A solid that isn't undergoing any sort of chemical reaction isn't going to smell because there isn't anything to smell. You need a molecule to enter your nose to smell. That's my basic understanding, someone smarter than I can explain it better.

Also I'm not sure any country still uses iron for coins.

I agree with the other posters, your hardware is going to hold you back. But you could try switching to a lighter desktop environment like LXDE instead of GNOME. This user found a small increase in performance: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/dg87jp/does_the_desktop_environment_matter_for_gaming/

But they had somewhat beefy hardware. If you're truly at the limit of your specs, 100% CPU/RAM usage, your performance increase could be even more.

There's a few that focus around inventory management. Backpack Hero and Dredge come to mind.

Does it? Los Angeles looks worse than New York City while having less than half the people. I imagine it's going to correlate more with amount of cars and distance cars drive.

No? Set termostat to a lower temp in the winter so the heater doesn't stay on as long. Higher temp in the summer so the AC doesn't stay on.

Another reason to keep it closer to the outdoor temp is clothing. I loathe places in the winter that have the heat cranked up, I dressed for the cold, I don't want to melt because businesses crank the heat up to 80F for some reason. Same with the summer, I'm shivering cause I dressed for 90F but inside is in the high 60's.

Had that exact issue with my first SteamDeck, I was able to RMA immediately. This was near launch which makes it understandable. But it's disappointing to hear they're still sending units out like this.

What does it mean by AMD support is unclear? You just need mesa which is included by default in most distros. Which is clearly included since it supports the SteamDeck.

Personally would go with a higher resolution, especially if you're using it for more than gaming. I recently purchased a 4K/165Hz monitor that I'm enjoying. 1080p is claustrophobic for me when not gaming, but I've been on 1440p for awhile.

Oh ya this one in particular is hideous.

For those curious, I threw 🥤^i - 🥤 = 3 into wolfram.

🥤 ≈ -2.97983 + 0.0388569 i... or 🥤 ≈ 0.27972 - 0.748461 i...

I don't really see it as overboard. People in Japan (and elsewhere) have wet rooms. I'm a fan of them, cleaning is easier and additional protection from flooding. It's the exact opposite of carpet in the bathroom.

It's confirmed steam deck compatible at launch, so it'll work fine.
