    Some of my fav quotes:

    “Ads in an operating system that you’ve paid for from a company that owns ridiculous amounts of money is so offensive.”

    “data, it’s like the new gold to people”

    “I got the confidence to really jump into Linux after the Steam Deck.”

    [regarding the terminal] “You just see text going across the screen, they’re working at lightning speeds.”

    “I’m kissing convenience goodbye, I just want control.”

      “I got the confidence to really jump into Linux after the Steam Deck.”

      I offered my son (16) to get him an “office” computer for his room so he can do homework and emails and junk. He said he felt so comfortable with Linux because of the Steam Deck and we could instead just get a nicer monitor and a docking station and he will use the Deck as a gaming machine AND office workstation whenever our main computer (also Linux) is busy

        I think it should be really clear to everyone now that the Steam Deck is exactly the kind of thing that Linux needs: nice hardware with a well-integrated OS that is designed to be user-friendly and has some guardrails to prevent you from breaking it.
