That’s a weird cotton plant.

It’s a huge example of the bystander effect. It would only take a handful of people to change the situation.

Not just that, but getting turned on when you’re not with your SO absolutely doesn’t mean someone else is causing it.

My point is that the majority of steam deck owners are likely only vaguely aware of the existence of desktop mode, if they even know about it.

But, it’s really easy to assume that the communities that discuss Linux and the steam deck have the same knowledge that the general population does, but the truth is the majority of people just bought a gaming handheld to play games and will likely never leave big picture mode

Just because the deck has a full fledged Linux OS doesn’t mean that it is going to speed up Linux adoption. And Desktop mode isn’t exactly the best transition OS for laypeople.

Right, but it still doesn’t make it great execution.

No, the execution was not great.

Some of the sides of the squares are lined, while some aren’t, and those that are lined are pretty shaky. Color saturation seems decent, but it’s hard to tell with the image quality being low.

Exactly. People on Lemmy think Lemmy users are representative of the general population when in fact even knowing about Lemmy means you have more technical knowledge than the average person.

I’d be willing to bet the majority of Deck owners don’t even know Desktop Mode exists.

It ships with Linux, but the majority of users aren’t going to be using anything other than steam in big picture mode.

Bro, you’re on a forum where most people have technical knowledge beyond that of a standard user.

The Lemmy population is by no means representative of the general population.

Yeah, I was going to mention that, but I’m not super knowledgeable about MS-13.

Exactly. The population would basically need to double to be able to bring manufacturing back here.

Sometimes it’s really hard to figure out if I’m actually suffering from persistent depressive disorder, or if I’m just smart enough to know how fucked everything is.

That’s kinda like saying Android is helping the mass adoption of Linux.

Good ol rose colored glasses.

That’s not how anecdotal evidence works. Just because you aren’t aware of it being different for others doesn’t mean it wasn’t different for others.

Hey look, blatant genocide.
