Guys even if you hate microslop, this is not a bad thing to have the option for those who do use it. If it gets more people over to Linux I only see that as a good thing.

Even though I don’t use gamepass, it’s not a bad thing to have the option.

The Ori games.

Reverse proxy is what you need. I would post instructions here but honestly they wouldnt be that good. Just search it up and follow along.

I’ll check it out in the future if it looks like it’ll be maintained long term.

When something good happens I’ll say good job. When something bad happens I’ll call it out. It’s not like this is going to move back over to windows to get these, but you don’t need to be an asshole.

Ezio and the world look like they’re from 2 totally different games lol

I would go with debian with a light weight desktop. If you have issues after that maybe puppy Linux?

It works fine for general planning. There’s even a random button if you just don’t want to choose.

I have a jank home assistant automation that adds my meal plans into my Google Calendar as well.

It’s not the OS they planned on working with for the Steam Deck. It’s nice they supplied drivers at all for those who chose to do so.

Totally depends on the games you want to play. I have one because I love Smash Bros and the Xenoblade games.

If there isn’t any exclusives or third party games you’d want to play portable on it, I don’t see a good reason to.

I’ve been using Fedora KDE since V40.

I have had some weird issues in the past where a network adapter randomly won’t work on startup a few years back, but haven’t had issues since.

Also back when I had a Nvidia GPU, I remember it having issues updating drivers due to not waiting long enough before restarting even though it said update complete and causing the driver the not work properly.

Those are really the only issues I’ve had with it, mostly just works for me personally.

Does windows let you control external monitor brightness at all? I don’t think ive ever seen the option for external displays on windows.

If they have to sell it at this price I doubt they have many in stock to begin with.

After switching between distros for 8+ years and settling on Fedora KDE, I don’t think I’ve ever had SELinux get in my way for anything.

Oof I can’t recommend a new one to anyone at that price. Fortunately there’s still a lot of used ones around where I live, but that’s a big old yikes.

I just won’t buy their games then? I’m not going to move over just for a few games.

I got it for the expansions and such. The early access is a bonus though.

Just to clarify, it is a 16gb min ram requirement, not 32gb, at least according to the steam page

I did the same thing with my RB button on my LCD model. I went the official repair route, which cost $130. If you can solder you can probably just replace it yourself, I just didn’t feel confident enough to do it.
