The video hasn’t been released yet, they teased it on the wan show last night.

With GameHub lite you can run steam games on high end android phones right now. GameHub lite is based on the work valve has been doing to get games running on ARM. I won’t be surprised if valve announces official steam for android in the next few years. (Steam for android as in an app that can run your games not just browsing the store).

I like Kubuntu, mostly because I’m familiar with Ubuntu and I like KDE. Unfortunately, I had to move back to Windows 10 because of a professional app that I couldn’t get running.

When I was trying to make Kubuntu work. I installed flatpak so I would primarily use apps from flathub. The snaps were actually pretty useful if there were issues with the flatpak and the native binary. I also force installed the official Mozilla Firefox binary which was pretty easy. Personally I didn’t mind having snaps as an option. At least in Kubuntu it was easy to select which version of the package you wanted in the GUI.

Before I realized snaps could be useful I messed around with uninstalling snaps but they don’t make it easy or straightforward. It’s easiest just to ignore them if you don’t like them. Or pick a different distro if that’s a deal breaker for you.

Otherwise Ubuntu had the fewest issues/annoyances of the distros I tried. But maybe I’m just used to Ubuntu having toyed around with it for years.

Damn, I’m not sure I have the stamina for 3 weeks of that.

I’ve wishlisted and the demo downloaded to my steam deck.

I’m planning on moving to the IoT edition of windows 10 when support ends. It’s supported till 2032. Hopefully by then the professional apps I need will be sorted out on Linux.

I held onto jailbreaking till the end. I have a iPhone on iOS 17.0 and TrollStore for permanent sideloaded apps. It’s pretty awesome! There hasn’t been anything like a jailbreak or TrollStore since then. I wish I had bought an iPhone 15 on iOS 17.0 at launch so I could hold onto this as long as possible. Having a lower end iPhone I’ll probably need an upgrade in the next year or so.

You can get a similar experience to TrollStore by paying for an Apple developer account or a third-party signing service that abuses Apple developer accounts. It seems android users may have to do a similar thing in a few years.

We have the largest prison system in the world per capita four times over. You can thank senator Joe Biden for that. We’re already the United prison systems of America.

As soon as the download notification is gone, the file doesn’t exist anymore.

That seems to be how Android literally works though.

Both the default network mounting options in Gnome and KDE won’t let applications access the network drive. You have to mount using SMB4k or cifutils if you want application access. I’ve not used MacOS in over a decade but that functionality works seamlessly in windows for SMB shares. It’s honestly a minor reason (among others) I went back to windows.

This is a pretty decent overview of the ideas in that book for anyone who is interested.

Well, I would like to switch to Linux but my VR headset is holding me back. Linux does have its own annoyances. I would probably still have to virtualize windows because of productivity software I need.

I also use an engineering sample CPU so uhhh… I’ve learned to stop worrying and love the jank.

It’s basically just Microsoft being shit heads on their development of the Windows Mixed reality drivers that creates that specific edge case. Hopefully the open source monado drivers will be a good replacement eventually. Most everything else should work fine.

I only know because I had windows 10 LTSC when I bought my headset and tried to get it working and found reddit threads with the same issue. I tested the windows 11 IoT when it came out because I hoped it would support my headset then I found out they are dropping support next year.

There needs to be a class action lawsuit about this to either open-source the drivers or to refund all those who purchased WMR devices.

Maybe it’s all in my head, but I tried it a while back and it felt less snappy than clean windows 10 but more snappy than stock windows 11. It also retains a lot of the annoyances of stock windows 11.

Unfortunately I can’t use it because I have a WMR VR headset and it’s unsupported on the IoT and LTSC.

There’s a YouTube channel called memories tech tips and he’s developing a script that you can add to your ISO that will have a similar effect to the LTSC. That in combination with Chris Titus techs ultimate windows utility after first boot makes setting things up much easier.
