Hall effect joysticks, not bad.
Something equivalent to a Ryzen AI MAX would be nice. But I suspect it's too much power to handle in a portable format. And too much money for the average pocket.
The AI MAX do not have a bandwidth bottleneck and have fewer CPU cores, too.
The port of the #Zotac launcher is written in #Rust and they get rid of #Pacman to use only #Flatpak.
Well, it's not something I like. Robustness can be achieved with the "traditional" means. GNU Guix is an example. It doesn't require to bloat the system. Thankfully, changing to a system like that is as easy as what they've done.

Well, #Snap may be better on the #Server side but considering the "standard by consensus" on #FLOSS they should admit defeat and go with #FlatPak.
Espechally since #Canonical doesn't seem to yet provide the benefit of a #centralized #repo in the form of #QualityControl and #Verification of #Developers...

This is a fantastic development! We should also thank forward-looking distros like @elementary and its AppCenter for Everyone initiative for paving the way.
Now, will #Canonical follow this move with Snap? Because I'd much rather support an ecosystem that in turn has the mechanisms in place to support the developers.

Did some research on #SteamDeck. Seems like #SteamDeck supports #Flatpak. In fact, it would be the preferred application install method.
So I can install #Discord with Flatpak on a SteamDeck and chat over it.
The bad news is Discord client with Flatpak doesn't support game overlay.
