continuing the Steam Deck thoughts, i don't think i talked about performance yet so far, i can get comparable, or even -higher- fps in CPU bound games than on my desktop (Ryzen 7 1700, RX 6600 XT). FFXIV and Elden Ring being the main two i play where this is the case, plus some emulated games and then, of course, the 90Hz screen lets me enjoy very smooth gameplay in less intensive games can't praise the Deck enough, really #SteamDeck

before I switched to Linux, I had almost exclusively used Windows (very briefly used a Mac in the mid 2000s) starting with Windows 98 and you know what got me to try Linux for the first time, 8-9 years ago? I saw a video of someone using GNOME 3. and it looked really cool. *because* it was so different from Windows I had my distro- & DE-hopping days for a long while, but I landed back on GNOME a couple years ago, with GNOME 40. and it's still really cool #GNOME #Linux
