This may be a hot take, but I don’t think every app needs a visionOS-specific version. I think mainstream video apps are just fine as 2D panels running the iPad apps, rather than AR or VR experiences designed from the ground up to perform the same purpose. The only real benefit I can think of is something like Amazon’s x-ray, but that’s a gimmick at best.

I have plenty of problems with Ubuntu and Canonical, but I can’t think of anything they’ve done that would make me doubt Ubuntu’s privacy enough to switch distros over. Of course, I daily drive Arch so there may have been something recent I’m just not aware of.

That’s kinda the beauty of the Steam Deck, no? It’s a pretty open platform. Someone who wants to dig into the system can go to desktop mode and use a full Linux OS. Someone who wants to use Windows for whatever reason can install and use it. Someone who wants to treat it as a console can just stick to game mode and never care what OS their console runs, much like how a Switch user doesn’t care what’s behind Horizon.
