Valve said they want SteamOS to work on every PC. My guess is, they will release a more PC friendly version some time soonish after Steam Machine releases.

There is also Jackify, which is a tool to download and configure Wabbajack modlists. https://github.com/Omni-guides/Jackify

One of the nice things with Xbox 360 controllers were the rechargeable battery packs. By default, the controllers used 2 AAs, but you could instead use a battery pack. Just remove the AA battery cover, pop in the rechargeable battery, and that’s it. You could then connect a cable to the controller to recharge the battery. And, if the battery happened to be empty (or dead because of old age), you could just replace it with 2 AAs, and continue playing. Some of 8bitdo’s controllers uses (or used) the same design, but they come with a rechargeable battery pack in the box.

There is a fix coming for the Nvidia performance problem. It’s going to take some months for all the pieces to fall in place. See this video for more about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpXINAMaljA

Put them in the fridge and they’ll last for weeks. They might turn brown after a few days but inside they’ll be fine. Put them in an airtight container and they’ll last even longer in the fridge.

My guess is, they want it to use ARM processors for better battery life. They might be using Frame as a kind of test platform for that, and when FEX is good enough, they can go ahead with Deck 2.

Thanks for the link. Tried to find the article before posting, but couldn’t.

I mostly agree with that, but the problem with Bazzite and CachyOS is that they are made by small teams. Distributions made by small teams might die because of some small problem, like a key member of the team being unable to continue with the project. Bazzite team, for example, earlier this year said that they would stop maintaining the OS if a proposed change to Fedora would go through, because their team wouldn’t be able cope with the change.

SteamOS on the other hand, being developed by a company with a lot of money to throw into things, is much more resilient OS, and I think that makes it better for larger masses of users.

But the main benefit is that you can see the install/download progress in more detail.

Trump today calls Russia the ‘aggressor’ in war on Ukraine

Fixed that for you.

I think Heroic uses a safe way to log in to accounts. It uses the service’s (GOG, Epic…) own website for that. You can also change the installation location of games. Defaults are ~/Games/Heroic for games and ~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes for their prefixes, but you can change those and can also install and move games one by one to other locations.

Some of the nice things about Heroic are that it can inform about and install game updates as they become available. You can also easily change various settings, such as the Proton version used for each game or globally.

EDIT: You can view Heroic’s log files under Settings -> Logs.

Any specific reason you aren’t using Heroic Launcher? It supports GOG.

The upcoming macOS Tahoe still supports some Intel Macs from 2019.

Arch’s version number is so large, it cannot be shown.

Why didn’t they rename it Department of Peace, then?

And the easiest way to figure out the USB version is to look at the USB port and connector. If there is white or black plastic piece inside of them, it’s USB 1 and 2 respectively. If the plastic part is blue, red or some other color, it’s USB 3 or better.

Once again, someone misreports the number. It’s not 6% of desktop OS market share. It’s 6% of all OS market share. There’s about 50-50 split between desktop and mobile OSes, which means the correct desktop market share of Linux, according to that site, is 12%.

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/ has a chart that shows Linux English language users only. They haven’t added August numbers yet, though.

Modding is a way to add some adult content to some games. For example, Bethesda’s games have a very active modding community.

E: Good thing I didn’t put any money into this, as it seems I was wrong about this study.

I am willing to bet that this study is one of the many that interpret the so called J-curve as meaning “moderate use is healthy”. These studies fail to take in consideration that some/many of those who don’t use alcohol at all or use very little, have some kind of medical condition that prevents them from consuming alcohol, but also increases their risk of death. This group of people skews the data to look like a J-curve. Handle this group correctly in the data and you get a straight line.
