Sony is facing a $7.9 billion lawsuit that could impact over 9 million players. They’ve been accused of deleting purchased movies, TV shows, and games—items customers thought they owned forever.

This lawsuit, filed by consumer advocate Alex Neill, challenges Sony’s alleged abuse of its dominant position, charging high prices and restricting competition on the PlayStation Store.

    You could install that, yes. But keep in mind that distros made for the Deck include the game mode for the Deck, as well as Steam Input, which is one of the greatest things Valve has made, allowing you to make complex macros and rebind every part of the Deck, from the buttons to the trackpads or even the gyro, in almost any way you want. Without those things, the Deck is just a PC with a very small screen. Steam Input is what makes many games, even ones that were never meant to be played with a controller, viable on the Deck.

      I might be misunderstanding but isn’t that a function of steam itself? Not a custom OS? And game mode is just big picture mode?

        Game mode is way better than big picture because

        • support for decky loader
        • control system level settings from game mode itself
        • has gamescope which handles win32 game settings much better
        • disables other OS processes/the desktop and frees up resources (not sure about this)
        • control more things with controller instead of the touchscreen
