VR is also flat…

Is this an off season April Fool’s joke?

I don’t have any tips, because I do not play the game. I assume its heavily CPU limited. So settings that affect CPU should be lowered and for the graphics side, lowering resolution with FSR would help too. DLSS is not available on the Steam Deck and I wonder which FSR is supported. I’m just curious, more than anything else.

I wonder if there is upscaling used and at what resolutions this is played on.

You’ll need to increase the swapfile on the Steam deck to use a small portion of the built-in SSD as some slower RAM.

Usually the swapfile is only used when no RAM is left, so the PC does not crash and can continue working. Using this as the base for the game to run is impressive! Shows how fast SSDs have become.

The entire operating system is? I mean its like asking what the difference between Ubuntu and SteamOS is. One is optimized for a specific use case. You do a lot of other stuff with a phone. Even the controls are different from a gaming device or PC. The display is much smaller. Why don’t you think we have more phone based operating systems like Ubuntu for phones?

Also you cannot really hide activity in an open source project.

You could, if the person was not known to work for the company.

The thing is, long time ago when GOG was relatively new, they did actually support Linux. And they stopped doing so with the new client.

Me too. If GOG would support Linux, I would have chosen to buy there too. Valve is actively developing on Linux related stuff and their client and software is supporting Linux. Steams DRM is not anti consumer in a way usually DRM is. It allows us to play offline in example and does not get in our way. Off course DRM free is the best case, but without official Linux support I don’t want to buy from GOG.

A smaller handheld like the DS would be neat. Also can you imagine a Steam Phone? While it would make sense to do so, its a total another beast to develop and maintain a phone based operating system.

How is it bloated if you decide what to put on? Gentoo isn’t a traditional distribution, its what you make it to. Still you have to answer for yourself why you even want to switch to Gentoo. And if all the extra work for compilation is worth it. Do you even want to compile everything and customize the compilation process? If not, maybe Gentoo is not for you. That’s the thing. Only you can answer that.

Why do you want switch to Gentoo in the first place? I think its a good idea if you want to customize and build lot of applications yourself. Besides heavy hitters like browsers or the Kernel. So only you can answer if this is a good idea for you.

Linux is not a lifestyle

I have to disagree about this point.

I’d love to some of the Bazzite users migrate to Bluefin or Aurora.

Why?

50/50

Sure, I would understand it if its longer text.

While I agree its not adding anything, I don’t get why one gets upset about titlecase for blog post titles. I mean its not like something making it less readable or less indexable or anything like that. So why even ask to stop doing it? Or does it do any harm I’m not aware off (even if its for readable reasons in your opinion). I personally prefer normal case for titles as well, but that is just a preference of mine, not because I see any benefit in doing so.

This title is a bit funny. :D You had me in the first halve, not gonna lie.

Nice list. I’ve added it too, can’t hurt. Although with these third party blocking lists we get dependent on what we can see and not based on others “taste”. But I guess this is the price we pay.

This is a search tool that will only return content created before ChatGPT’s first public release on November 30, 2022.

https://tegabrain.com/Slop-Evader , the linked source code on Firefox extension page seems to no longer exist: https://github.com/tegacodes/slop-evader

So it literally cuts off everything after that date. Why the need for an extension in the browser? One can add max date to any search engine search terms and limit the results too. At least this works with Google, in example before:2022-11-30. This could be a bookmark in example: https://www.google.com/search?q=before%3A2022-11-30 Note I do not use Google myself. You have to try this with your favorite search engine yourself.

While I think the idea is good to search everything before, I am not certain we need a closed source extension for if we could just add a search term to it manually. And this does not really solve searching the web with content after that date. Still need a better solution to this, especially if time goes on.

BTW there is also the package (Bash script) downgrade to do this job. It is in official EndevourOS repositories, but also in the AUR. And if you want do it manually, head over to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages .
