You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
On the NTFS thing, Steam really does not like NTFS drives in my experience. Converting to Ext4 would be a good idea for gaming purposes.
You actually can’t anymore. Let it go my dude.
Bro, what sort of hate-train are you on?
You can dislike the iPhone, that’s totally cool and your prerogative. But making up lies just looks silly.
You can’t install or update a single app on a google play protected phone without an account either, and now that sideloading is getting locked down your options are even fewer. And what’s this nonsense about no calculator? The iPhone has had a calculator since 2007.
That is completely false. You can setup an iPhone and place a phone call without an Apple account.
Insane how people get so worked up over other people’s opinions and reply with incorrect conjecture.
Some real fanboyism going on in here.
Every Samsung phone I’ve had came with Facebook, onedrive, bixby, AR Emoj, and a bunch of other stuff. You can remove almost everything from an iPhone except the App Store.
Proton existed long before the Steam Deck, and before that as DXVK.
This is a battle between closed proprietary OS and open source. Proton enables translating DirectX/Windows APIs not only to Vulkan/Linux x86, but even to ARM and BSD.

Highly recommend ditching SteamVR and using Monado on Linux. Envision makes it super easy.

In fairness they’re not the same thing - recall records everything you do making a nice single honeypot of all your actions. Apple’s thing is really just a search bar that can reach into apps like email, calendar, etc - it’s not recording your bank logins. Google Play Services tracks everything you do on Android and sells it to advertisers.
A valid point, the main issue at hand is that the iPhone is locked down to Apple’s approved store - you can’t just install things like a regular computer. That’s really the core of the lawsuit regarding the insane 30% cut Apple forces on their mobile computing platform.
This is by far the better solution, use GE:
Steam isn’t a monopoly.
The PC is an open platform, you can use any game store or launcher you want - unlike the iPhone, Android (without sideloading), PlayStation, switch, or Xbox.
And costs a yearly subscription, also random features get removed every month.
This is an advanced setup, dual boot is far simpler for a new Linux user.
Highly recommend wlxoverlay for monado, for me SteamVR overlay never has a working desktop view so I can’t see my monitors.
It’s been broken for years and valve will never fix it: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/426
Just FYI, use Monado for VR, SteamVR is a massive pile of trash on Linux.
I run an RPi4 at 4k30 and it does well.

I’d recommend using Envision to have a nice GUI: https://lvra.gitlab.io/docs/fossvr/envision/
