Gregory's ServerAh yes, CUPS, that integral structural part of Linux where if it doesn't exist, Linux simply is unable to function and be called Linux

 @BrodieOnLinux btw it was pointed out that recent versions of steamos do have cups installed, but disabled by default
@BrodieOnLinux
>if you activate dev mode you go to the power menu and one of the options is "desktop mode". It's not even a special dev mode, it's a very visible reboot option.  @BrodieOnLinux cpus isn't installed on vanilla arch by default, is that not a linux distro then..?
 the kernel is LinuxNow I'm beginning to doubt OP understands DE and WMs properly. @BrodieOnLinux haters gonna hate . Anyway ѕo if I boot my Arch Linux PC, run Steam and enter Big Picture Mode, it suddenly becomes not Linux… or is it just because I have Steam installed? І՝m confused   @BrodieOnLinux you can also just… install cups? the X11 thing is a legitimate criticism of SteamOS, but it’s not a legitimate criticism of the idea that it’s linux lol  @BrodieOnLinux that moment when Arch is "ChromeOS" because CUPS isn't included (CUPS originally being created by Apple makes it even more funny somehow) @BrodieOnLinux Ah yes X11, the least Linux thing imaginable. Especially if you build custom code for it.  @BrodieOnLinux I think not having things like cups (when you don't need them) is a good thing  @BrodieOnLinux its also extremely easy to install Bazzite on the steam deck anyways which is much easier to install programs and things on anyways, and is made specifically for steam deck and other handhelds @v0idness That's actually changing as of CES today, Valve is officially supporting other handhelds  @BrodieOnLinux i didn't realize there was a 'dev mode' on those, like it literally makes it a handheld linux machine? that's very cool actually @chrisisgr8 You can turn of the immutable part and just use it like Arch, it's not recommended, it'll probably break something but it's an option  |
@BrodieOnLinux Confidently wrong people treating others like they are ignorants is always so funny like bro just look stuff up 😭
