The Steam Deck ships with a KDE desktop that users can access easily thanks to its Desktop mode. In fact, many users have docked it to a monitor and external peripherals to use it for their regular desktop computing tasks. That has led some aficionados to believe the Deck can go a step further, potentially helping people shed apprehensions about Linux as a desktop operating system. “It’s possible with more gamers becoming aware of Steam Deck being Linux powered,” Michael Larabel, founder and principal author of computer hardware website, Phoronix, told Lifewire in email....

If you’ve ever wanted to hear someone’s chosen Anthem while viewing their Tinder profile, then the upcoming Music Mode is for you. Tinder users have been able to select an Anthem that they believe best defines them for some time, but the tracks haven’t been automatically playable on profile pages before.

Design: Basic, but clever There’s nothing striking about the design of the Archer A9. It’s gloss black, with indicator lights on the front and the ports, power switch, WPS button, and antennas located in the back. The gloss finish fingerprints and smudges easily, so I would have rather seen a matte finish, but the A9 has an intelligent design otherwise. The branding is small—not tacky or obtrusive—and the A9’s venting is cleverly designed....

The TP-Link Archer C9 AC1900 is a budget-friendly router, so it doesn’t include too many of the features you see in newer, more expensive models.

I tested the TP-Link AC1900 alongside several other long range routers to see how well it performs in the real world....

If you’re a console gamer interested in checking out HDR gaming, there should be very little holding you back. Whereas PC gamers are faced with obstacle after obstacle that we can only hope will quickly be removed as HDR becomes more commonplace....

Hundreds of computer network protocols have been developed, each designed for specific purposes and environments....

Less commonly, it’s also called a CLI, command language interpreter, console user interface, command processor, shell, command line shell, or a command interpreter....
