AHHHH!

I cannot read the phrase “them bones” without that song playing in my head haha

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of the post. Mindustry is awesome, I got so addicted to it for a bit haha

I pretty much just use my switch for Nintendo exclusives at this point. For the games I do own on both I tend to prefer the Deck’s input options and flexibility in that regard more often than not.

For Skyrim I’ve had pretty good luck with just adding Vortex mod manager as a non steam game, running it with Proton and using mods that way

Discord cant stream desktop audio at all on Linux aside from sharing a tab’s audio if you’re using Discord in a web browser. There are custom clients (like discord-screenaudio which OP mentioned) capable of doing this to some extent but they’re based on the web version of discord and lack features / can be buggy. Also these options don’t have hardware encoding so any fast moving content will become a choppy mess for the viewers.

The other alternative on Linux is to just route the app’s audio into your mic source. Others will hear it but it will come out as if its your mic so even those not watching the stream will have to hear the stream audio unless they mute you.

But the article is talking about unsupported Chromebooks being sold through Amazon and Walmart. Google isn’t selling the unsupported Chromebooks on their own web store.

I remember having a lot of fun with Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time a few years ago.

You have up to 4 players (iirc) manage a spaceship which is essentially a platforming area. It gets pretty hectic (in a fun way imo) managing the different equipment on the ship and piloting it around while dealing with obstacles and enemies.

Even when you’re not intentionally plagiarizing, Turnitin may catch something that could screw you over when the assignment is submitted. Sometimes you have a chance to see what Turnitin analyzes and resubmit the assignment but OP is saying they can only submit it once so they want to use the Grammarly checker first.

Yes, SteamOS does count as Linux. Android does not. The Android and iOS Steam app is just for social features / store, not for playing games so neither show up on the survey.

SteamOS Holo, which is what the Steam Deck uses, makes up 42% of the Linux systems in the survey results.

Droidcam is a pretty decent option too for using Android phones as a webcam, that’s what I’ve used on Linux to accomplish similar things. Just run the droidcam server on the Steam Deck and either connect to it from the phone via local IP address or over USB.

You said “100% ChatGPT” initially which gives off a different impression than “I just have a writers assistant”. People are gonna read that and assume it means you’re just asking ChatGPT about it and pasting what it said rather than conveying your own opinion.

And saying “I love how it pisses you off” bothers me. It makes it sound like you relish in the way that it’s annoying to people and have that as a reason for using it.

Ahh, i see what you mean. My bad haha

They are “going hard” the way I see it. Without Valve doing legwork behind the scenes and collaborating with anticheat developers we wouldn’t even have Apex Legends running on Linux like we’ve had for a year and a half. They’ve been talking about wanting to use Linux as a viable PC gaming platform to escape Microsofts lockdown of their platform since the days of Steam Machines when Windows 8 and the new store app were giving bad signs.

Either way Valve would be silly not to provide a compatible way to use Windows on the Deck. Even though the situation is much better these days, they know very well that a lot of enthusiast PC gamers would be dismissive of the Deck if Windows couldn’t work properly on it and that word of mouth would bring less confidence in the product.

If you already own the game on Steam just use Proton. It ran perfectly fine for me through various proton versions over the years (whatever was the latest at the times I played) or proton expiremental. Before they dropped native support I would typically run the game through Proton anyways as it performed much better than the native Linux version at the time.

Otherwise using Heroic game launcher should be fine. Prior to Heroic getting popular I saw that people were installing Epic Games Store via Lutris and that ran Rocket League fine too.

Tbh I have not really encountered people saying they use Discord for privacy reasons, usually it’s people complaining about the privacy implications of discord

Yeah it usually downloads sync’d stuff to Internal Storage/Android/media/com.nextcloud.client

Haha thats a fun idea. Might have to add that to my config

I didn’t have a specific plan for how I wanted to use it but having it around encourages me to use it.

Because of the Steam Deck I was able to kick back with it in my hands and be like “eh why not start Yakuza 0 I’ve had it in my library for a while” and now I’m set on playing through the whole series since they’re remastered on Steam these days.

Also is nice to have it around for whenever I wanna kill a bit of time and run some roguelites or other casual games. But overall it’s made it much easier for me to drop in and try out my backlog of single player games since it’s so easy to start playing even if I’m not in the mood to sit at my desk.

I’ve also found fun use cases like leaving it in its dock and using the touchscreen to trigger Soundux soundboard with the audio routed to my main PC. Or using obs websocket to control OBS on my main PC from the Deck’s touchscreen, kinda using it like an impromptu Stream Deck (lol). All around fun to use as intended and also find cool ways to utilize it when I’m not gaming on it.

Well yeah it pisses them off because they’re here to read people talk about their experiences and give opinions, not for someone to paste ChatGPT output. If they wanted that they could’ve just used ChatGPT themselves.

It seems like you’re well aware people are annoyed by it but do it anyways. Why?

Did you reinstall SteamOS or just clone it to the new SSD? I’ve seen people say if you don’t reinstall the OS properly when upgrading it can cause some issues but I’m not sure if those situations apply to what’s happening here
