Nintendo was super competent with the Switch, their kernel is actually ridiculously secure. I’m pretty sure if Nvidia hadn’t messed up, we would still be scratching our heads with the Switch.

It’s not impossible or even hard to lock down Linux. Just look at Chrome OS, it’s Gentoo based, but with the bootloader locked and root access removed, it is pretty much immutable.
And Chromebooks just use off the shelf parts.
At about 24 years old I finally started feeling like an actual adult. Living alone, taking care of my things and my pets, having a stable relationship. Part of growing up is just accepting that there’s some of parts of you that will never grow up, I’m still a goofball and that’s just part of me.
If only they offered a solderless version.
The new engine is finally out for PC, nice. That means better performance in endgame maps.
I symlinked the game folders from a NTFS drive to steamapps/common/ on my ext4 drive, and it works fine. Of course the compatdata and shader caches are on the ext4 drive.
You plug it into a dock with a good monitor, keyboard and mouse, and you have a decent desktop experience going.
You can do that, but be aware, upscaling with FSR takes a performance hit. It’s not a big one but can make the difference between stable and unstable 30FPS.
Yup. Standard 2230 M.2
In most it doesn’t matter, but in some newer games like Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, the difference is massive.
Can you point me to a $350 laptop with similar specs? And the form factor is the whole selling point, duh.
Yes, but shader caches always go to the internal memory, so that will fill up even if the games themselves are installed to the SD card.
I got the 64GB and swapped the SSD for a bigger one. It was painless and now I have 1TB of internal memory for less than the price of the 256GB model.
On launch day, 70/30 chance in favor. For example, Baldurs Gate 3 is working perfectly and it just came out. Some newer games may require Proton fixes that can take a couple days to roll out though.
I could never play Guild Wars 2 without them either, and it’s one of my most played games. One of the reasons I got a Deck too.
I recently finished Planescape Torment, and I can only imagine how much I would’ve hated it without the touchpads.
How comes Valve is the only one to get inputs right? Not even fan renders get it right.
All the collection achievements in Arborstone are side quests in disguise. They are fully voice acted and everything.
The only thing holding me back is VR, I have a Quest 2 and the PC drivers are only for Windows.
There’s a lot they could have done, locking down Linux isn’t that hard. Just look at Chrome OS, it’s based on Gentoo, yet it’s locked down completely. All they had.to do is lock the BIOS, enable secure boot and disable root access, and then it’s pretty much a locked system.
