This is a joke right? (Xbox ROG Ally)

I am more thinking of the Valorant, League, Call of Duty, Fortnite, etc... players. Which are a majority of pc gamers.

- Uses programs which don't have Linux equivalent
The Linux community has to understand that some of these groups cannot be moved to Linux no matter how much you improve the Linux experience.

That's a typo, it's supposed to be an R in the middle there, not an F

Shouldn't it be "Freedom From” ?

penny arcade? Wow, are they even still around? I havent seen anyone talk about or reference them for..god.. 10 years?

Can't you map Alt-Tab to one of the back buttons? Or does that not work in desktop mode?
EDIT: Or if that doesn't work through steam then is there gamepad software in KDE or the Software Centre that lets the desktop map gamepad buttons?
I've had mixed results doing this. Not really sure why

Penny Arcade Expo is one of the biggest gaming conventions in America (and Aus) so I'd say yeah. I think they still make the comic too.

I mean, the Zune is fucking amazing.
FM radio when you wanted it, big color screen that you could watch actual videos on at a solid playback that you could do video out to a TV with. WiFi song sharing. Great playback and no fingerprints in my semitransparent case that glows.
Zune was amazing.

Oh dear god it is apparently serious.

Any guesses for MSRP?
$1200 for the X variant?
$600?
Will MSFT bet the farm, take the upfront loss on the unit, and try to convince everyone this is both their next handheld and their next mainline living room console at the same time?
I'm so hoping Microsoft eats some of the cost of this and makes it a reasonable price. Think of the awesomeness of $600-700 handheld console that can be much more easily modded than the switch 2.

I would love for that to be the case as well... but it wouldn't make any sense for MSFT to do the first part, and I strongly suspect they do not have the finances to do the second part.

They used to lower the price of Xboxes/?Xbeexes? lower than actual profit margins because they could get more in game sales.
I think the finances are no longer there though to do that but I think it would inspire people to get the game pass more if they did.

It's still around, but it hasn't been funny for a long-ass time.

"Freedom of Windows" "Power of Xbox" Good stuff. We should make some more.
"From a brand you can trust"
"Pro gamers choose ... "
"Powered by Copilot and Game pass""Relive past game moments with recall" "Totally not going to be dropped in 3 years"

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I am talking for handhelds which are treated as consoles so the underlying os or gui makes no difference. Unless it stops you from playing the game you like.
No one should tell you to leave an os if it works for you.

Less good
I'd argue it's outright bad, especially with MS headquartered in a country that already has the NSA recording everything, and now a fascist dictator in control of all of that recorded traffic.
