You can, but for me there’s just too much to fiddle, and I can’t help tinkering with stuff.

Eh, Gnome is fine. I like KDE, but I’d rather use my PC for the stuff I want to use it for rather than obsessively change some stuff so it looks better only to change it the next time I boot it again.

It doesn’t really need it, you can just buy and play it, and it got a graphics update a while ago, so to me at least it looks as good as it looked back in 2005 when I first booted it up

When we’re talking game journalism, most of them aren’t even journalists, just 3rd party PR for publishers. Only thing they do is just forward marketing blurbs they receive, rather than journalism.

As someone with kids and a Switch, I think I can chime in.

It’s easy to pick up, my kids play some games on it, curiously it’s always in handheld mode, never docked.

The literal only thing that might change when I get a Steam Deck is them not being able to use touch controls. They sometimes prefer them for some games, but I think it’s worth learning to use a controller in the long run. Pretty sure we’ll have both Switch and SD for a while so I don’t think it’s much of a problem.

I’ll miss some games, but in the end I don’t really have that much nostalgia for Nintendo as I grew up with a PC and only consoles I had were a NES knock-off, and a Gameboy Color

IIRC it was only later models that were 4-9 hrs. Release model got 3-5 I think?

They switched (heh) production in later hardware revisions to a more efficient version of the CPU, manufactured with lower nm process. Conveniently it was also to stop easy access to debug pins which were exposed in the OG version, giving easy access to entire system

There is polish Blik. It’s cardless, and I think all major banks in Poland support it. They started expanding into Slovakia and Romania last I heard.

If we’re talking about Paris, it wasn’t part of Vichy France, but was directly occupied by Germany.
