Are we going to get one of these threads every few days?

Not without tinkering, but isn't that always the case with Linux?

Well, the problem is honestly just Windows. It's not designed for mobile or touch interfaces at all, and all the telemetry and crap bloatware degrades the battery performance. If you get rid of all of that stuff it's actually on par with the Linux equivalent.

I dual boot my Ally and I actually spent time messing around with different OSes. ChimeraOS was not ready when I had initially given it a shot (around March) and it crashed constantly and didn't have full support for things like RGB. I also tried Bazzite at that time and it was a similarly strange experience. It's gotten much better in the last few months. I've been running Bazzlite on my Ally since early July. HHD has progressed immensely and offers a lot of good control over the device.

If you start off with the IoT version of Windows, it comes with essentially nothing. The store app isn't installed, but neither is Teams or Paint. You don't actually have to spend time "debloating" it, since it comes more or less bloat-free. You actually have to spend more time installing dependencies and drivers than removing things. Run the telemetry disabling script and then you have a version of Windows that still sucks to use in general, but is much less awful on battery life.

Bazzite is fine. It's serviceable enough to get the job done. The hardware is supported through a bunch of different emulation tools and bespoke applications like HandHeld Daemon for hooking into power draw and managing extra buttons.

Bazzite is based on the Holographic base that SteamOS uses, but opts for a Fedora-based immutable back-end over Arch. Running SteamOS itself is going to be better once Valve implements native support for all of these things that are covered by HandHeld Daemon, at least in theory.

Due to the non-optimal nature of both Windows and Linux at this stage, they tend to perform about equally.

I get that the Fediverse is disproportionately made up of Linux users, but the reality right now is just that no operating system is fine-tuned for the hardware its running on besides SteamOS and the Deck itself. It's not better yet, but it's getting better at a massive clip - which is above and beyond whatever Microsoft is doing (looks like nothing) to improve their software for the form factor.

They mentioned they might be making community testing servers. I think that would make all the difference.

It also doesn't help that they apparently test on level 5 and a lot of us are playing 6-10.

Well, I think the performance issues were definitely understated. I know the patch notes said "we have stability issues in difficulty 10" but we went for it anyway, and it feels like not a single match goes by without at least one person disconnecting or crashing.

Additionally it makes zero sense to have nerfed fire and then put out an all fire-based battle pass. That was going to lose them points. It's not like the flamethrower was particularly good at anything besides burning bugs to a crisp, and now none of it is good for anything.

It also helps that nutomic and Dessalines are both certifiable.

It's kind of a shame. I really like the platform and the concepts inherent to federated social media, but it really sucks that the maintainers of the codebase are hostile to any ideology but their own.

That's also fair, because I think Lemmy has a massive sourcing problem in general.

People straight up post propaganda. I get that every news source is biased but when the url is like therealtruth.xyz, it starts to get increasingly suspect.

Nobody wants to read articles, they just want to read headlines and react.

You could post an archive.is version of whatever you wanted to discuss and 85% of the comments will still not have actually read the article. It has nothing to do with availability of information and more to do with the laziness of internet users in general.

I would have said Teletoon is a no-brainer to put it on, but they're owned by Corus/Shaw. I'm so out of the cable game I didn't even realize Teletoon had been retired as a brand and replaced with Cartoon Network.

I went to go looking at the Bell Media offerings and you're right, they simply do not have any kind of kids channel. Both YTV and Cartoon Network are owned by Shaw. They likely just don't want to try to compete in this space, since Shaw would have the rights to basically everything worth airing and streaming.

~~Whatever happened to Shomi? Wasn't that Shaw and Rogers' streaming service?~~ Rogers acquired Shaw a few years back and have the rights to all that stuff now I guess. They put it on StackTV and sell it through Amazon.

Fearsome wizard powers.
