Do we really want more of their cash grabs on Steam? Their old stuff was great, but now the ship has sailed and their newest stuff just isn't that good anymore. Especially after the latest Diablo 4 patch.

But why does it work like that? You could just as easily make the phone silently pick up and silently hang up.
Not only that, but I don't think the Russians really understand western thinking at this point. Even if they get everyone to believe these allegations, so what? It doesn't change that Russia started the war, or the killing they've been doing in captured territory.
"The Ukranians said bad things about Russians". Of course they did, the Russians are literally trying to kill them.
I don't see how it affects the Steam Deck. It's entirely possible that the Steam Deck supports fTPM purely because it was part of the motherboard template Valve chose and it would have been more trouble to change it than to just leave it in.
Linux still has too many issues, for example...
- Fedora doesn't provide binary drivers even if they exist, you need to get a pluggable wifi usb tool that is supported and install the repositories and configure binary drivers to get wifi working on a huge amount of laptops.
- Ubuntu does provide binary drivers but the configuration tool can just crash by itself a lot of the time and just fail to load the driver.
- Ubuntu's desktop sometimes just crashes.
- Fedora uses some strange memory compression driver to handle its paging file and this can sometimes just crash the OS entirely by itself.
These are major issues that shouldn't be issues, they should either have been fixed as a priority for the crashes or have some kind of workaround that doesn't require owning specific USBs that regular people just won't have. There's no reason for the memory compression thing either, it probably doesn't do that much for performance overall but random hard-locks are a huge negative. Linux is its own worst enemy on the desktop.
TPM is basically never for your benefit. It's becoming a requirement because Microsoft is going to one day say "you can only run apps installed from the Windows Store, because everything else is insecure" and lock down the software market. Valve knows this which is why they're going so hard on the Steam Deck and Linux.
I've used Macs for a while, but I'd take Frameworks over Macs now. The fun at the start of having a mac is not worth all the hassles that come down the line when things start failing and can't be fixed.
