Gonna try this immediately.

I really, really wanted to love the Futo keyboard. I was so inaccurate with it I couldn’t function. It required tapping every key instead of swiping.

I’m also super curious because I’ve tried several and hated then so much … What I went back to Gboard, deeply defeated.

Nothing else worked well for swipe typing. I need that. Lol.

That’s kind of my point. The bias is laid bare and I vious for those that listen. NPR did the very best at sharing information while fighting hard to stay neutral, AND kept listeners and viewers informed.

They’ll continue their mission, but many smaller affiliate stations that only have Sinclair media broadcasting in their neck of the woods are going to be moderately more screwed than they already were, with more conservative agitprop pretty much occupying their airwaves.

The bias was ordered from the top down …

TBH it’s been frustrating to see how watered down the reporting has been this year.

Listening to KQED (local NPR affiliate) I was hearing taking heads from the CATO institute and the Heritage Foundation, without any qualifications of what those orgs are.

You can really feel the slide into milquetoast, neutered, both-sides press from every major outlet and the domestic landscape, but it’s still a head above trying to get your news from CNN/CNBC/MSNBC/WaPo.

I can’t fathom people on this platform being offended by how left-wing the people’s Media has been though, historically, when NPR/PBS have gone out of their way to be so damned neutral and nakedly honest in their coverage, and have proceed ACTUAL journalism in even remote corners of our country.

People should be deeply grateful for NPR, and PBS has been a national treasure. I still can’t believe we defunded Sesame Street and at the same time that anyone has an axe to grind with the only unbiased reporting left in our nation.

Thanks for the link.

Yep, back to scoring the open web or being SEO’d into hellish sites that have six “DOWNLOAD” links, five of which are probable for syphilis.

Yep. One of my friends don’t realize that he got very… Let’s say Libertarian … Very quickly.

Unrelated, welcome to Lemmy.

Thanks for sharing all of this and I’ll have to take it for another spin.

Quest is a whole SOC, a beefy Snapdragon computer that has its own environment, and needs software to link it with the desktop housing SteamVR.

I’ll have to try Steam’s maybe platform and see if I can forego Virtual Desktop. Or at least dual boot

Thanks, kind stranger, and I might take you up on that, in the days ahead.

I get that it won’t be turnkey like in Windows and that I’ll probably need a Windows partition (or a dedicated system) for some time longer.

Just so we are clear, you are able to play Steam PCVR games and use the SteamVR environments on your Kubuntu system?

Added monkey wrench, I just use ‘Virtual Desktop’ for streaming 100% of my PCVR content to a Quest 3 wirelessly. I assume handling the controllers and telemetry is all software for Steam and not needing obscure system calls or api’s that will have driver complications?

'Cause in hella ignorant. Lol.

There’s no putting the toothpaste back in the tube. Kinda just buckling up and wondering what the new normal will look like, but the feeling of hopelessness is increasingly pervasive.

Evidently not, given the rise of PLTR … They are just fine with the unaccountable murders and totalitarianism, so we all get to be, too.

Can you please provide further analysis? Are you saying the Linux growth is more or less meaningful, and showed by regional players’ participation? Or… Something else?

And yet, here we are. What are you even doing, responding to everyone on this group, if you just want to do work and just want to use Windows?

How is this informative, edifying or fun for you?

Bazzite feels so close to feature complete, but there are still corners I stub my toes on.

I have to care about whatever Wayland is, because RustDesk on Bazzite fights me (it’s my backup for remoting to fix a machine when moonlight or Steam Link is misbehaving), and I miss Steam PCVR hosting, but both of those are edge cases for most folks and I can forego on most systems.

Meanwhile, the lean, light, singularly focused environment is great and I really do like not having to bother with Windows. I never want Edge to barge in on my day again. I will never subscribe to OneDrive. I don’t want an AI companion modem Bonzai Buddy to “help” me remember anything, and memorize my SSN or Birthday along the way.

Can you do me a favor and block me, too? Please? Because I’m also tired of your vitriol and just want to talk about how much I like gaming in Bazzite and on my Steam Deck.

The things that keeps me coming back to Windows in my gaming rig is mostly VR, which I haven’t been able to get working on Bazzite.

Though I steam my games with Apollo/Moonlight to Mac’s and handhelds, so I rarely need to look at Windows at all.
