The BASICS portion: Man Pages by: Stan Reichardt
Man pages refers to the man command, which is the system's manual pager. Each page argument given to man is normally the name of a program, utility or function. The manual page associated with each of these arguments is then found and displayed. A section, if provided, will direct man to look only in that section of the manual. The default action is to search in all of the available sections following a pre-defined order (see DEFAULTS), and to show only the first page found, even if page exists in several sections.

MAIN Topic: Steam Deck by Tyler Rudie

On Feb 25th; Valve released the latest foray into the gaming hrdwr market with the Steam Deck. Utilizing a AMD Zen 2 APU, 16gb of memory, & using Arch Linux to power the Steam sftwr. We will dive into how this device works, the goal for Valve, & how this helps us in the broader Linux ecosystem. Also demo games that I own working on the device.

From Wikipedia:
The Steam Deck is a hand held gaming computer developed by Valve Corporation. Steam Deck can be played as a handheld (or connected to a monitor in the same manner as the Nintendo Switch).

It runs SteamOS which is a fork of ArchLinux. The Proton compatibility layer allows it to run sftwr written for MS-Win on this Linux machine. Therefore games written for MS-Win can be run as well as native Linux games from the Steam library.

It is an x86-64-v3 device with integrated gaming inputs. The system is an open platform, allowing users to install other compatible games on the device or other operating systems.
