I’d recommend looking into Bazzite. Built on top of Fedora for rock solid stability and relatively up to date kernel (with all the latest drivers).

They’re shooting for the same stability and high level gaming experience as Steam Deck, but for any computer.

I use Bluefin because I’m less bothered by gaming, but it’s been absolutely fantastic with the stability and ability to run anything I’ve tried.


This is definitely great news and refreshing to see from a company, but this came out two months ago.

Edit: it looks like Proton just recently sent an email about this to their ProtonMail subscribers which is likely why this got posted just now.


Except, prior to this announcement, there was apparently another statement from Anova that you can’t control the first gen ones.

the announcement follows an Anova statement saying it will no longer let users remotely control their kitchen gadgets via Bluetooth starting on September 28, 2025.


I would recommend Fastmail. They have a fantastic app that I prefer over the iOS mail app.


I have not tried it, but I’ve heard good things about bazzite as a good steam deck clone that has a strong community committed to Nvidia support.

Worth looking into at least!



I mean I assume you have to start somewhere to be able to improve, right? Like breakthroughs with TVs, no one would realistically use a vacuum tube when you can make an OLED display. But if we didn’t start with the vacuum tube we wouldn’t know what to improve on.


While in theory that is true, Chromium is still mostly controlled by Google. Some people may decide that they are going to maintain forks of Chromium that strip out certain features of Chromium, but the pace of development is relentless, releasing new builds several times per day. It would take some seriously deep pockets to be able to staff developers who can keep up with the contributions from Google and Microsoft and others and ensure their fork remains up to date and not broken.

So yes, someone could change that open source code, but it’s really not feasible in the long run, and so Google (and to a lesser extent Microsoft), can control the browser experience for the majority of desktop users, including things like Manifest V3 or that “Digital DRM” that we were hearing about a while back.



I’m not gonna comment on the Linux portion because you seem quite passionate, but both Libre Office and Open Office are cross platform apps. So they’ll work just fine with your OneDrive / Dropbox / Backblaze / whatever to give you the wonderful fully cloud synced experience on either Windows or Linux.
