    Steam Deck Developer Kit Impressions
    [07:03] schestowitz
    [07:03] schestowitz

    We had a chance to have a quick Q&A with a developer, who asked to remain anonymous, with hands-on access to the developer kit of the Steam Deck. Because of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), they couldnt comment on every question that we hadinstead, they could only talk about the hardware, and the overall experience to some degree. That being said, heres some valuable info that you might find interesting [07:03] schestowitz concerning the Steam Deck, which is scheduled to start shipping next month!

    Manjaro 21.2 Qonos Plasma - Very nice, high five
    [07:07] schestowitz
    [07:07] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/manjaro-21-2-qonos-plasma.html">Manjaro ) [07:07] schestowitz

    Manjaro 21.2 Qonos Plasma is a pretty darn good distro. Let's start with the negatives. A few small bugs here and there, the system menu needs to be resizable, the package management is under-developed, and the battery life is only solid+, but not more than that. Everything else? Well, quite nicely done.

    [07:07] schestowitz

    I have to say that Qonos Plasma is one of the more cohesive distros I've tried in a while, and the level of consistency with the Gnome edition is quite admirable. The system delivers beauty, speed, a good arsenal of programs, decent defaults, even more decent configurability thanks to the Plasma desktop, elegance, and stability. If not for the rolling nature of this distro, I might even consider doing some risky production- [07:07] schestowitz level experimentation. We ain't there yet. But. But. Manjaro is constantly improving, and so, who knows what might happen a year or two from now. All in all, quite recommended and more than worth your time and testing.

    [07:07] schestowitz

    Cheers.
