While it's weird that they waited so long,

I think they are afraid emulation on steam deck gains traction.

Since it runs Linux, you could install and run Nintendo games on a competitor portable console that has a lot more games and a more powerful hardware

I think the solution is bigger pockets.

I can easily fit my 6.43 inches phone on my pockets, but that might not be true with women clothes.

Unless you want to have a tablet size screen in your pocket. Then I can see why foldable screens would be appealing

Makes sense. I only pay for games when they get discounted, so I didn't know

I think that only happens when you don't use windows for many months, which might be true for Linux users

That used to be true a few years ago, but now games just works without any tinkering from my experience. Except some online games due to kernel level anti cheats (like Fortnite and Valorant), but I prefer single player games anyway

input-leap will but it's still in development

I'm all for defensive driving, but if an animal (or someone) jumps at the front of your car at the last moment, how can you avoid it?

I agree. That's what I learn when I was in school. We also had to identify objective and subjective texts

You're correct, but just like you said, many applications need that.

If I install LibreOffice on Windows or Android, it'll also have access to all my files. I really don't see how that makes Linux more insecure.

Sure, ideally it would use portals, I just don't like the attitude of the blog post.

Addressing concerns or areas for improvement, and suggesting users solutions like installing Flatseal, would be far more constructive. Even better would be submitting pull requests to enhance security themselves, since they seem to know so much about it. Instead, they're just spreading FUD and complaining about small problems or nonsensical arguments like Windows adopting rust. Since when Rust is more used on Windows than Linux?

For instance, the blog post mentions Xorg's security concerns but overlooks mentioning Xorg's alternative Wayland, the default in most distributions when using KDE Plasma or Gnome, which are also the most used.

If security is so important, there are distros like Qubes OS, but most users don't need that level of paranoia, specially if it ruins workflow, performance and productivity
