How big is gaming in linux?

Thanks to Valve and Proton gaming on Linux is already pretty viable and it's getting better all the time. I am very happy with how compatible Steam Deck is and what's funnier sometimes stuff that doesn't work on newer Windows versions works perfectly on a Deck. Battle.net Launcher installed as a non-Steam app and set to run with Proton allowing me to install and play Diablo IV just like I would on my PC just blew my mind.

EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk!

It essentially means that anyone can just keep making phones like that. Personally I'd take IP67/IP68 over "user replaceable battery" any day as it still can be replaced but to me watertightness is one of the most important features for such device. I already had two "waterproof" phones with replaceable battery but both were leaking water inside (Galaxy S5 and Motorola Defy).

Which was your favorite console controller and why?

If I had to pick only one controller to use it would be Xbox One controller (the slightly newer one with BT) as it would cover all my gaming needs for most platforms. I'd pick it over Xbox Series due to to their crappy d-pad "upgrade". On the other hand I hate Dualshock 4 so much I usually play my PS4 using remote play just so I can do it on a Steam Deck or a PC with Xbox controller.
