For sure.
I am excited to see more arm-based Linux devices for consumers. And the Snapdragon-based VR is exciting on that front.
It definitely won’t change anything for tomorrow or next year, but it does make me hopeful that better support is in the relatively near future.
I run Bazzite and Garuda (with the cachyos kernel). Only the Garuda box is Nvidia and has been great since kde+Wayland+Nvidia stabilized a year or so ago.
I think any of them (including cachyos) is a good choice. Optimization is diminishing returns, so I’d be looking for a distro with the default settings and tools I like as a much higher priority.
For example, I like Garuda’s btrfs with automatic checkpoints on upgrade so I can just send a garuda update (which is pacman Syu with bells and whistles) and almost ignore the output even when I get lazy and don’t update for a month. Don’t take this as a recommendation to ignore updates on an arch-based distro. There will eventually be consequences.
With bazzite, updates really are in the same class because of the immutable base. But I’m also deep into containers and have no issue with the ergonomics of layering and management, which are improving, but definitely not very newbie friendly.
Anyway, give them test drives. You’d be surprised how much changing a package manager can impact your ability to do things for a while if you aren’t familiar.
Layers, intentional or not.
Template:
I see. Yeah, that compose file is gross unless you’re running this on a dedicated vps, and even then…
I haven’t run snikket before, but it looks straightforward to me. Maybe the documentation has improved?
Tiling WM and Gruvbox. Doesn’t get any better!
I have entire conversations and then 5-30min later realize I had a conversation and panic because I can’t remember anything about it except that words were exchanged.
Something like the modmic wireless might be a solution that could work with whichever headphones?
I use an RF wireless steelseries headset for work/gaming, but it is mediocre audio quality at best (and they’re closed cans).
It seems like the only time I encounter this oddness is when some upstream docker image maintainer has done a weird with users (I once went 3 image levels up to figure out what happened).
Or if I borrow a dockerfile and don’t strip out the “nonroot” user hacks that got popularized years ago.
Our first official date was opening night for the Nic Cage movie The Family Man. Married 3.5 years later.
Just remember that actual profit isn’t important to investors. They’re only here make money on the growth of the investment.
Goddamn parasites.
5B run rate explains the wild 183B valuation better. The calculus is usually a solid return after 3 years and double or better by 5, so they’re being on something like a 500B valuation by 2030.
And they very likely won’t be profitable in the real sense even then.
We should all pitch in and send this person some company born out of a cult flatware.
I see. That definitely makes 13B way more sane.
$500 million in run-rate revenue
Absolutely astounding that they can raise $13B on a sixth round of funding on that.
For the less finance jargon savvy, “run-rate revenue” just means projected annual revenue.
All this means they spent 3 years of revenue to make this go away.
Absolutely not a profitable business lol.
You can search the package database to determine which package(s) provide a file with dpkg --search $file
I might recommend starting with a project.
Something like getting pi-hole running. This would help you learn some of the networking basics. But I’d recommend reading at least enough to have a conceptual foundation about the things you don’t understand along the way (DNS, DHCP, etc).
You’ll want one of their supported OS choices to keep things simple. That means one of: fedora, debian, ubuntu, or centos. I might steer you away from centos just because its user base is a bit more linux-pro so finding specific help might be more daunting, but I don’t have much experience with it either. Maybe use a “server” variant to keep your system demand to a minimum (boot to terminal only).
Mongo DB popularized the “document DB” model which is just storing JSON in a database and offering a way to interact with it roughly like you would data in a traditional relational DB.
7ish years ago, they got fed up with the major cloud providers offering their free software as a service and changed their license to one that is more restrictive.
Of course this is sort of the inevitable outcome: a cloud provider builds a competing product and then “open sources” it in a way that will allow them to grab mind share and eventually erode the company that dared to demand compensation for a “free” product.
Microsoft added a middle finger by announcing it just before mongo released quarterly financials too.
The framework 13 definitely has a fingerprint reader. Top right corner power button, just like a Mac.

Just as usable as the one on my old M2 Pro work laptop too.
Fwiw, I did the DIY and brought my own 32gb of ram and 2TB nvme to keep the costs down a bit.
I think this is the right answer.
If the drive isn’t ext4 formatted, steam os won’t automatically mount.
Here’s a tool that seems to be able to do it for any drive: https://github.com/scawp/Steam-Deck.Mount-External-Drive
