I kind of like the auto updating feed/comments section, although it does do it quite fast.

You could argue that knowing (almost) anything with a name to it isnt really knowing "how" to play, its literally a memorization of the best moves to a certain point in the game. When you move outside of those named movesets is when you really need to know how to play the game.
Knowing how to play is as basic as simply knowing how the pieces move, and then moving into things like undefended pieces, discovered checks, double checks, forking, threats, sacrifices, and then even higher level stuff like "gaining a tempo", endgame combo's, and yes even the rarely executed windmill haha.
Which is to say... dont get too caught up in the names of stuff if you are just playing for fun, just focus on the mechanics and tactics
Except according to him his website isnt even making any.... after like 20 years online.
Its a major use, but only for a niche number of people. I think theres Very, very, very few people that would get this that dont already have a main computer and/or a laptop, so the usage of this as a portable computer, while very cool and interesting, is not going to be what millions of people are doing
Yeah I think the market for "I will also use this as a laptop" is so small that the vast majority of people wont factor that in, and for the 19 people that will genuinely use this as a traveling computer it will be great for them. But by and large I think 90% of people that wanted a "switch but for my PC games" already jumped on the steamdeck backwagon and there just arent that many more sales to pick up from that market segment
This is kind of its biggest strength and its biggest weakness. I'm just now learning the ropes, but I'm probably in the upper 10% of the population for tech literacy and even I was scratching my head about "instances" vs "communities" ... And there is lemmy.world and lemmy.one and lemmy.ml and lemmy.inifity and it looked like I needed a separate account on all of them initially but now maybe it looks like I dont? And do they share communities or is there a tech "sublemmy" on all of them and I should subscribe to all of them?? I think I've figured out how to subscribe to multiple instances communities on a single account... But this is asking ALOT more than 90% of the population is going to do.
Kind of like if there was reddit1.com, reddit2.com, reddit3.com, etc... And they all had similar communities but not really and you needed an account on all of them, etc...
Im still not 100% sure, but as a "go to the website and browse" type experience reddit is still the reigning champ, and I dont see anything lemmy can do to "fix" the issue of fractured communities and website because it doesnt consider that a bug but a feature.
