KI think the argument is we don't have to ignore them
KThe world has ignored them for 30 years
Pbut also
Kwe're here to do something different
Pi don't see why it's anything to do with us
Por why we shouldn't ignore them when we uhh
Palready made our mind up if we're here
KSome of it is intertia. I will wholly admit that I took a while to even TRY an immutable because I have decades of traditional Linux desktop history and "it works just fine! Why change it!" - then again, I was still compiling monolithic kernels for quite a while after the Linux kernel first got module capability, so maybe I just get stuck in my ways
Nbulbasauros
Jyeah but also, we need to recognize that we're 4% of a market.
Kand 3% of that is Steam Deck
K
Jthe other 96% have no idea what linux is supposed to be like
Kand it's immutable!
Pi like how we can just slightly increase the number and hope nobody notices
Nanyway i think steamos3 can technically be considered to be a starter os
K
Gwell we have to realize that steam deck has sold millions of units lol
KLol indeed it is.
Pnext time itll be 5%
P"5%"
Gis it? I dont remember SteamOS based on arch being immutable
KSteam Deck, most successful Linux PC of all time.
Gi could be mistaken
Nanything preinstalled as the default option on consumer hardware
KIt very much is
Nit is
Kit's 100% immutable
Kmore so than us, you can't install packages
Klost every update
Nit also includes distrobox i think
Gdang
VIt's image based with root locked by default.
Psteamos is a bitch
Asometimes the performance overlay reports inaccurate power consumption, it could be that you're seeing that
VAs of a few months ago yup
Kyou're also setting the TDP of one aspect, and MangoHud shows global draw
VI think it also has a folder required for nix, but nix isn't included.
K15W on the deck is ~25W in MangoHud
KI was unaware Valve had added Distrobox to Steam Deck
Kbecause of all the hardware other than the APU that draws power
Kthat's kinda neat. I presume it survives updates?
Kyeah, they did it a few months after we launched
VI'd hope so
Kit's part of the image
VDistrobox stuff is stored in home iirc
Kah yes ofc
VWell, not sure about rootful ones.
GI was gonna say are they looking at the apu's power consumption?
and of course correct me if im wrong but wasnt there a known issue where the TDP could be falsely reported in the HUD?

MIs valve doing anything with distrobox or did they just add it
