  • I guess we’ll see if he’ll drive somewhere else. Having a former F1 driver in the roster is lucrative for teams because it attracts sponsors. Jack Aitken replaced George Russell at Williams for only one race and didn’t even last that long there, yet, he’s now “former F1 driver Jack Aitken”. Also, it turned out he’s a great sportscar driver who’s now racing Cadillac’s hypercar in IMSA.

    The upcoming season in an LMP2 would be a good indicator of Sargeant’s performance. It makes little sense to fire him before that, unless there are non-performance reasons to do so.







  • it makes sense, now, why Valve would choose KDE for the Steam Deck (which has a touchscreen).

    I like my Steam Deck but I must be honest here: Desktop Mode, which is Plasma 5 and not the latest 6.x release, is trash on that touch screen. It just a shrunken regular desktop. You can use some environment variables to affect a few QtQuick applications but the results are mixed. There are KDE applications what are designed for mobile but don’t even consider the possibility of anything but portrait screen orientation. SteamOS doesn’t ship with a proper Maliit keyboard, it’s just Steam’s built-in one which never pops up automatically outside of Steam and Steam games.

    Plasma 5 on that tiny screen isn’t enjoyable at all. It kinda, sorta works but I’m happy the touch pads exist.
