I never owned a Switch, but I would say it was instrumental in the Deck’s conception. If the popularity of the Switch had never happened, I wonder if Gabe would have taken the chance.

Nintendo cuts all kinds of corners and usually doesn’t bother competing as a “performance” console, but people generally loved that thing when it first came out. I’m sure people will have gripes about Steam Deck v1 when v2+ comes out, too.

Oh really? I thought I saw elsewhere that it had achieved and even exceeded performance of the proprietary driver in another test. Maybe it was just that specific case.

SteamGridDB? Fantastic, especially now that the Steam Deck is part of the ecosystem!

I wonder if your Samsung TV got an update that is causing a conflict. Is it connected to the internet?

Epic CEO is just salty he didn’t come up with the Steam Deck concept first.

You add the game in Heroic, and it has a menu option to add the game to Steam. There’s another setting that will do this automatically, once the game is installed.

I dropped the first game specifically because of the “combat.” I’d give Alan Wake II a try if it was a different mechanic.

I can’t see that and not think of over-stove-microwave vent fans. 😅

Maybe I’m missing something, but it didn’t look like the GPU was engaging at all. 15fps? That doesn’t seem right. Given that the overlay had a battery percentage reading, and the GPU readings were all zero, I’m guessing this was on a laptop, and it didn’t switch from using the iGPU to using the GPU.

Either that, or NVK has a lot of work to do, and that doesn’t track with recent news about its progress.

OP, is this your test? Can you shed light on the results?

It’s only the Conservatives doing that, anymore. I don’t think most folks from Austin, Houston, and Dallas are really under any illusions, anymore.

And to be fair, Texas has a lot going for it, if only you could excise the cancer that is the Republican party. They ratfuck the state and still somehow manage to scare their followers into believing it would be worse without them.

Oh, interesting. Thanks!

To be specific, SteamOS isn’t actually immutable. Its “immutability” is more artificial, since the updates come as complete images, which effectively wipes out any changes to the core system files, resulting in the same goal of an unchanged core OS. But you could, if you wanted to, set up a sudoer user and modify things like any other Arch install (until the next update wipes it all out, obviously).

Bazzite, on the other hand, is truly immutable. But there’s some drawbacks with Bazzite that will likely never change, like the fact that laying certain VPN clients isn’t possible, due to how they need to write to certain system directories. You may be able to circumvent this in specific cases by layering via rpm-ostree or utilizing a distrobox, but I can’t get mine to install no matter what I do. YMMV.

>> and diff also work on the latest version of Powershell, so all of your instructions should work on both Linux and Windows.

I’m not super informed about the kernel layer, so forgive me if this is a silly question, but how does that approach compare to atomic distros like Fedora Kinoite, UniversalBlue, or NixOS?

Yes, keep it up. I’m sure Ted Cruz is going to love campaigning on this loser issue.

All Allred has to do is point out how you can exchange “LGBTQ” with “Black,” and it becomes crystal clear that this is segregation in a different hat.

Edit: Also, I’m so glad to see my tax dollars being used for the “important” things. /s

Exactly. Almost as if trans women are actually women…

The whole, “They’ll dominate women’s sports!” is an ignorant statement at best and a blatant strawman at worst.

That would be great advice if we weren’t standing at the literal precipice of fascism. Fascism is a storm (pardon the unintentional pun towards QAnon) threatening to overtake us. If ever there was a time to suck it up and choose the “flotsam” to survive to fight another day, it’s now.

The Republicans, aka the Fascists, have a large and cohesive voting bloc, driven by propaganda and fear, that will vote for them just because they’re not Democrats, regardless of the fact that they are known criminals, grifters, and will vote for things that hurt them. This is not the time to divide into ideological factions and hope we make it.

I can’t say for sure if Gnome has anything to do with it, since the DE should be separate from the drivers, but it’s a point worth mentioning just in case. Obviously, there’s differences between both versions, but the devs have tried to make the experience as interchangeable as possible. For example, they include GSConnect by default, so you don’t lose out on KDEConnect functionality.

The controller issue, though, is upstream and affects anyone using the BlueZ package to run Bluetooth.

If anyone was thinking of switching on an OLED Deck, I would wait a bit longer. The recent changes have been great, but just before the update, I was about ready to reimage back to SteamOS due to the frustrating bugs. Still undecided if I will do that, ultimately, and wait for full support.

Fortunately, to its credit, rolling back to a previous working image is trivially easy, so you don’t have to live with specific bugs that get introduced. Benefits of atomic distros.

ETA: if you’re into tinkering and learning a new paradigm for how to work with an immutable OS and layered packages, it works on Desktops as well!

Don’t do the math! It makes all their fear-mongering look stupid!
