the Shimano Alfine 8 has 3 gears below the direct drive (I think what that is called? the one similar to a single speed no gears system) which is pretty ok for most hills

interestingly enough the gear translation on the higher gears is quite steep
while I cruise roughly 18 km/h on the direct drive gear, the next higher one already is more like 22-23 km/h

the more expensive Shimano Alfine 11 has 4 gears below the direct drive gear and the higher ones are still steep increases but slightly less
No idea about cheaper internal gears hubs or other brands though

My current bike has no motor and uses a Gates CDX belt drive with a Shimano 8-gears internal gear hub
I believe thats enough, more gears are not needed

my older chain bike had a motor and I could just let the motor do the work if my chain got too rusty/dirty which resulted in higher wear (loose chain)

I have one on my daily commute bike to work

cleaning the chain of my old bike while commuting in rain and winter is a huge hassle and totally worth the higher price of belt drives

If your AMD card is older than your latest linux distro release it’s plug and play, no driver installation required
Wayland works pretty well on most desktop environments too

beware fresh released AMD cards in combination with long term release distros like Debian stable, you most likely will need the driver from the AMD website (not recommended)

the OLED version has a more efficient CPU and fan resulting in a quieter fan noise
if you only play with headphones or only play lesser graphical games like Slay the Spire or Brotato you probably barely would notice the difference though

Charging control (80% charge/scheduled full charge if wanted) is available on my Pixel with CalyxOS
is it not available on the Fairphones?

It would be amazing if the runtime (per run) would be lowered
playing through three acts in one sitting is quite long, a runtime like Monster Train (40~90 minutes on non-speedrun time) would be pretty good

because swap does other things than “extending” your physical ram

the way SteamOS works is extremely different to how a regular Arch Linux runs so I wouldn’t really conclude anything from that
it just shows how little the underlying distro matters

it is kinda wild that people abandon Windows 7 because of Steam and not because Microsoft stopped patching it several years ago

Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

I don’t think Steam actually recommends any distro since some time anymore

the most honest reason I read about is probably that former Twitter user who felt out of place on Mastodon or other Activitypub servers because the “Nerds” who care about privacy and decentral systems which were already on it have a different microblogging culture and they didn’t want adept

so now a new competitor gets traction because the people who felt out of place on Mastodon can relife the Twitter experience from over a decade ago
the fake exclusivity even make you feel special despite the lack of features
