Even a potato can run Linux so regardless of a distro it should be all fine.

A potato with a GPU only compatible with deprecated Nvidia drivers would still be just that and a hard pass for Linux.

Luckily this notebook is AMD-based, so should be fine. Maybe the WiFi card could cause trouble.

Always porting not-yet-upstreamed patches to new release kernels is additional work to the upstreaming work towards the latest development tree. The Valve engineers interviewed around the very first Steam Deck announcement said their goal with moving from Debian to Arch was to minimize the patchset maintenance burden. Their approach surely has that goal in mind. There are only two variants of Steam Deck with minor differences between them. If backporting patches from newer kernels is less work than forward porting their patches, they just stay with that version for a while. Updates to drivers for hardware they don’t use and filesystems they don’t use aren’t relevant to them anyway.

Them switching to PowerVR GPU is also interesting. Not sure if itis related to Qualcomm-ARM lawsuit.

They used Mali graphics previously.

They cannot veto it. The patents for x86-64 and SSE2 lapse next year. The only say they have is on extension newer than these two.

X64 doesn’t exist. Microsoft used the label for Windows for a while to distinguish from IA64 (Itanium) and 32bit x86 editions of Windows but these days Microsoft moved mostly away from those labels and only uses them when talking about ARM.

It could be a web app like Voyager but you really shouldn’t just enter your credential willy nilly all over the place.

Do they mean running of the host system libraries rather than Valve’s runtimes?

AFAIK yes

Bluesky is the promise of Mastodon with none of the failsafes of Mastodon.

Why do farmers keep buying that shit?

You replied to a comment referencing the open source definition and it’s clear you did never read it.

Atlassian could sell extensions, though, they would just need to comply with the AGPL. The AGPL means that the entire platform must comply with the AGPL, so proprietary platforms couldn’t use it but in a fair “applies to everyone the same” and not “we don’t like you individually” kind of way.

How is that not open source?

Google “open source definition” and read for yourself.

Its still totally open source

No, it’s not. Those restrictions are against the open source definition.

Edit: Lol, people with no clue donvoting what they don’t want to hear. The open source definition is a fixed set of clauses. Read up on it.

I don’t know much about that game and I cannot speak for rape victims and their feelings of a comic strip but two repeated calls for your death over there with further excuses here are way over the line of a heated argument, so that person is now permabanned from here.

nvidia gpu) but did not succeed

Hardly surprising.

I think I tried Winamp back in the day but never really understood it.

What was there not to understand? It was a basic music player with playlist functionality, a plugin infrastructure to support playback of pirated music in underground formats like MP3, at the price of completely free and no ads (the website had banners but not the player).

Skill issue then

there’s more to an operating system that a program needs other than the kernel(?)

Yes, and the other parts have other names, like the toolkit GTK or the C standard library glibc and all those things make up a Linux distribution, like Fedora.

android just uses the kernel

Yes and the kernel’s name is “Linux”. No other software is named “Linux”. Ask Linus Torvalds if you don’t believe me.
