a desktop too (as it cannot be used without peripherals, they can be counted as part of it), but a Deck primary use is handheld gaming, not personal computing. Its included peripherals cannot allow it use as such.
A lot of custom work was done for it. Custom drivers, custom window manager, most of it upstreamed, if not all. It is not as different as an Android Phone, but I believe we can say it is not primarily a Linux PC, but rather an handheld that comes with an integrated Linux PC.

4·14 days agoOh, I’d be long dead before right winger dismantle our democracy. Either of old age or for resisting their takeover.
US prices are laughable right now. With the price of one egg you could buy a dozen in France.
I suppose an Ariane 6 could help at least for boosting and cargo. I don’t remember if it is rated for crew flight yet.

He is not making a expection to himself. Self promotion is allowed, if not excessive or from newly created account.
Note to the community :
self promotion is allowed on this community, what we disallowed is excessive self promotion.
Things like multiple post in a short timespan, not disclosing ones link to a specific game, or anything that is made to manipulate the community to make a game look better or more popular that it is really. Sames goes for new account posting ads to games, never to be seen againSo let’s check here:
- He disclosed his link to the game : yes
- Posted about it multiple times is a short time : I didn’t see anything like that, but feel free to report if it is the case
- Is active : yes
- No suspicious link : yes
In my book, this is 100% legit. No need to report.
On the other hand, they already sell it so high I ended up buying mine without RAM. I found 2x16Go for 125€ vs 180€ sold by Framework 😅. Same speed, but I can’t compare CAS as Framework do not list them on their page.
Edit : some source claims DDR5 5600 C46 for those sold by Framework, which is the same as the ones I bought. So I consider myself lucky, despite the price hike (the same kit was 65-70€ last summer)
Doomsider sure explained it better than you did, and he did defend his opinion, which you didn’t. Throwing strawmen arguments and insults around doesn’t do anything to allow meaningful conversations.
Considering your own argument length, I don’t think he’d need to invest more energy to make a more compelling one to counter yours.
So either elaborate yours, or go look at at the concept of “Bullshit‑asymmetry principle” (and associated concepts) when you’ll have time.
While I kinda admire your dedication at writing such lengthy insult, I’d like to remind you this is not an acceptable behaviour here.
FFXIV works great with a controller, I don’t see why GW2 wouldn’t with a similar gamepad oriented UI.
3·29 days agoIf JSAUX or ExtremeRate did not already made one. Hell, DBrand already announced a companion cube skin for the Steam Machine. 😂
According to reports it is. Not as easy as a hot-swapable one, but close. You just have to remove the back panel, pop it out and put the new one. No adhesive involved.
Funny anecdote, one of Reddit server was named after that game : Untitled Goose Server. That was a pool on the gold only sub, I was the one proposing that name.
