They're usually just called "crimp rings" or "cinch clamps", the former being the more popular term in my experience. They do require a specific crimping tool, but if you go to your local home improvement store they usually sell a kit that includes the tool with rings, and possibly even a PEX cutter.

Yeah, I mostly use Linux. Unfortunately, certain games only run on Windows and you're stuck using it if you want to play those titles.

Buy an OEM key next time, I've never spent more than 20 bucks for Pro.

It's an angle valve for sure, but it looks ancient. Nowadays the valve would be inserted into what looks like pex piping there on the right, and you crimp a ring over the piping to get a nice tight compression fit.

This device looks to be supported by the custom firmware project over here: https://mrchromebox.tech

Basically it allows you to replace the stock firmware and just run regular ol' Linux, entirely replacing ChromeOS.

There's also a pretty good video outlining most of the process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6oyqrrXTLM

I used archinstall to setup my laptop with Gnome and only use pamac-nosnap for package management (flatpak is fine, but fuck snaps).

I made the most noob Arch install ever and I love it.

I remember running DSL on the OG Xbox! Good times.

Torrentio works with other services, not just RealDebrid. Premiumize and AllDebrid are similar services that allow crypto.

The Steam Deck is already a couple of years old, so it's not that hard to do. This thing has better specs across the board, with even the base model having twice the cores and threads as the Deck.
