Switzerland is still not part of the EU. Proton, Informaniak and Kolab should have the Swiss flag and not EU. It's not the same laws and they are not forced to apply GDPR to their policies.
As a SteamDeck owner I must say it doesn't feel heavy at all and the weight is really well balanced, but yes it's quite bulky compared to a Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite for exemple.
Yes you can setup steam to boot up in Big Picture mode but this isn't equal to gamescope used by bazzite, steamos or chimeraos that adds some tweaks and perks for gaming improving a console-like experience.
You can setup EmuDeck on bazzite using Desktop mode and once your controller and emulator settings are setup having your ROM library synched to your steam non-steam library and booting them from gaming-mode. So yes for setting up the emulator desktop-mode is the way to do but there is no reason to not using the HTPC ISO to get a console experience for playing RPCS3 games.
I would trade that GeForce GTX 1660 for a Radeon RX 6600 (these are cheap too) because NVidia doesn't work well with gamescope (SteamOS/Bazzite big picture console mode).
I own a Lift and use it with my Mac Book, it's great. I use it with bluetooth but it also has a USB dongle. I uses other wireless logitech mices on GNU/Linux and had no issue using the dongle. I will try to test my Lift on a Linux machine using the dongle and let you know because it would be weird if not working.
I disagree with you however I find it attrocious than when you upgrade (exemple from ZorinOS 16 to 17) if you own a Pro licence you have to buy a new licence (with a discount) and can't "downgrade" to non-Pro (except from reinstalling it from scratch).
I think the way the Pro is sold shouldn't put upgrade behind a paywall.
Selling a (bloated) Pro version to bring cash isn't necesseraly cancer it really depend on what you get and how you're treated. And with ZorinOS I was somewhat disapointed...
I totaly agree with you, I am somwheat new to the fediverse, I discovered it somewhere between 2018 and 2020 and discovered nostr a few years later, I didn't got it at first but today I understand how interesting it is to build social network or plateformes, even though that Nostr can do far more than social media.
Because the admin don't have to manage the authentification process of its users.
Because users don't rely on a central server to keep their social graphs or interact with them.
Because owning some private keys makes you owning your digital identities.
Of course the UX isn't as great as the fediverse or not close to centralized opaque surveillance plateforme but it has rapidly improved and I had much joy discovering the bridge builded by soapbox and really want their Ditto servers project to become a thing.
I really think that we should teach kids asymetrical cryptography at school because if we want to build a digital society we need strong encryption, true authentifications and data integrity checks. But I'm a dumb utopist...
I always had Endeavor on my radar if I want/need to use Arch more extensively, it really looks like a great distro to use based on cutting-edge arch.
