No

I think this is a bit more involved than extended file format support.

I didn’t say “use the other rootkit instead”.

“Owned By China” and “Owned by China 2”.

Luckily I never heard of this before, so my disappointment is manageable.

EDIT: LOL, depends on a CCP rootkit. Only idiots would install this.

Also not entirely sure what I would use it for since I’ve mostly seen it with rips of Blu-ray movies and shows, never smaller files. I thought its main advantage was holding multiple video, audio, and data streams.

WebM shows that Matroska is excellent for streaming. It’s the same container, WebM just mandates a set of codecs (just as MP4 as an offshoot of MOV can theoretically hold non-MPEG codecs but nobody supports this in the real world). With formal Matroska support, something like combining a HEVC video track with an Opus audio would be possible.

WebM is just Mastroska with most features disabled that are not relevant to streaming and a mandated set of codecs, so basic Mastroska support would have been possible years ago, simply by accepting the Matroska MIME types.

What gave you the impression that I thought it would?

What gave the completely irrational impression that filing a bug report before commenting was a requirement?

Didn’t know they disabled it

Right but presumably they chose the names?

I don’t know.

It’s not a requirement to file a bug report before you comment on anything. Don’t be silly.

It’s not a requirement but if anything is silly it’s acting as if an alpha version is the final release and complaining in a random forum would change anything.

Normally when people develop a feature they do it once and then it’s “done”

The feature (boot manager) was not developed by KDE. They rely in systemd components which are all in active development.

So did you file a bug report or are you just being negative in a forum the developers will probably never read?

You really think they’re going to revisit this?

I reserve my judgement until a final release is made.

That’s not really how software development works.

How does it work, then? Have you filed a bug report?

I really don’t understand why people have this little awareness of usability.

It’s an alpha release.

Is it really ready?

It’s an alpha release.

Samsung TVs run Tizen. If they have an AMD APU, running Steam natively would be possible. The biggest challenge is probably heat management.

My wife said it’s a Samsung Frame TV with SteamOS streaming built in…

While I think such a device is plausible in general, I don’t think Samsung would want to hand a “Frame” related TV trademark to a 3rd party.

with proton baked in

Finally a way to play all those Windows Phone games!

In case you’re just interested in the raw data:

Just get another handheld then, maybe a used ROG Ally, and install SteamOS or Bazzite. It’ll be fine.

I don’t know who those “we” people are but benchmarks have repeatedly shown that in low wattage situations the performance difference between Deck and the newer handhelds is negligible, so this prediction is hardly a surprise IMO.

A new power brick is needed anyway. That’s why FW now has a much more powerful one as well.

The 395 obviously would throttle if heat or power become a problem.

If GPD can put the 395 in a handheld, Framework can put it in a 16" chassis.
