I appreciate that Valve is trying and putting out good stuff

It’s just unfortunate everything is on fire while they try.

I'm not happy, but sadly not surprised either.

Yeah, not surprised at all.

At this rate, I'm going to have to take up a cheaper hobby, like car racing.

As someone that's been getting into Overlanding, car stuff is also insanely expensive, too. Prices keep going up for fabricated parts, plus the shipping.

I might need to take up a cheaper hobby, like flying airplanes.

Or movie production, or space exploration, or...

kinda of a raw deal given the effort valve has already put into fex emu (and likely, into the turnip mesa driver as well).

not that qualcomm seem to care much about desktop Linux, though that may change with oobe (and the expectations therein) for llm shit.
