    Asus reveals the ROG Ally X, with better battery life and more "repair-friendly" design

    I've bought several Asus products over the years, and I haven't had any of them except a measly bluetooth dongle die on me, but that's not to take away from their recent issues of having crap RMAs and making shoddy products. Steam on the other hand has pretty good RMA support, AND they...

    Asus reveals the ROG Ally X, with better battery life and more "repair-friendly" design

    a lot of people like to swap their analog sticks with taller sticks for some reason. if the entire module switches out, I could see this being good for switching to hall-effect sticks. I like the cross-pattern face buttons, but I agree that it would be nice to swap them out with something...

    Asus reveals the ROG Ally X, with better battery life and more "repair-friendly" design

    That's totally fair. I just assumed that AMD powered machines didn't typically have them because of the licensing costs, because Apple Silicon can use thunderbolt no problem. I'm well aware it's an Intel standard, but again, because Apple Silicon uses thunderbolt, I just assumed it was more of...

    Either that, or USB 4/Thunderbolt support for eGPU enclosures. I doubt they'd go thunderbolt though because of the cost of getting thunderbolt certified.

    Asus reveals the ROG Ally X, with better battery life and more "repair-friendly" design

    The OS itself is largely irrelevant because you can install Windows on a Steam Deck and HoloISO on an Ally. The biggest selling point on the Ally is the eGPU support. other than that, I would have to pick the Steam Deck every time. The lower resolution is actually a big plus in my opinion...

    Office 2010 Starter Edition (Word + Excel) is still available for download

    That's totally fair. I've ran into Issues with LibreOffice before as well, but for my own uses, and for MOST cases, LibreOffice works well enough. It's only when I start adding a bunch of stuff (like audio to a powerpoint) is when it starts getting muddy. FWIW, I use 365 as well for most...

    Office 2010 Starter Edition (Word + Excel) is still available for download

    I know it doesn't matter much here but installing office starter 2010 on any machine outside of an OEM effectively breaks ToS, so it's not any more legitimate than downloading a pirated copy of Office.

    Office 2010 Starter Edition (Word + Excel) is still available for download

    LibreOffice was forked from OpenOffice, and from what I gather, you can completely disable the use of Java. Apparently LibreOffice also gets a lot more development done compared to OpenOffice

    Office 2010 Starter Edition (Word + Excel) is still available for download

    Why not just use LibreOffice? It's FOSS, and is compatible (for the most part) with MS Office XML formats (docx, pptx, etc.) There are some weird compatibility issues here and there, but from my experience, very little. it's also a bit different UI wise, but if you're just trying to type...

    Question about argb hubs

    Razer makes one that works with software, but that means you have to use a Razer product lol. (also it doesn't have any fan headers, just ARGB headers) edit: Link here: https://www.amzn.com/B08K3TYWP6/

    Question about argb hubs

    That specific hub you linked still requires an ARGB header to be able to work. if your board has one of the 3-pin ARGB headers, then you can use it, but otherwise, you can't. You can still likely use the fan headers though. I just don't recommend running the CPU fan on that header (unless...

    Post Your Linux Desktop Thread

    Bookworm is Debian 12, so my guess is LMDE; SID is Unstable; maybe LMDE uses both stable and unstable packages? Too "windows" for my taste, but neat nonetheless, I love kwin's gaussian blur. I too use an Nvidia GPU and don't have too many problems with it.

    Gaming Extremely unpopular opinion: too many people hate consoles (specifically the switch) for not being as powerful of a gaming pc

    Sorry for the necrobump, but I agree (for the most part) that people miss the point of consoles and will ALWAYS complain that one isn't as good as a PC. even in the PC groups, people want to shit on people for using old hardware, even though it's cheaper and perfectly viable. I do disagree...

    The great debate: Switch VS Steam Deck

    I like the Steam Deck better, but I also have a much larger Steam collection than I do switch games, and primarily play on PC. The Steam Deck is also MUCH more versatile than the Switch, and it lets you do whatever you want to it without threatening a ban to your hardware/account, so it's got...

    This was a sway config I used awhile back on an old Macbook. I don't have any screenshots of my i3 config surprisingly. I switched back to gnome though. I don't mind window managers, but I find myself going back to Gnome all the time. Now it looks like so:
