It absolutely is. I even tested it with WiFi turned off.

Gnome like to get things perfect before they make it default. It’s what makes Gnome pretty stable, even if it does mean power users have to type in a command to expose the setting in the meantime.
The wait can be frustrating though.
The first thing is what they did. They knocked on the door, they spoke. At one point he was detained when they had a look about and then they apologised and left.
There was no SWAT (this is Germany so technically it would be a SEK team I guess), there was no flashbangs (why would police even have those?), there were no rifles in faces.
So the most comparable console there is $456, and this is $700.
That is bad.
The PS5 Pro barely costs more to produce.
$700 is bad. $913 is awful.
Just because the PS3 (a console universally panned as being way too expensive) was similar doesn’t mean PS5 Pro pricing is alright.
No, but it’s been getting stronger relative to the dollar consistently over the past 2 years. But we aren’t seeing that in prices.
I’m not expecting it to be like ~2007 time where £1 was $2.
But things should definitely be better than it was 2 years ago, relative to USD pricing.
The PS5 Pro pricing is testing the waters for PS6 pricing. If they can’t sell well, they can easily drop prices (the PS5 Pro barely costs more than the PS5 to produce). They’re just gathering data on what people will accept.
Doing that with the PS6 is too risky. Sony botched the launch of the PS3 and it backfired on them hard letting MS get a foothold with the 360. MS then did the same with the XBone launch and the PS4 ran away with it.
If people signal to Sony now that the PS5 Pro is way too much (it’s £700/$913 here ffs), then the PS6 will be cheaper. Don’t accept their greed.
If you think $700 is bad, it’s £700 in the UK… which is $913. 🤢
Also:
median household income, UK (2022): £32,400 ($42,265)
median household income, USA (2022): $74,580
A PS5 Pro is 26% of the typical UK household monthly income.
A PS5 Pro is 11% of the typical US household monthly income.
The US pricing is bad. The UK pricing is absolutely insane.
The OLED Deck starts at £479. Still a lot but not as egregious. The LCD Deck is currently £262 ($344), which is pretty great.
This isn’t SWAT. Or SEK, since this is Germany.
It’s just the usual armed police.
Allegedly, someone (likely a hater of this dev) reported that this dev was going to kill his partner then himself. Armed police turned up.
Guns aren’t the only thing that can cause bodily harm.
There was no arrest.
Idk why this submission is being downvoted, this is some nice work.
The attention to detail in Libadwaita is pretty great
Based on my pricing…
LCD Deck: starting at £262 ($344)
OLED Deck: starting at £479 ($630)
It’s certainly better. But by enough to justify an 83% higher price? You may as well be saying why buy a MX-5/Miata when a Porsche Boxster 718 is better.
Fedora. Installer is a bit rubbish (being replaced soon) but it’s not difficult.
In terms of speed, stability, and being up-to-date it’s been exceptional IMO.
Pop is the only one that really ever makes any reference to windows in its marketing
Gnome is great. I don’t really see how it’s tablet-like. It’s an extremely keyboard-focused desktop.
It’s a great addition. It’s a surprisingly powerful aspect of gnome that nobody, not even Gnome, ever seem to talk about.
They really should place a text file in that folder to explain how it works (and of course exempt it as being used as a template)
Ubuntu, Mint, and to some extent PopOS are pegged as easy Windows/MacOS alternatives, just like ElementaryOS. They’re still popular.
The 2nd. And even then, you can just turn off version checking and extensions generally just work.
