I was about to buy a controller specially for the deck when it’s docked, but I might not have to in the end.

Well it’s crazy that they’re accusing him of giving too much of his own time.

I really hope the Stop Killing Games initiative changes something as I want to own my (single player) games forever on every store (not only GOG as it’s not so Linux friendly despite the heroic games launcher).

Good news even if it might not help with the usershare👍

Well if it means thst every computer company is starting to make it difficult to change your OS, it’s worrying.

It’s also good that nowadays you have companies like Tuxedo, Slimbook and others, but I prefer recycling old computers given the choice.

My god your install process sounded really difficult.

This coming from someone running a Surface Go 1 and MacBook Pro 2012 which weren’t really linux friendly for the install process.

In the future, I’ll probably only get used devices as I’m kind of anti consumerism, but I’ll be careful to always get something reslly Linux friendly.

My last experience with anything from Dell was my first Linux install in the 00’s and it was really easy. I guess Dell has regressed in this regard.

Anyway welcome to Linux!

Oh it looks cool! Great way to recycle something👍

Well thanks a lot. I guess the notification will be coming in the future🤞

Oh I’ve never heard of the Nix configuration tool. I might look into it when the need arises.

Thanks for these answers.

About the « deck verified » part, I was only seeing it on the Deck, but now that I’ve checked it’s kind of hidden when you go to the store with Firefox. So that’s one problem solved.

Yeah for now I’ve been using a lot before buying games, but it didn’t give me any information about all of my questions.

Still it’s a great ressource for any compatibility issue.

I’d say it should even be implemented into Steam OS without ressorting to a plugin.

Interesting post.

I’ve always been really interested about immutable distros, but I haven’t broken my Fedora Workstation 42 yet, so I won’t switch until I do.

What would be a game changer for me is a distro that you could easily replicate (settings, apps and data) from one computer to another. From what I know Nix is the closest thing but it ain’t easy to approach…

It is your right not to enjoy Firefox and no one can tell you not to.

Personnaly, I’m really happy with Firefox for now even if I’m hearing that Mozilla is taking some decisions I don’t like.

I plan on using Firefox as long as there is nothing better with similar value to mine.

Oh yeah that would be great. I hope it’s really coming🤞

Well as you should.

I prefer the esthetics of this M4 generation over the next one even if the driving isn’t supposed to be as good.

I’m sure it would be good enough for me😇

Well that’s good news and you could maybe just reinstall everything if you don’t find another easier solution.

Yeah you can be proud of your city for such a thing.

Je vis à Genève et j’adorerais qu’on suive votre chemin en la matière.

I’ve had something like this on a Playstation 3 controller a while ago.

It was a problem with some foam which got thinner with age and a contact patch.

I don’t know if the same thing could apply to a few years old Steam Deck, but the symptoms were exactly the same.

I guess for arcade games it’s logical, but it doesn’t apply to games like Heavy Rain, Last Of Us, Uncharted or Final Fantasy.

But I guess every one behaves differently and enjoys different things.

I’m just worried when I see my 8 year old son trying a new game every time he faces a challenge in the previous one.

Well for me it’s like starting 40 books, 40 movies or 40 songs and not finishing them.

If it’s a story driven game, I would never picture myself not finishing it unless I don’t enjoy it.

Also I see the starting something and not finishing it as a result of the short attention spans generation, but I might be getting old at 38😅

Well I’m happy for you if owning so many games makes you happy as it supports a hobby I love.

Personnaly, I think that not finishing so many of your games shows some kind of problem, but I’m not a psychologist. Owning so many too…

I might even have the inverted problem as I feel like it’s an obligation for me to finish a game unless I don’t like it.
