I know of Sega. They were the ones who built Out Run, if I’m not mistaken. But I know basically nothing about their home consoles, I may have seen one in a store once upon a time, but I don’t know which one it was. I only remember it being black and red and looking like cheap plastic.In short: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I’ve been considering a Switch since the Switch 1 came out, and recently the Steam Deck started to look like an interesting alternative - and I don’t like only having a single option. So when I hear something that doesn’t fit what I thought the Steam Deck is, I ask questions.Nintendo leads on games that I don’t currently have available and experience building consoles, while Valve leads on familiarity and trustworthiness. But you wanted to argue number of games.

Ha ha, you’re not very good at being funny.Let me rephrase, those numbers are not relevant to the numbers I was talking about.

Also, if you want to argue number of games, you should only count those that don’t already run on my pc, because those are the ones I’ll be playing there.

That’s not what I said.

To appeal to the console demographics rather than being associated with the “nerds who will hacksaw a PC into something that looks vaguely like a console” minority.I would think that there are more games on steam that also can be played on the Switch than there are Nintendo games that can be played on the Steam Deck, so that argument seems backwards.

So like the Windows tablet I made the mistake of buying years ago. “it’s not a tablet, it’s a laptop with a lousy screen and an entirely non-existing keyboard”.Buying that was a huge mistake.

Now that’s much more encouraging than any of the other replies I have gotten👍

That sounds an awful lot like things that would be easier to do at a (desktop or laptop) PC. The exact opposite of what I would buy a console for.

I haven’t decided.For now I’m sticking with my Playstation 2, which runs the games just as well now as it did 25 years ago.

And if I want something better, that doesn’t turn into another day at the office?

So you’re confirming that a Switch would be a better choice?

Why does a game console need a desktop environment?If I wanted a desktop, I’d use my pc. If I want to get away from the desktop, I’ll consider buying a console.
Maybe a Switch is a better choice?

Sounds to me like git is what you don’t understand.From what you say, you are basically trying to recreate the commit access fights of cvs and svn. One of the things that git was supposed to do away with.
I use git for all my personal projects. I don’t need an account. I could contribute to the Linux kernel - or any other open source project that uses git (as opposed to Github or Gitlab), and still not need an account. Just send a pull request.

This wan one of the things that git was supposed to do away with. Git is distributed, why should you need an account at gitlab.xfce.org unless you are an XFCE employee?

I was answering a question about what happens when it becomes unprofitable for “powerful actors that have a literal stranglehold on the market” to keep pumping money into maintaining that strangehold.I expected it to be obvious that the first thing that happens is that they stop doing so. THEN there is room for others to improve things.

“So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?”Things improve.
Youtube does not have a monopoly because it’s the only video app installed on your computer, but because it’s the one everyone uses.
Plenty of people have tried to compete, but Youtube was good enough. Others had good reasons to try but concluded that Youtube was good enough.
When Youtube is no longer good enough, they get to show they can do it better.
Google search is worse, because it hasn’t been good enough for a long time, but somehow every competitor has decided to be worse. Altavista 25 years ago beat what Google search is today, I can’t imagine Microsoft being unable to afford to bring Bing up to Altavista levels.
