Likely due to being a prototype. Production laptops from Tuxedo tend to have the “TUX” penguin in a circle logo on the Super key by default. They also have been offering custom engraved keyboard (even with the entire keyboard engraved from scratch to the customer’s specifications) as added service, so probably there will be suppliers or production facility to change the Super key.
By the way, there was one YouTube channel that ended up ordering a laptop with Windings engraving from them: https://youtu.be/nidnvlt6lzw?t=186
If you want RTX though (does it work properly on Linux?)
Yes it does. For example, Hans-Kristian Arntzen declared the DirectX Raytracing (DXR) implementation in VKD3D-proton as feature complete in February 2023 (https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/154#issuecomment-1434761594). And since November 2023/release 2.11, VKD3D-proton in fact runs with DXR enabled by default (https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/releases/tag/v2.11).
Unless Valve can either find or pay a company that does a custom packaging of a Nvidia GPU with x86 (like the Intel Kaby Lake-G SoC with an in-package Radeon), very unlikely. The handheld size makes an “out of package” discrete GPU very difficult.
And making Nvidia themselves warm up to x86 is just unrealistic at this point. Even if e.g. Nintendo demanded, the entire gaming market — see AMD’s anemic recent 2024Q1 result from gaming vs. data center and AI — is unlikely to be compelling enough for Nvidia to be interested in x86 development, vs. continuing with their ARM-based Grace “superchip.”
Probably from the FAQ pane on the Kickstarter page:
What about Steamdeck support?
Will be 100% supported

In the beginning, only privileged ones will be allowed to run in pass-through mode. But goal/roadmap calls for all FUSE filesystems eventually to have this near-native performance.
Well, if you have a constructive suggestion which site to link instead regarding kernel developments, I am all ears:
Not sure what called for this blatant personal attack. My post history speaks for itself, quite in comparison to yours. And Phoronix is well-known Linux website, and its test suite is in fact even referenced in various regression tests/patches in LKML (also not sure what/if any kind of kernel development you have done).
Inertia, note that NEMA was developed in the early 1910s by Harvey Hubbell, who was a businessman — hence the socket is optimized to be cheap. Type F by Albert Büttner was developed more than a decade later in the mid 1920s.

Actually Type F is not that great as a plug either. It is also one of the older, overly bulky design, and predates polarity. And the shape allows you to cheat by inserting into an unearthed receptacle (e.g. CEE 7/1), and the lack of polarity makes the ground pads a shock hazard. Even with an earthed CEE 7/3 receptacle, the live pins are in contact first, while the ground pads still are touchable. There is also the additional annoyance that even within Europe/CEE 7 there is the competing and polarized Type E, necessitating that virtually all modern appliances come with an overly complex CEE 7/7.
The Swiss have developed Type J or SN 441011, which is a modern design far superior to Type F. The internationally standardized, but shape-incompatible version is Type N or IEC 60906-1, which is adopted in Brazil and South Africa.
Retention, or the lack thereof, when cold-stored.
In term of SD or standard NAND, not even Nintendo does that. Nintendo builds Macronix XtraROM in their Game Card, which is some proprietary Flash memory with claimed 20 year cold storage retention. And they introduced the 64 GB version only after a lengthy delay, in 2020. So it seems that the (lack of) cold storage performance of standard NAND Flash is viewed by some in the industry as not ready for prime time. Macronix discussed it many years back in a DigiTimes article: https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120713PR201.html.
And Sony and Microsoft are both still building Blu-ray-based consoles.
Yes. If you mean “CLI” as for e.g. pacman install, it is a GUI (Electron) application, so I expect will install straight from e.g. KDE Discover and then run without you touching the shell.
Installing podman-compose with the immutable filesystem is fairly straight forward, since it is just a single Python file (https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/blob/devel/podman_compose.py), which you can basically install anywhere in your path. You can also first bootstrap pip (python3 get-pip.py --user
with get-pip.py
from https://github.com/pypa/get-pip) and then do pip3 install --user podman-compose
.
There might be several misunderstandings:
So what you want is already available, and no Docker Desktop is actually needed.
The was a GNOME FAQ that describes “guh-NOME” or IPA /ɡˈnəʊm/ as the official pronunciation, due to the emphasis of G as GNU. It does acknowledge that many pronounce it “NOME” or /nəʊm/: https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/astaff/project/aui/html/pronunciation.html
First of all, the source is CNBC, so it is not a “weir vendetta […] solely on the .ml instances.” This and e.g. their prior article (https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/26/organized-retail-crime-and-theft-not-increasing-much-nrf-study-finds.html) are well in-line with economics reporting as their core business. And then, it is Target and CEO Brian Cornell and NRF — where Cornell is also a board member — pushing this narrative (e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/26/business/target-store-closures-theft.html), that lead to news outlet to their investigative reporting. There are further legitimate concerns by press regarding NRF’s legislative lobby effort based on non-existent evidence: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/26/retailers-lobby-congress-to-pass-combating-organized-retail-crime-act.html
Undervolting provides the chip with additional power and thermal headroom, and can improved situations where otherwise throttling sets in.
Yes. But one should also note that only a limited range of Intel GPU support SR-IOV.
From https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/10/tony-hawks-pro-skater-1-2-adds-offline-support-for-steam-deck/ :
You may be able to get it to work on desktop Linux too in offline mode by using
SteamDeck=1 %command%
as a Steam launch option for the game, which likely won’t work for Windows since the Steam Deck is just a Linux machine.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 runs decently on the Steam Deck, and has semi-(?)/de-facto-(?) official support (the developer purposefully switched to a Linux/Wine-compatible EAC earlier this year, and referenced the Steam Deck support in the corresponding patch note).
This summary (and sadly, also the GoL title) has somewhat buried the lede here: The firmware update that comes with 3.5.1 Preview adds undervolting controls — with the obvious implications of improving the battery life.
Just for reference, a few years back, (ex-Microsoft) David Plummer had this historical dive into the (MIPS) origin of the blue color, and how Windows is not blue anymore: https://youtu.be/KgqJJECQQH0?t=780
