it's nice seeing the steam deck docked experience improve with the release of the steam machine, from little things like the interface improving on external displays to big things like a rework of game resolutions. the only issue i still have with it is the resolution of a running game not changing when going between docked and undocked, but that's pretty small

"on linux" means nothing, because when i tried CachyOS and PopOS, fonts looked off there, even though they're also linux

windows has something called ClearType, which does two things:
- text is rendered with subpixel rendering, which abuses the fact that each pixel is actually a thin red, blue, and green subpixel to try to make text look smoother
- text is heavily hinted, meaning that instead of following the exact shape of the glyphs (designs/characters) in the font, it tries to align points with the pixel grid

ClearType was made when the most common resolutions were 640x480 and 800x600, and not 1920x1080

macOS uses no subpixel rendering and no hinting, and most linux defaults i've seen use no subpixel rendering and only slight hinting

reused an old wifi extender as a dedicated wireless PCVR access point

between steam link, wivrn, and alvr (i don't own virtual desktop), steam link worked the best for me on it, on both windows and linux. although, on linux, steamvr doesn't handle the desktop and windows properly for me. and wayvr, another desktop overlay for vr, doesn't seem to work for me. so close, but i guess i'll still be rebooting into windows for vr

having a good wireless vr connection feels weird. it's not a perfect one, and the wifi extender was cheap, but it's so much better than anything i had before. sometimes i forget i'm playing wireless
