I watched the show involuntarily at first but it was alright after some getting used to.

My 2 cents:

  • Finland should have been top 5 minimum
  • Ireland should have been top 3
  • I would have been okay with 'Baby Lasagna' to win as well

Many artists were quite interesting, queer and political - which was not something I had expected. It was a pleasure to watch with a queer poly kinky bubble :D

Other than messing with my scaling and two incompatible applets it just runs absolutely fine. Glad I waited for a week - was thinking about installing it from testing.

My setup is 4k on two displays. The Intel GPU can't handle them on 60Hz I guess. There is a thinkpad dock involved as well, so I think I'm stuck with HDMI and the dedicated gpu. I tried a lot of things :/

I'd love to run hybrid graphics with free drivers, don't get me wrong.

I also love running steam games and video acceleration and with my previous setup it was mostly unstable. My current setup just works, with minor effects like reduced battery times and picom bugs.

I use i3 on a thinkpad p50 with hybrid graphics (Intel + nvidia). Works sort of stable if I force the use of the dedicated card, but I'm getting like 1,5h of battery.

Video acceleration seems to work most of the times, but for a few weeks I have problems with picom freezing my screen, capping fps in games and video. Any ideas? It took me hours to have it running sort of smooth, so I'm hesitant to try out sway and ruin my daily setup

Devices will be outdated anyways. But the steam deck you don't have to hack. You just enable things with touch buttons.

Valve learned from other consoles they get hacked anyways, so they enabled you to do all the mods - while at the same time you won't have to fiddle with pirated games for a fee. Personally I don't think this strategy will change - and if they release a more closed steam decknin the future piracy is an option again. On another device then.

It is possible but for things like a steam deck you just move on to the next store or piracy. It's so open you get trapped by convenience not by encryption or premium features.

My 2008 brother laser printer for ~80€ is still doing great. A replacement toner is like 17€ or so. It just works.

You may have a look at places like xda-developers forum to find out about the support your phone has. Some devices are hard to run custom ROMs on. If the support is good there's nothing in the way to use it reliably on a daily basis
