Powered by SteamOS: Valve's Linux gaming OS prepares to expand beyond the Steam Deck

Something to look forward to: Steam users have long wondered about when Valve might make the Steam Deck's custom Linux distro available for other devices. While the company hasn't disclosed its software roadmap, new internal guidelines provide the latest evidence that these plans are progressing. Interestingly, this development coincides with a new patent for a Linux-based handheld gaming device from Samsung.

Windows 11 24H2 is now incompatible with USB scanning devices, too

Editor's take: Windows 11 24H2 increasingly shows how the Windows Insider program does nothing to improve Windows security and reliability. The number of show-stopper bugs experienced by customers who updated to the latest OS version is staggering. Meanwhile, Microsoft is just saying that they're working on (yet another) fix with no specific release date in sight.
