I had the same problem, having never used a console. I've always been using PCs (starting with small 8 bit machines, to a 286, and later to the beasts we currently use (running Linux though). It took me a good while to get used to the Steam deck.

I had no choice because I have no other gaming rig at the moment while my home is being completely rebuilt, so my PC has been turned off for two years now :(.

I've gotten better at it, and I'm getting through Fallout on the deck, but I have to avoid some games. For while some games do indeed work better with a controller, others (FPS) are way better with keyboard and mouse.

So all in all, I'm glad that the Deck has opened new possibilities. But the game controller isn't the ultimate gadget, just another option.

Just use hot air. Lots of that to go around.

Fools! You have to expire the whole system!

Reinstall everything every 90 days. It's the only way.

It's kind of a honorary cold hurricane.

So it should be considered differently from all the other attacks on civilians that they've been doing all the time?

Judging by the url, they're noodles designed to boost your ham. Which is probably worth it to someone. I suppose.

From reading online, it seems to be a feature of some segments of the US market.

I'm currently using my first Samsung device in a while (handed down by someone who didn't like it) and it's just like any other phone.

I'm not in the US though.

What I could hold against them is how some of their devices have extra features enabled within the brand's ecosystem. I understand it's a basic way to keep users with the brand without being too harsh (everything still works with another appliance after all), but it's still a bit crummy.

Maybe someone ought to rewrite rust in C.

That's how we'll eventually run out of numbers. And then what? Sell some imaginary ones?

It depends a lot on your location on the planet.

I suppose it's so you can take them home and cook them the way you like them.

It can often make a semi decent summary of a long text that helps you decide if it's worth reading or not. I've found it relatively useful for that.

Plasma 6 changed the way scrollbars work for some reason. Now when you click somewhere with mouse1 the elevator jums there and the window content scrolls accordingly.

Previously, it would scroll by one window's worth in the appropriate direction. If you wanted to jump to a given location, you just used mouse2 (typically the scroll wheel button nowadays). It has worked that way everywhere for literally decades.

After reading the very weird explanation for the change, I can only conclude that the devs don't even know how to use their interface.

Hence my question, is there a setting somewhere to switch back to the traditional behaviour?
