It’s optimized for gaming and you can install a lot of standard Linux apps. But it only works on specific hardware like the Deck and Legion at the moment, the Frame and Machine should be running their versions. A lot of things that come in a standard Distro for PCs have been removed that you might take for granted. I like to think of it as a balance between PC and game console, remember when you could side load Linux onto a PS3, sort of like that.

I use my Deck in desktop mode and connect it to my TV for web browsing, Steamlink to my tower and occasionally use the Libre apps, but I wouldn’t recommend using it as your daily PC. It doesn’t exactly feel like a fully fleshed out PC, hard to put a finger on it until you use it.

Proof Miles went back in time. Star Trek is real!

Thanks everyone I got it to stop going to sleep when the TV is turned off by changing the main display back to the laptop screen and just mirroring the laptop to the TV.

But it shouldn’t be ham fisted like DISCO, it should be smart, changing minds is done in inches not miles. Yay for emotionally immature and insecure senior staff!

Some of the best Star Trek is when you didn’t know that it was making a political statement and it was thoughtful and thought provoking.
