@cassidy not into games (either playing or developing) for a few decades now 😂 so somehow I totally missed this.

feels like a turning point of sort with apparently millions of devices already shipped?

Also an important boost for #KDE

@cassidy this is the linux user agenda!!! The left is pushing linux and FOSS down our throats, we have to rebel by using facebook and MacOS! /s

@cassidy Frankly, I've been a Linux user for over two decades now, and the Steam Deck is literally my FIRST contact with Flatpaks.
It was annoying not being able to find stuff in my $HOME, but after a while I figured out where both Lutris and Dolphin flatpaks drop their files.

I'm not a terribly big fan of the "package everything the distro provides again" as it requires updating each flatpak individually if a dep updates, but I see the need for an easy deployment method.

@cassidy the steam deck is more than a gaming console

@cassidy so basically, you think flatpak, flathub and freedesktop are bad things, along with the steam deck? if not, I'm sorry, trojan horses usually are a bad sign.

@cassidy Personally I've heard about immutable distributions for some time but never tried any. Now that I own a Steam Deck I realized how viable they are with flatpak!

@cassidy there is such thing as a good trick as this demonstrates,and is a win for KDE, I wish I understood more why people prefer them (despite preferring to also use them whenever I think it's easier)

@cassidy lololol my ocd…

@cassidy what are flatpack, flathub and freedesktop?

@cassidy
My Steam Deck is running great with NixOS so you do not have to use flathub at all

@cassidy What's the issue with that?
