You install Steam, enable proton compatibility (on all games or on RL specifically), download and launch the game. Even more chance that it works on the first try with Arch linux-based distro, since the kernel version is closer to the ones running on the Steam Deck.

If you got the game from the Epic Games store, you download and install Heroic games launcher and proton. In the game settings, you specify the install path of proton and it should be good to go

You could try EndeavourOS, it’s based off Arch, so 99% of the Arch wiki can be directly applied to your system, and the installation process is much more normal with a GUI and a selection of Desktop Environment to choose from.

The hardest part with Arch is getting the initial setup working imo, so you can put a few more hours trying to install it (if you’re ready to bear the frustration that might come with it) or pick a distro like EndeavourOS with a GUI installer to get a working system quicker.

Someday? Canada is already trying to ban the Flipper Zero, we’re living in your nightmare.

I wasn’t a huge fan of manpages either until I got a kernel class at uni. The man pages for syscalls and library calls are super well made.

I mean, if a service is free… You’re the product, you’ve never been the customer 🙃

Hello world (or person in this case)

Welp I’m of those “windows” users then 😉

I see what you did there, honestly debian major release names and older Linux kernel version names are 2 of my favorites easter eggs in open source 😂

Absolutely understandable, personally I prefer the AUR since I don’t ever need to download and compile the source code anymore, since everything I need got an AUR package.

I also had bad experiences with apt, mostly that their release are too slow/I get stuck on an old release (my raspberry pi’s python version is still 3.7, which caused problems since I was using a python 3.8 library). That’s probably on me for not knowing how to upgrade my release, but I switched to Arch before learning how to fix this

For the pacman flags, I simply use yay, the AUR wrapper instead, yay do a full system upgrade, and yay python will show me a list of packages that have similar names to install. Still not as clear as apt, but at least there’s no weird flag letters to remember for most use cases

Might be cool to actually have a pattern copy pasting for those 10 main use cases, I feel like using a LLM just to repeat some boilerplate is such a waste.

One case where the LLM is really useful is when generating some basic comments, but to be fair 50% of the time my comments explain why I’m doing something, and Copilot isn’t smart enough to understand that.
