What?

You could hack something together with KDE widgets (plasmoids I think?), creating an array of app launchers on your desktop.

It’d be a completly manual way of doing it though, so up to you if you think it’s worth it.

I’ve been using Fedora KDE on a 5625U on my new laptop, gives me about 5 hours.

I use this program auto-cpufreq with the “Powersave” setting and that gives me about 7 hours with barely noticeable performance degredation.

• Proton & Lutris
• Libreoffice & Nextcloud
• G.I.M.P, Inkscape, Krita
• It’s cooler, more secure, more private, more trusting etc.
• More compatible than Windows 11 that’s for sure

Everyone should use Linux, it’s just whether or not they can use Linux.

I’m a teen and I second this opinion.

I hate it when a service advertises itself as “affordable”, being affordable is totally subjective.

And a lot of linux programs take inspiration from Microsoft’s design because they’re the norm. When you think of a word processor you think of Word, same goes for all of Office 365 actually.

Look for a large spike, that’d be the deck.

Yep, wired VR it is then for the time being. Because of a recent leak there’s speculation that Valve are releasing some new VR headset, also the fact that they updated the SteamVR UI to feel more “Steam Deck” is good evidence, I guess we’ll wait and see…

Is it? Yeah maybe not then.

Guess I’ll go live in the country.

I think the Quest 3 now has DRM and a bunch of other intrusive components, so that’s definitely off the table.

Pico looks promising, will have to do more research.

Hopefully we’ll see a couple of those “plans” crop up during the game’s life cycle, and hopefully a couple (hundred) bug fixes.

Plus official mod tools but I’m not too eager for them, I have full faith the modding community will perform miracles even without them.

A scoldingly hot take.

There’s already a script extender that’s gaining traction, so these tools will need to have some serious capabilities.

Now can everyone else do the same please.

I think the current status-quo of devices like laptops is unsustainable. For example just because the CPU is a bit slow doesn’t mean the RAM, GPU (If Applicable), PSU, Motherboard, I/O Ports, Display, Speakers, Camera, Keyboard, Trackpad etc should go too. The way it’s currently done is so incredibly wasteful and peak capitalist (Hi Apple 🫠).

So I’m 100% on board with Framework’s goal and, if it is financially feasible, you should go with them. Software is infinite, hardware is not. But if Framework’s is a bit too steep then I’d go with someone like System76 just because I don’t want to fuel the fire of Big Tech.
