• Is it possible for a PC to only run steam and steam games and nothing else?

  SteamOS exists but may limit the games that could be played since it's a Linux based OS. Steam itself also has a web browser so no matter the way you do it have to research how or if you can disable that. There's also ways you could clamp windows down a lot but that's a lot of work.

• So about SteamOS and ChimeraOS...

  I'm a bit confused about SteamOS. Is this the offical version for desktop devices? If so, why do people use ChimeraOS if there is already an offical version of it? Or is it not complete. Source: 6 months ago

• Install on Steam Deck?

  I know I could install Dungeondraft on my Steam Deck when running Windows, but is it possible to install Dungeondraft on my Steam Deck when in "Desktop Mode" of the SteamOS? I know Dungeondraft specifically says "Ubuntu" as one of the OSes it supports, but SteamOS is based on Debian Jessie. I've tried to research how much different Jessie is from Ubuntu, but I'm not having much luck. Source: 12 months ago

• Testing quick way to show Fire TV Stick model/generation

  The model name should be listed under "Device name". This works by looking up the model number from information taken from Amazon's list of Fire TV devices (here). (This is updated automatically, and should also work with Fire tablets/TVs, other Android devices etc.. Silk or other Chromium-based browsers should work, however Firefox doesn't supply this device information.). Source: over 2 years ago

• Insignia Fire TV (2021) Old Interface

  Amazon has a list here. I got a Toshiba TV from the Prime Day sale myself for my bedroom. It looks like newer 4k fire TVs are getting Fire OS 7, but the HD versions aren't. On the stick side, the Fire TV Stick and Stick Lite have Fire OS 7, but not the aging 4k that they still actively sell as their only 4k option. It came out in 2018 and is overdue for a refresh.
