Well yeah that’s a huge issue infecting the vast majority of the arms computing space which sucks a lot but not a uniquely apple issue. Windows seems to be heading in the same direction such as with the Microsoft surface laptops which also have a 6 year end of life and to a lesser extent most laptops have about 6 year of driver support.

This can be fixed in most laptops by switching to Linux but the issue is still there.

Macbooks aren’t really always overpriced anymore. Macbook neo is among the best value at its price range and m5 Mac air is roughly comparable with other of its tier.

Not sure if either can run Linux yet tho

Just hope elon doesn’t get his hands on it

Oh I miss understood your original point completely sorry for wasting time.

Although battery life on mobile Linux is worse then on android for devices made for android but that’s more a hardware issue then software thing.

Oh android and Linux isn’t different in code compilation I was saying that code compilation isn’t that important in the context of a gaming handheld. I was saying android was better because much more software is built for the platform with a whole lot . I didn’t really think about waydroid which is better then running Linux in a VM on android and yes x86 emulation is better under Linux. But I was mostly talking about hardware to begin with and specifically said that Linux could be run on device if wanted

Yeah your right I haven’t used a raspberry pi before which may invalidate everything I’m saying but you can’t compile proprietary code (such as games).

As for proprietary hardware I completely agree

Oh ok that’s quite interesting and sorry for going on a tangent.

I did mention earlier that portal 3 wasn’t locked to android but android makes sense since it has by far the most software support of any os you could run on an arms processor and regardless of what do do end up running you are going to end up with comparability issues when running most pc games so the whole android is bad for gaming thing kind of falls flat.

Is that true? I personally can’t think of an example where a x86 computer out competes an arms computer with equivalent specs in battery life.

They already knew because of your socks

It runs android because on average x86 machines run worse of the battery then arms based machines (especially in this size form factor) which I would argue is the most important quality to have in a gaming handheld. Your basically trading compatibility for battery life and if you want this thing can run Linux.

The misleading title isn’t exactly helping

Is support getting dropped for pixel phones?

This was a different time I’m not saying its a good thing but an understandable mistake

Lets not treat politicians like well intentioned individual when lying to get into power is common.

I feel like most gender neutral names are single sex leaning so I can kinda understand the confusion

I wasn’t attempting to put words in your mouth you said chromium forks are just repackaged chromium and I asked you if believed the same of other forks.

Sorry if it read that way.

" Except they don’t make a browser. They just repackage chromium" What am I missing then?

Wait are saying that a fork isn’t a real app but just a repackage of another? Is something like Ubuntu not an os but simply a repackaged debian? Even if you dislike brave as a company the browser itself changes more then enough things to be consider different from stock chromium
