Debian Testing.

ARM systems don't have the whole ACPI thing to describe what hardware is where. Linux has to bodge together its view of the system with a devicetree instead. If you don't know what device IP blocks are integrated into the SOC (and locked behind an NDA), good luck blindly guessing. You don't even get EFI booting, you get shit like "the rpi gpu runs its own proprietary bootloader lol".

Has Qualcomm ever been helpful?

Lobster was an unbelievably buggy distro. I had no end of sleep and compositor problems, and outright system hangs on it. Minotaur was better, but still give me far too much crap.

I would rather run a "crack monkeys with a sourceforce account" nightly distro than go through Ubuntu's idea of a beta again.

What else am I supposed to do with it after I microwave my tea?

Sometimes when I go into Desktop Mode, X11 doesn't have any screens. The deck just sits there with a black screen, until I ssh in and kill plasma

It is rare to see a game get this wrong, the last one I saw was a Borderlands. If you look at a game's Steamdb cloud listing, they list Windows's save location, and then Mac/Linux saves are expressed as a rewrite rule.

Cloud saves on PS are handled quite simply - if you didn't pay for your very own PS Plus then go fuck yourself. I have lost dozens of Aloy hours on my brother's PS4.

I think "endurance" cards are where you get something reasonably non-self-destructive, for a modest premium.
