I don’t have a Steam Deck, but I just made the transition to fully running Arch on my gaming rig. So far everything just works.

It’s how long it takes the system to render the next frame. High frame times are no good. Equates to lower average fps, and poor player experience. You also want stable frame times. This equates to smooth gameplay and less “stuttering”. Anything under 20ms is considered good. 10ms and less is great. Anything over 50ms will be perceived by the player in a negative way.

I’ve tried a handful of the Android apps and so far the most comfortable one for me is Liftoff. But I loved Boost for Reddit, so I’m very much looking forward to trying the Lemmy version.

I highly doubt people are uninstalling their ad blockers. If anything they’ll just disable it on YouTube if it’s that big of an issue to them.

Firefox + uBlock still works for me on desktop. For my SmartTV and my phone I’m using other frontend applications to get around the ads.

I had the fire suppression system go off while I was in the datacenter once. Scariest thing knowing all the oxygen is being pushed out of the room by the heavier gas.

I’ve never moved so quick to the exit as I did then. Took 2 breaths along the way, was extremely light headed for about 5 minutes afterwards.

It went off because HVAC guys were using an angle grinder to cut some ducting only feet away from the intake vent. All the smoke got pulled in and set off the fire alarm.
