I like the idea of rolling release in theory, but stability is extremely important to me because I use Linux as my daily driver.

EndeavourOS and Manjaro aren’t really going to do much to address your desire to use terminal more than Mint IMO, either; most mainstream distros like that emphasize usability first and foremost.

If you’re looking to really get under the hood, go with Arch ans follow a guide so you don’t bork anything too badly. Arch uses a different package manager than Mint/Ubuntu, so some of the commands might look different if you’re not following Arch-specific guides, but terminal is terminal is terminal in many cases. You can run Steam on Arch, and building the core functionality on your own will get you acquainted with terminal.

Although I’ve used everything from Arch to Zorin, and eventually you will have to use terminal for something. Just depends on what your longterm goals are, what usability you will need to rely on quickly, and how you think you’ll get to those goals most efficiently.

Sounds like you should just use Mint, especially if you tried and like it. It’s customizable, GUI friendly, it’s based on Ubuntu so most guides for either will work, and you can download Steam to it and play native games (or Windows games through Proton).

I don’t know what you’re looking for, that Mint doesn’t provide. You can download different DEs or window managers, you can write your own bash scripts, and the core functionality for regular use is already there.

So is this stock Yuzu without any changes? IIRC the legal issue was something about circumventing copy protection, so would this project be subject to the same issues?

Also, how do I verify that this fork isn’t malware wrapped in emulator code?

A good start to fixing the poverty is if companies making obscene amounts of money from their labor start fairly paying people in these areas.

Here’s the source for anybody curious:

Def worth a watch. Tony’s chocolate looks like a good alternative.

Their Twitter page also clarified literally the next day that it wasn’t a serious tweet, and they weren’t expecting the media to run with it like they did.

Even if they did delist it, though, I fully understand. They sold over 1 million copies in their first week or something? They would behave been overwhelmingly affected by this pay-per-install issue.

I found the intro to be really obtuse but dang if pushing through didn’t pay off. That game is great.

I’m hoping they do a Steam Controller 2.0 at some point that has the same inputs as the Steam Deck - two sticks, proper D-Pad, etc. In terms of compatibility, it can’t be beaten.

I’ll take €5 over the ~$200 they tried to charge me last time I used them

Can you ELI5 Deezer abd FunkWhale, and how they replace what Spotify is offering?

Also not to be a Deborah P. Downington but whenever I see URLs advertised where I’m not expecting them, my first instinct is “Eww, spam” and very much not “I should go to that URL because it might be a good reddit alternative”

I like the sabotage but when this was announced I 100% assumed it was an attempt to boost engagement numbers as they approach their IPO, and looks like it’s working for that.

Statista says:

In 2022, Amazon’s total consolidated net sales revenue amounted to 514 billion U.S. dollars

Their part of the fine is about $56.7 million, making it about 0.01% of that amount.

In US minimum wage terms, that’s working full time for a year and then having to pay about $1.50.

I have different expectations for different games. Generally I want the battery life around the 3 hour mark, though; if it can’t hit that, I don’t really want to play it on Deck.

I prioritize framerate over graphics 100% of the time. If a game hits 60FPS but I have to drop all the graphics settings to Low, that’s a W for me. For AAA stuff, I’ll do 30FPS if I don’t have to drop the resolution too much, and if that 30 is STABLE.

Don’t forget:

1.5. Spend a fair amount of time mocking the people you fired across interviews and social media, and suggesting their work/abilities have no value

He spent plenty of time on thr “Fuck around” path, and is unhappy where it leads.

Also I think the Meta stance is that Threads doesn’t have any former Twitter employees on staff, but who knows if that’s true.

I’ve been really impressed with Mastodon so far, and I hope more Twitter refugees join over time.

Most of the games I like to play on Deck have to target the 3-4 hours as my “Sweet Spot” so most of these will fall in there:

• Dredge

Dredge is billed as a cosmic horror fishing game, and it is super engaging, and works great with gamepad controls. I played through the entire thing on Steam Deck. I think I lowered some graphics settings to hit the sweet spot but it wasn’t any kind of extreme compromise due to the game’s low poly art style.

• The Messenger

You’re a ninja who gets sent on an adventure to defeat the demons who attacked your village. There’s some gameplay and story twists I don’t want to spoil, but even outside of that it’s a fun game with good platforming, new abilities, and boss battles. And it’s got a great sense of humor

• 3DS games

I don’t think I’ve played any that don’t offer at least 3+ hours. My go-to is Mario Kart 7, but pretty much anything in Citra is cool. My 3DS battery died out so I can only play tethered to the charger, so it’s nice to have an alternative - plus you can upscale them to 720p and play them in HD. Lots of fun!

• Hades

I really dislike most roguelike games, to the point that I lose hype now when I hear a cool indie game is one. Hades is one of the handful of exceptions for me. Combat feels very fluid and responsive, the visuals are gorgeous, and it sips battery.

A lot of people say they like the story and characters, though I’m not really clicking with it. But I haven’t finished it yet so maybe I’m just not at the cool story stuff yet? Either way, I’m enjoying myself quite a bit.

Mint for my desktop, SteamOS on Deck. Both do what I need, and the only issues I’ve run into since switching have been random things like GOG not having an updated Planescape Torment build that works out of the box. I don’t play many online competitive games with like invasive anti-cheat stuff, so I haven’t run into a ton of compatibility issues.

Facebook is also a big gathering place for white supremacists, anti-LGBT, and other conservative extremists. It’s largely where the US Capitol insurrection was organized. Meta is no stranger to fascism.
