Technically, the Nintendo Switch uses Linux, and Android is Linux, so its kind of absurd the pushback Steamdecks are getting from these people. They aren't afraid of Linux; They are afraid of the posibility of running a terminal and interacting with a Desktop Environment that isn't Windows or MacOS. Doesn't make any sense.

More like "[hypothetical]"

What is that? Not just any old gun...

Finally, they're catering to the right customer base; ME.

ANY DAY NOW

We pay for subs to damn near every streaming service. I am constantly having to send them the passwords or even reset the passwords(to the same password), so they can login devices they've logged on a hundred times.

Fully expected to see something about "Mr Dumpster can hit it", then I read the scribbles lol

Next election is pretty much a choice between outright war, cullings, purges, genocides and ... not that. Literally the only way DJT could ever come close to delivering on half his promises, or survive the aftermath, is by eliminating enough friend and foe alike that the remainder are either die-hards or distracted by pillaging the dead and basking in their own "good fortune".

Do I trust Biden~~Blinken~~ to do any better? More like I trust him to at least pretend to give me enough plausible deniabity that I can maybe sleep at night, but mass starvations and refugees getting turned away from those safe/sustainable places that should welcome them are all but unavoidable, and already on-going, if he doesn't pull his head out of his ass(and Gaza is arguably experiencing everything I listed up-front). I would prefer a quick death vs starvation and disease, but I'm not about making that choice for others, nor allowing it to be made for me.

Edit: I keep forgetting that Blinken is actually the Secretary of State, not just a prejorative we use for Biden's refusal to see the obvious regarding genocide, student loans, and, until recently, climate change.

My teenaged son only recently stopped using an iMac G4 because it stopped turning the screen on at bootup(nor would it work with an external display - we got the VGA adapter). Was running Void Linux.

Multi-core processors already do this. Give the Android OS a Core or 4, the Linux OS a Core or 4(or however many). The power management already works in the suggested configuration as well: High-power cores are put to sleep when not in use.

The remaining question is whether the hardware virtualization is in place on the specific ARM chip in question to give/confine the one OS(virtualized/parallelized, not dual-booted) a specific Core or set of cores. It could be desirable to give Linux and Android each a low-power core and have them dynamically split the rest, with Linux controlling prioritization.

There are high-powered Linux apps. Moreso than Android in-fact.

outdated bullshit** bingo yeah

Something to look forward to when I get off the boat in 11 days!

Need an "emulator"(sandbox really) for old IOS apps. All the best games I ever played on IOS, games I paid for, were retired from the app store and replaced with substandard, ad/subscription based knockoffs, years ago.

Now I think about it, I've got a lot of android apps I keep sideloading to new devices that won't work if I try to actually use them, but at least I have convenient ways to preserve those.
