Installing Steam is easy-peasy and well worth it. The only issues I have had so far with Proton is that the convoluted file structure makes it hard to remember where to put manually installed gamed mods for BeamNG.

2·2 months agoDwarf Fortress runs fine in Linux. Are you telling me there are other video games?!?
That could be a longer wait because Gnome (hopefully) wont be standing still during that time.
A penguin once bit my sister. its true!
I knew quite a few linux fans who went with Apple laptops when OSX came out. At the time it was the best thing available that had unix under the hood which made it really powerful in the right hands.
that is not a thin-client in the traditional sense, just a small form factor (1liter) pc. Thin clients were minimal spec machines that were made to connect to a much more powerful server somewhere on the network that did all the work. The thin client handled the display and I/O.
Mini PCs are generally a far better deal than a Pi and much more powerful for any kind general computing use.
ebay seems to just be a place for scammers and people selling used items for new prices.
No need to be rude.
It seems to me that Mactan was hoping for some independent recent benchmarks.
Only thing I can find is this OS News article saying it should be in the 6.10 kernel
I can not find any confirmation that it is.
Seems like you will get a biased sample here…
What exactly do you like about X11?
That it works just fine for my purposes. When it does not I will switch to Wayland but I have no reason to at the moment.

I suggest trying Cinnamon and see how it feels. Unless your old notebook has less than 2GB RAM then you will probably be aok. I have run it on some pretty weak machines before and never found XFCE to be noticeably snappier.
87€ does not include case, power supply, or microSD. Realistically close to 120€ to get a working system and for that kind of money yes you can get a newish Celeron powered PC with 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD/NVME.
I am doing conversion from Canadian Dollar so my calculations and what is actually available in Europe might be off a bit. It is totally possible here though.
Slackware(1995?), Yggdrasil, Redhat/Fedora/Mandrake, SuSE, Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
Probably some others I have forgotten, and there was a lot of back and forth at various times but I settled on Debian based because at the time APT was the best package manager. I mostly use Mint or straight Debian now because familiarity makes it the simplest for me after all these years.
not Linux but also Solaris, SunOS, & AIX
I am sure you can, but you will likely get better performance from a mini PC for roughly the same price.
Seriously. I think I installed my first Linux Firmware almost 20yrs ago on a WRT54G.
peanut butter cookie = essential
Maybe try explaining what you meant instead of complaining that everyone is misunderstanding you. I dont see any context clues in there to indicate you mean anything other than the standard accepted meaning of “soyboy”
