Like together? Probably not

You might like Arch, especially now that it has installer, I wouldn’t consider it hard to setup and use. Also you’re not even new to Linux so youll handle it easily

I saw that right after donating, right after restarting my laptop after long time and seing the notification. I saw the chart and was like “dang, there was more poeple like me, also xmass time or smh” xD

Exactly, but funnily enough I’m still better at Windows than most of its users.

I hope ANV gets better over time

No idea why you consider KDE buggy. Maybe the distro you’ve used ships old version or the build is low quality, maybe it’s the matter of using Wayland vs X11 and outdated NVIDIA drivers? For me, the current Plasma 6.2 is rock solid on multiple machines.

Other than that, for try this https://github.com/diodon-dev/diodon Or this https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ

Part of such apps do work already if they use libusb, which is for instance Playstation controller updater.

Steam home console now makes more sense than ever given that the current console generation is sort of ass. A box with gigantic library of games from day 1, supporting all modern TV features, new titles all the time guaranteed, flexibility, not being locked down to just one ecosystem… And if it’s comparable to PS5/Xbox it can get a lot of traction, just like Steam Deck.

What do you mean

Initial version of a Bluetooth driver

Will Wine apps be able to interact with Bluetooth? That could be useful for stuff liks ODB2 scanners

It’s not that hard after all, but requires some attention span at least initially

I created an issue in tracker for Steam Linux client: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/11518 Found some logs in Steam directory:

Interesting…

What games though

As many frags as possible

Try to explain your problems to him/her, the most simplistic way so that they can understand it.

Sure, Linux has some selling points and it’s a good moment for it to try and gain new users, but I’m tired of people acting like it’s the YOTLD because of what Microsoft is doing to Windows. It’s just delusional

Like if people actually cared that a Windows version goes EoL. That literally means nothing to most people and typical PC user won’t even notice anything until something will functionally break, which will take YEARS after it’s EoL.

I’m 31 and I only really started playing games around 4 years ago, apart from playing on bootleg NES consoles or C64 as a kid.

It is worth it if you have fun doing it, and you probably will!

If you don’t know where to start, you probably still haven’t figure out what genres you’d be into.

You might like Steam Deck, an affordable console-like handheld PC, because:

• It offers a wide variety of games from all generations, so if you want to experiment with different genres you can always find something for yourself - you can purchase a game on Steam store and if it’s not for you, just return it below 2h of gameplay
• Very user friendly, easy to navigate for non-techies, despite being PC, for the most part it just works, great entry for folks with no prior experience with PC gaming
• It’s a handheld! Take it with you anywhere easily, play in bed, on couch, toilet, whatever. If you’re used to playing on a phone, this might be appealing
• you can still dock it as a regular PC and have mouse+keyboard+external screen if you want to try gaming this way
• if you want to tinker to explore even further, you can emulate older consoles, play with 3rd party launchers, use it for other things than gaming, even replace the software completely - it is all possible

Other choices are perfectly valid like Nintendo Switch, Xbox or PS5, but they’re within their respective closed ecosystems. With Xbox and PS5 you’re also stuck with TV. Consoles have limited backwards compatibility, so for example Switch only supports games for Switch, PS5 supports games for PS5 and PS4, and it’s a bit better with Xbox iirc.

If you want Nintendo Switch (if games like Mario or Zelda are appealing to you), maybe wait a little bit as they’re cooking new generation for release soon-ish, and the current one is old and miserable in terms of performance.

O thanks! I needed glxgears equivalent for Wayland at some point

Is it the little guy on the left and his buddy on the right, or the other way around?
