Dreaming about happiness, a sister - best type of friend: trust, vibe, be shtoopid with, throw platonic love at - and a world where people talk WITH instead ABOUT you.

Shine bright like the starry sky and become who you want to become. Hasta la vistar. ⭐

    I don’t see the issue. The Steam Deck uses a modified version of Arch Linux. What stops Nintendo from just bringing a device that is mainly a mobile console but with phone features? Like, the PlayStation Vita (Had a sim-slot. 3G. SMS. Skype. some other apps) went really really good in Japan. In the west it died directly after birth, because who had good 3G at that time? And because the marketing in the west failed. First they claimed it would be a mobile PS3, and when PS4 came they degraded the Vita to “A device that streams your PS4”. Wow… blah… Did you know that PlayStation runs on a modified FreeBSD? BSD is in the Unix family. Like Linux and macOS are. They’re like everywhere. In most supercomputers and like the ISS. Just the desktop PC space is… reserved and believes for some reason nothing would work without Windows.

    The Steam Deck, which runs Arch Linux, proves to the unbelieving masses that you can play games on Linux just fine, even if they’re made for Windows… And if you take a moment to think about it… It, a Linux device, runs games that are made for WIndows… Which means they’re way more complex than phone games… Then that’s actually massive. Also, did you ever try to insert a PlayStation disc into an XBox?

    Nintendo wouldn’t need to make their own OS for phones, they could just customize a Linux too… Really, what’s the issue? …No, for real, there’s Linux for phones. I mean, actual Linux. Not this horribly crippled abomination, that due to all the spyware they have by default leechs the battery within a day, Google created, called Android. …Yes, that’s a Linux too, as very sad and depressing one. – Then, what’s iOS? A macOS, basically. Anyway, do you understand where I’m coming from? Phones basically run Unixoids. As said, the Windows PC and the XBox (it runs Windows too, both block the development of gaming with Microsofts proprietary and exclusive DirectX garbage.) are basically the only aliens in computing. They’re so alien, that people for some reaons can’t even imagine that a company as powerful as Nintendo could make a phone. wow… Hilarious. :D Aside from the GameCube all Nintendo consoles are so damn underpowered, it kinda makes me believe they trained all their console-gaming life for doing something like heir own phone or whatever. The Gameboy series and the DS series always had ARM based CPUs. The Switch uses an Nvidia Tegra, literally a tablet processor. Really hope Switch2 or Nintendo Phone has an eShop that doesn’t lag this horribly like the Switch1 one does.

    At least that’s how I imagine it, without thinking on it for long.
