If you can get any kind of multiscan monitor you're usually set for computers of that era. Connectors can be handled by passive adaptors if needed, but it is actually the refresh rate that is not always supported by the common VGA CRT (specifically the 15 kHz horizontal refresh rate).

Multiscan monitors had various names depending on the manufacturer. MultiSync, DiamondTron, SyncMaster, etc... so if you can get any CRT with 15 kHz support, you're set.

I started using Fedora / GNOME as my daily driver on my laptop for a few months and can see where this change may be coming from. I really like how clean GNOME is and it works really well with smaller single screens (laptop) and multi-touch input /w gestures... but the reason I haven't switched my desktop over is because I can't see how that same design philosophy translates to a desktop environment with just a mouse and keyboard.

Trying to figure out how to manage background applications like chat programs, soft-phones, and even email seems to be an uphill battle with GNOME.

Or the whole Internet! Cough FA

Yep! Welcome to the unfiltered real internet.... (and I'm saying that as a positive thing).

While Crystal Dynamics didn’t specify which content it’s referring to, it’s speculated that it could be the animalistic depiction of Pacific Island natives in Tomb Raider 3, who are implied to be cannibals.

Like the fictional Indiana Jones style villages? Or the real life North Sentinel Island Sentinelese? I'm scratching my head too...

That may have been the intention but I can't find any which have panned out. Mozilla is straddling that weird line of operating both a non-profit and for-profit entity... and as a for-profit incubator for the next big thing, they have a pretty terrible track record.

Honestly I'm actually a little happy about this. I feel Mozilla needs to focus on its core job of advancing its browser and web standards so we don't get stuck with Chromium-only world (like when us old timers had to deal with Internet Explorer holding the majority market share).

These side projects like running VPN services and social networks may have the best intentions but have had to pull from their limited resources. I would prefer they get spun off as separate projects instead of pulling resources from the parent company.

Please don't use that guide. That's the old 2.x line of SteamOS which hasn't been updated since 2019 and is based on a very old version of Debian. The SteamOS that the deck uses is 3.x and has also moved from Debian to Arch. Valve really needs to update that page.

If you want to build your own SteamOS machine, take a look at something like HoloISO (https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso) which is built on the current branch of SteamOS with the deck-exclusive OS/hardware items swapped out for standard kit.

I can't wait to have TherionArms at my party!

Anybody know the name of this character? "Six Shooter Cat" or something?
