You can connect your Steam Deck to your PC with USB, but all it's going to do is charge it.

Popular distributions are the one you're thinking about.

Some distributions advertise themselves as "gaming oriented" but you don't need those, generalist distributions work just as well for gaming.

Survival of the fittest. As is, the type of game that makes the more money.

Well doom can run on a freaking pregnancy test. At that point if it had any kind of processor and a screen, it can run Doom.

The problem is that the Steam Deck plays PC games, that were designed for a big screen. You can't make the screen much smaller than the current Deck while keeping it legible.

The Game gear and GBA played games that were nothing like the home console games of their time.

This is what the Switch brought to the table. Breadth of the Wild was a great home console title, and you could play it handheld on the go.

It's slow and you depend on the wind blowing.

If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn't switch to petroleum for the fun of it. Environmental issues put aside it's a pretty great source of energy.

Yeah, but everyone could see that as soon as they released it.

It doesn't matter how it's implemented, it could have been done as an app from day one.

But they made it a device instead because it makes it easy to raise funds and to get journalists to talk about it. As simple as that.

Well there is a reason we stopped using those.

It's the natural evolution of SMS. And SMS does what no messaging app does, it lets me send a text message to any mobile number without having to wonder whether the other party has installed the same app as me.

When I make phone calls, it's between me, the person I'm calling and our carriers. I want it to be the same for text messages.
