No but I could see SteamOS taking this crown in the long run

Let’s compare against msrp please.

Or they could have included them with the controller at-cost instead of making us pay $15 to $30 (the official battery packs are $30) PER CONTROLLER - many of us have more than one.

Same!

Oh hey Marcus!

They haven’t released them yet, only announced.

Who the fuck is complaining about having both? Thats such an insane take.

They still support the original steam controller and the steam link though.

Why would you call closed source client apps “open”?

Its not better per se compared to other Linuxes for gaming, just pre-configured to take a lot of the basic setup work out of it for you.

No, it doesn’t.

Yup. Its not the default anymore (and for good reason), but it is still supported for now. This is a pretty straightforward solution to the problem.

Both are really good but it depends on your hardware setup and your goals.

Do you have multiple monitors of different resolution and DPI mixes with a primary monitor thats 1440p or 4k at 90 to 144hz and/or variable refresh rate and older/cheaper side monitors that are 1080p 60hz? Wayland is going to be your best friend.

Do you have a single monitor setup (or identical monitors) that you primarily program on or do system admin work that you need remote desktop from? X11 is gonna be your go-to (for the foreseeable future).

Do you want to try exotic window managers like a sliding window manager? Wayland is the way to go.

Wacom tablet? Wayland is working on it but its not quite there yet so X11 for you artists. This also lets you keep using color profiles until Wayland gets that implemented too (my bets are on Plasma getting it first).

And so on.

Do note though that MeshCore is proprietary and has a licensing cost to unlock all of its features whereas Meshtastic is open source and free as in freedom.

No, there’s no button for me to delete your post.

It really isn’t unfortunate, though.

What a useless comment.

I mean, you can drain someone else’s bank account via the internet.

Thats not true. If it were, the drama wouldn’t pull so many views on-platform and spawn tons of conversation off-platform.

It’s perfectly okay if you don’t care about it, but please be mindful of attributing ones own views on life and current events to the masses without hard evidence.

It makes perfect sense if you’re a systems engineer.

Downloading games costs bandwidth.

Steam services millions of customers daily.

Valve, correctly, decided to do a bit of load-balancing by prioritizing updates by how recently and frequently you play them, and spreads them out.

This is nicer to their systems, and its nicer to most people who don’t live alone and have to share internet with other human beings in their home (or at work).

You’d think it would be no big deal, bandwidth is “infinite” and “free” in most peoples minds. But there is a maximum throughput, and there is a cost in energy, time, performance, and money.

Load-balancing, people. It saves lives.
