I can’t imagine how scared you are. I know it’s gotta be tough.

It’s dwarfed by its ego, though.

containers should be immutable and not be able to write to their internal filesystem

This doesn’t jive with my understanding. Containers cannot write to the image. The image is immutable. However, a running container can write to its filesystem, but those changes are ephemeral, and will disappear if the container stops.

I’m not a stock market person. I know fuck all about it.

But I’ve been watching the stock for a while now, and that’s the only conclusion I can come to. Someone has to be buying shit loads of the stock to keep it afloat.

While the Switch 2 has better hardware, that’s only a tiny piece of the value proposition. The Deck is leagues better in value. I guarantee it will be able to play new release games for another 10 years. You can’t say that for the Switch 2. It won’t be able to play all of the new releases, sure, but thousands more than the Switch 2.

And that’s not to mention the tens of thousands of games the Deck can play now that the Switch 2 will never be able to play.

The truth is that hype and FOMO are powerful drugs that push gamers to constantly shell out their hard earned money to chase the newest things.

And, to an extent, I get it. There is something to be said about playing games when they come out and experiencing that moment with other gamers. There’s a sort of fraternal feeling about it.

But if you can step back from that and be patient, you can play all the games you have time for and not play into their trap.

That’s part of the issue, though. Sometimes they sell trash for high prices, too. Sometimes they sell the same game across three console generations and increase the price.

There are way more issues with Nintendo than just whatever your beef with Smash is.

Of what?

You can do tons of personalization on immutable distros. It just doesn’t work the way you’re used to. I use Aurora and it’s an excellent tinkerer’s OS.
