Real Parmigiano Reggiano isn’t vegetarian thanks to the rennet, so an alternative of equal quality would be worth the price to anyone avoiding meat products.

I’m not sure about general reception, but I preordered the Steam Deck as soon as it went live and have been using mine for years, so it’s coming from personal experience. It’s okay for menus and light use, and there are definitely worse dpads out there, but I’m noticeably less accurate in 2D platformers than playing on PC or on Anbernic handhelds.

On mine, the diagonals are overly sensitive compared to the cardinal directions, and because of the mushy membrane (and glossy surface) there isn’t enough feedback to reliably stop those false diagonals. In platformers a diagonal input will often make you crouch and kill your momentum, so it can be a liability in certain games.

I hope they improved the dpad compared to the one on the Steam Deck. The Deck’s dpad feels quite mushy, and the glossy texture doesn’t help. I’d love a high quality controller with dual trackpads.

I moved to Cachy (Arch-based OS) in 2024, and it’s been perfect for me. I’ve used Linux since around 2012, and tried to move to it as a daily driver several times over the 2010s, but I wasn’t able to stick with it due to drivers/software compatibility. Cachy is the first time it really clicked, and offered everything I wanted without needing to dual-boot.

People always talk about how complicated Arch is, but learning it was almost completely frictionless. It stays out of the way when I want it to, and I can go down a tinkering rabbit hole whenever I want. I can update stuff three times a day, or forget about updates for several weeks and just run the command whenever it springs to mind. I found it way easier to pick up than Ubuntu too due to the Arch wiki.

To me sleeping in a bra is like trying to sleep with glasses on
