Carl Richell (System76 CEO) mentioned at the Ubuntu Summit that they're expecting a Beta in January or February.
Wars are won by killing the enemy and breaking their stuff. By capturing and controlling land, means of production, supply and transport lines, and so on, you impose your will on your enemy and remove the capability for them to do the same to you.
Drones will be used to destroy enemy assets, take out ground troops, and maintain control of of the above mentioned resources. You'll never just have one drone army meet another on an open field, that's not even how human soldiers fight anymore.
Given the ridiculously low prices of all Steam Deck models, I imagine that the main revenue for Valve is mainly from increased game sales rather than profit from their hardware. If that's the case, it makes sense to see Steam OS on as many devices as possible, even if they compete directly with the Steam Deck.
That being said, I'm just excited by any decision that puts Linux in front of more users.
In the near to mid future, I think an answer to this question are Internal Combustion Engines. I love electric vehicles and look forward to the tech improving. But the sheer coolness factor of moving a large machine through perfectly timed and calibrated explosions is tough to beat.
I'd recommend everyone to buy a Kobo over these, its much easier to read your own .pdf and .epub files than on a Kindle.
So far, I'm really impressed with how COSMIC is turning out. Depending on your use case, it might not be ready for daily driving, but it works perfectly for my needs. Its especially impressive as an Alpha, because it freezes up a lot less on me compared to KDE.
Had a cheesy horror movie night with friends, watched Drag Me to Hell. The best bad special effects you'll ever see.
This is a far faster turnaround than I was expecting. Hopefully a Beta isn't too far behind!
TVP has been a godsend as a ground beef replacer, and it is extremely cheap too. I only with I had discovered it earlier.
The new COSMIC desktop by System76 and Pop!_OS is very promising. I've been running the pre-alpha, and have been very impressed.
I know, I just bought a Nebula case from them. I would gladly give some money for one of those shirts.
I ran into the same issue you did. No verification email, and my login credentials won't work on the app or on the website.
