I've done some reading: They seem to just be shipping preconfigured linux installations(ubuntu), and thats one of their big selling points. I personally don't agree with this, because the tinkering is one of the big things for me. They don't seem to advertise anything besides Linux or Linux-related things. It's a cool idea, but I don't recommend paying any extra money for them to preinstall Ubuntu(which has been known to have telemetry). All the software seems to be available in all the major repos, so compatibility should be fine in other distros. But from a hardware perspective it looks like a great deal!
I'm afraid I don't know much about the company, I'll look into them. It does seem very decent for the price though! With linux I'd expect you could get alot more battery life with some TLP configuration. I'm just curious why you'd want such a powerful cpu if you already have a steam deck?
I think it might be worth your time looking into the Frameworks laptops. To get a good cpu and the same io as you'd get here would cost you ~1200$ iirc, but the refresh rate would be lower. But if you do decide to buy this I wouldn't recommend getting linux preinstalled.
Edit: Just checked and that would be with a very low end cpu, so nvm. Getting one with a intel chip with comparable performance would set you back 2600$.
Nintendo Switch emulation
I'm considering buying a steam deck soon, and am very interested in switch emulation. The megathread doesn't seem to say much about switch emulation(unless I missed something). So are there any good and trustworthy sites for roms, DLC, keys and BIOSes? I'd love to rip them all myself but I'm too worried I'll brick my switch to attempt hardmodding.
Thanks in advance!

I've heard great things about GrapheneOS, and I'm going to buy a pixel 7 pro soon just for that reason. I'm afraid I can't help with your other issues.
Just had a look about, it seems that Yuzu has the option to download DLC automatically for any games you might have, but Yuzu has been taken down, so would that mean the servers hosting the DLC are also down?
I'm considering buying a steam deck, which runs Linux, but also wish to play Mariokart 8 Deluxe. I've seen it be done, so I know its possible, but does anybody know about the DLC/ playing online?
Thanks in advance
I'm considering buying a pixel 7(a/pro) or pixel 8(a/pro). I was wondering if the longer updates for the pixel 8 impacts grapheneOS, and if that means I should go for the pixel 8. And have any GrapheneOS users here had any issues that they wouldn't have had on Android.
Thanks alot in advance!
Wouldn't it be better to open specific ports than disabling the entire firewall? Or am i missing something?
Little kitty big city, quite amusing. Not that far into the game, but I loved the cinematic used to introduce you to the game and its very mellow
