AHHHH!

I cannot read the phrase "them bones" without that song playing in my head haha

I pretty much just use my switch for Nintendo exclusives at this point. For the games I do own on both I tend to prefer the Deck's input options and flexibility in that regard more often than not.

For Skyrim I've had pretty good luck with just adding Vortex mod manager as a non steam game, running it with Proton and using mods that way

I pretty much run a pacman -Syu every time i sit down at my computer for the first time in a day haha. On my laptop it might be a while before I turn it on and run an update, so in those cases I'll check the website to see if any kinda manual intervention is required.

Personally I don't think I'd use it on my main phone as of now. While it does work well and the granular options for sandboxing/security are awesome, I'd worry about compatibility with banking apps and other more locked down software that, from what I've heard, will refuse to run under GrapheneOS. Also, yeah you'd be missing out on some of the exclusive Pixel features that are part of Google's stock ROM. But overall it works well and handles Play Store backend stuff pretty seamlessly while still keeping the security tight.

From what I understand camera quality and other features may be less performant than stock as well, though in the case of my Pixel 5a the camera experience wasn't that great before anyways so it didn't matter to me.

For now on my main phone I'm just gonna keep using stock and dipping into Android betas to mess with the new stuff coming to Pixel phones. Maybe once my desire to be part of that ecosystem is lessened I'd just go for Graphene on my Pixel 7.

Discord cant stream desktop audio at all on Linux aside from sharing a tab's audio if you're using Discord in a web browser. There are custom clients (like discord-screenaudio which OP mentioned) capable of doing this to some extent but they're based on the web version of discord and lack features / can be buggy. Also these options don't have hardware encoding so any fast moving content will become a choppy mess for the viewers.

The other alternative on Linux is to just route the app's audio into your mic source. Others will hear it but it will come out as if its your mic so even those not watching the stream will have to hear the stream audio unless they mute you.

I've had a Pixel 5a and currently have a Pixel 7. Have enjoyed them greatly. The 5a was a bit mediocre overall, camera performance wasn't that great & it got a bit slow over time. That being said, the clean OS experience and integration was always nice and it was perfectly suitable for my needs at a good price.

Now that I'm using my Pixel 7 as a daily, the Pixel 5a is holding up pretty well with GrapheneOS as a backup phone / media player.

Pixel 7 has been really nice to me. Interface is smooth, camera is nice, everything just works essentially. And getting the latest Android pretty quickly is a nice feeling. My only gripe is that Google's SoC is still a bit lacking and battery life isn't the best, but I hear the current Android beta has some promising battery life improvements.

Overall I've been having a good time with them. Still kinda miss my Nexus 5x tho, that thing was sweet...

But the article is talking about unsupported Chromebooks being sold through Amazon and Walmart. Google isn't selling the unsupported Chromebooks on their own web store.

I remember having a lot of fun with Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time a few years ago.

You have up to 4 players (iirc) manage a spaceship which is essentially a platforming area. It gets pretty hectic (in a fun way imo) managing the different equipment on the ship and piloting it around while dealing with obstacles and enemies.

Even when you're not intentionally plagiarizing, Turnitin may catch something that could screw you over when the assignment is submitted. Sometimes you have a chance to see what Turnitin analyzes and resubmit the assignment but OP is saying they can only submit it once so they want to use the Grammarly checker first.

Yes, SteamOS does count as Linux. Android does not. The Android and iOS Steam app is just for social features / store, not for playing games so neither show up on the survey.

SteamOS Holo, which is what the Steam Deck uses, makes up 42% of the Linux systems in the survey results.

Droidcam is a pretty decent option too for using Android phones as a webcam, that's what I've used on Linux to accomplish similar things. Just run the droidcam server on the Steam Deck and either connect to it from the phone via local IP address or over USB.
