Yeah, that stickyness is called rubber reversion. Every device with that soft touch rubber coating will eventually do it. It comes off easily with alcohol. With a little effort you can clean it off and have a perfectly fine plastic mouse without the rubber texture or stickiness.
I have many old devices still in use that just stripped off the coating when it went bad.
I think there is an American ritual aspect to it. I hate football and never watch it other than the super bowl. I've always just watched it for the funny ads, halftime show, and social gathering aspect. There is nostalgia for the 90s-00s where funny Superbowl ads became cultural touchstones, and early "memes" that people would quote and talk about the rest of the year if not more. Though honestly, it feels like the mojo is gone. The ads rarely seem as funny as they used to be. Or maybe we are just so inundated with internet ads and the lightspeed meme cycle that they simply can't draw the same level of cultural relevance they once did.
I spent most of last year running LMDE6 and while it started off good, things just got more frustrating to troubleshoot and the system felt buggier over time. (Which I know is not how things are supposed to be for "stable" Debian.) Switched to CachyOS a couple months ago and things work so much smoother.
Most of my IRL friends who still use reddit claim its mostly for porn. Which blows my mind as I never used it for that. They dont like the idea that most of the porn content on Lemmy is siloed away into defederated instances, and that they would need multiple accounts.
Carry around your birth certificate, SS card, Passport, Drivers license. But you happen to be of a dark complexion, and they gotta meet quota, so all that paperwork gets mysteriously misplaced.
Yeah I only have that quest 2 because it was free. I would like to only stream PCVR titles to it to minimize meta usage. At least until the steam frame comes out.
VR.
Using CachyOS, a new 9060xt 16gb, and a Quest2. When I can get steam VR to launch and connect at all its extremely choppy and stuttery to the point its unusable. Worked fine on the same hardware and network before switching from windows.
I actually loved this interface on my surface pro 2, especially when windows 10 came out and it would auto switch between this in tablet mode and a normal desktop when the keyboard was attached. I grew to like the same design language in the desktop start menu as well. Windows 11 was such a downgrade in UI.
That said, I will take the freedom of linux and customization options of KDE plasma any day.
They only freeze the surface if you hold the can upside down or sideways though. If you hold it upright it just sprays close to room temp CO2 as it is suppose to.
Yeah getting VR working had been the only hangup for me so far. Also wireless. It will connect but its insanely laggy and compression artifacty. Worked fine on the same hardware and network with windows.
At this point I'm hoping the release of the steam frame comes with a ton of fixes for vr on Linux.
