Oh yea, ARM could be fully capable of emulating x86 in a decade but I don't see it being worth it in the near future for a handheld gaming machine for some gains in efficiency. Making a consumer oriented gaming device a canary in a coal mine for ARM translation sounds like an awful decision for Valve.

Both WoW and Skyrim are over a decade old, I'm more worried about newly released games but yea, of course those issues are what I think, I'm not clearvoyent. I have seen the x86 emulation on apple's ARM for modern games and I'm basing my reluctance on that but of course I can't know for sure, I'm just saying the efficiency is probably not worth it.
I'm sure it can run games but it took like half a decade for Proton to be a seemless experience for the majority of games and having 2 translation layers on top of each other sounds like it could take even longer to be on the level Proton already is. Plus there's the added chance for instability of newly released games. The efficiency from ARM seems like a very minor advantage when looking at those downsides.
While Linux runs fine on ARM like no games do and what I have seen from the Apple ARM laptops playing X86 games isn't quite close to being there and the Steam Deck is made with gaming in mind so it doesn't make much sense IMHO. Plus the added complexity of 2 translation layers and the potential issues different games will have there.
Tallinn is the capital so that's where the prices are highest here.
Looks like the 3 room one was bought and prices went up a bit but here's a 2 room one: https://www.kv.ee/muua-2toaline-korter-2018-aastal-valminud-skyline-3536689.html
Does Google even give results that aren't AI generated? I can only get results I want if I use my native language or add site:reddit.com in the end.
Throw in an extra 60k and you get a 3 room apartment in the center of Tallinn with a balcony and a view across the whole city.
Most of my friends don't play video games anymore but I love em more than when I was a kid. Like in school I had no time to play but now I can work from home and I can automate lots of it so plenty of time for hobbies.
The only issue is my tastes are rather niche, I think I finished every story and choice focused RPG where you make your own character. I do like games like Stardew Valley or Minecraft and I play those while a new RPG comes along.
I have way more free time as an adult. Going to school for like 7 hours and then doing homework took pretty much my whole day. Now I can work from home and automate like most of my job I have so much time for hobbies including video games.
If you want manual updates then windows 8 is the only option. You can turn off auto updates on Windows 10 pro with a GPO but it's still install all or nothing then. You could also try running it as a virtual machine if you just need it for one program.
Maybe, but this was all about a new snapdragon processor being released and if the next steam deck should be ARM based, which would be a terrible decision in my opinion. I have no personal attachment to x86 as long as the next mass adobted architecture is backwards compadible for older software.
