I cooked food for 20 years. Now I build computers and dive down Linux 🐇 🕳️s on a personal learning journey.
Fibromyalgia sucks! Existence is pain and resistance is futile. Thanks for noticing me.

For context my 16x2/32GB kit.
I got for $115 March 2025.
I also got a second kit that same time, from Amazon, to make it a full 64GB system. Since Microcenter is 1 per customer. 🥹
$499.99 now lol.
If I knew then…I would have splurged for a 128GB system :(
I remember loathing the GameCube/Wii games >.<
War of the Monsters got more playtime on my PS2.
But we have Timesplitters Rewind at home!
I’ll keep trying…
Was back in stock for 20 seconds so I got it added to my cart…
I use Futo Voice Input for voice input myself.
But yes, Helioboard is amaze.
I used the whatever third party blob for Helioboard’s swipe input is from… Forgot where I got the instructions for that…but it was easy peasy.
There’s just basically different RPM OSTree package choice’s fattened into their images.
So no worrying about packages being layered, causing slower update process/rollback/version-upgrade issues.
And I think things like in-image lutris/steam has less performance loss/integration issues (like Steam VR usage vs flatpak).
Aww the repo/packaging purists clutching their pearls.
Consider a Universal Blue image instead.
Chromebook easy Fedora out of the box experience. Batteries, Bells and Whistles included.
Easy peasy rollbacks and upgrades.
No more needing to manually add RPM Fusion just to get working hardware acceleration for Media in Firefox or to install Steam. Or extra steps for Nvidia drivers.
I started on Fedora KDE 32 eventually migrated to Fedora Kinoite 38 and have been a happy Bazzite enjoyer ever since. 🎮🐧🥹
Baked in #Distrobox, #Homebrew and #Bazzar Make installing and exporting .rpm or .deb files painless. Integrated Homebrew and Flatpak installers for installing apps.
And super useful and convenient #ujust commands you won’t find on Fedora.
Can even Fork/Make your own Image, or checkout some Community images.
George made a Project Bluefin LTS image. Or you can also be more bleeding edge with testing branches.
Developer Experience images are also available.
I like to use Buttons remapper and set my button to FLauncher on my shield. 🥹
Bazzite ships it out of the box:
Update from The Guardian:
Like Velvet Sundown with 3 albums in 1 month lol.
p.s. Not sure If you saw my link for Linux-Tidal app:
I quit Tidal because even they have BS Ai Albums/Bands/“Singers”.
Fuck SUNO.
Granted Tidal doesn’t randomly start adding/playing them, you’d have to play them, but adding them to recent/growing playlists is BS too IMHO.
Anyway checkout TIDAL Hi-Fi For Tidal + HiFi on Linux.
I’m back to just using Shortwave to record radio station tracks to grow my own local self hosted music cloud now.
Not giving my $$$$ towards enabling Ai slop.
Release the device trees you cowards. 😡🤬
Exasperated Sigh
SteamOS™ is only for handhelds.
Currently, the only devices officially 'Powered by SteamOS' are Steam Deck and Legion Go S.
Consider Bazzite instead.
Heroic Games Launcher is available on Flathub.
Microcenter has spiffy AMD deals. And 9070xt on sale for $599.
Isn’t ASUS still melting X3D boards/chips tho? 🤔
They should offer a B.Y.O.
DDR5 SODIMM/NVME 4 2230/2280barebones system. 🥹 😭
