3·3 days agoI was also in your position.
Tried to use lutris a few years back and got spooked. I tried lutris again this year and the process seems to be more streamlined. I just tried installing an ancient game from an ISO and lutris asked me “are you trying to install game A? Then we will apply the patches for game A”. It was all automatic.

Yes, the small particles hurt like hell like low power bee stings…or so I have been told
The Chromium base, which is what Steam is built upon, itself isn’t supported on Win 7,8. Can Valve work upon it to make it backwards compatible? Maybe. Will it be a pain in the ass to maintain? Absolutely.
Also, if you don’t want to upgrade to Win11, you can make a 2nd partition for Linux and enjoy your games.

That’s a gross over-simplification
They have to
- Download the windows ISO
- How do you find the original ISO and not a cracked one?
- Get instructions to modify the ISO
- Hope you get the right set of instructions from a genuine website
- Download Rufus and install
- Make backup of their data
- Hope you disabled Bitlocker also
- Reboot and press the F? key to change boot order (F? varies from system to system)
- How do you even find the right key for this?
- Follow the installation process
One of the reasons Linux is not widespread is because following these “simple” instructions is too much for an average user. So I doubt a Windows user will be bothered to modify their OS. I have installed different variants of Linux 100s of time and even I need to check online if their are any hidden gotchas.
- Download the windows ISO
but if you install it right
Basically eliminates the vast majority of people who don’t have the technical knowledge to deal with Rufus
2·9 days agoIMO the only advantages the ROG Ally has over the Steam Deck OLED are
- VRR with 120 Hz
- Anti-cheat support
- Slightly more powerful chip
In every other way, the Steam Deck is superior (interface polish, battery life, HDR, touchpad).
It’s possible I have to RTFM.
I checked the Bazzite documentation for the Ally and it says SimpleDeckyTDP provides more features than HHD so I didn’t experiment with it at all. I prefer using the Decky plugin mainly because it fits with the Bazzite theme better :P
Hi, you’re absolutely correct and sorry for being unclear.
I mean precise TDP control (16W or 17W) and custom fan curves. I’ve used HHD, it’s also good. Most people simple switch between power saving / balanced / performance but wanted to go down further to extract a little more juice out of the device.
SimpleDeckyTDP is a bit tricky (open desktop mode - open terminal - paste command) to install but offers more customisation.
If I had to a host a HTPC, it would be with Docker as it’s a more reliable way to maintain a service.
You’re welcome!
I have been very particular in this review about the experience of using Windows compared to Bazzite, not the performance. I’ve seen many reviews talk about how one is offere 5-10 FPS more than the other OS but you really don’t notice that most of the time.
Windows can do everything that Linux can do on average but the experience is vastly different. That is what I’m trying to say in this post.
I would be happy if they just made sure it works with Proton. We would be seeing serious Linux native games when we have a 20-30% market share anyway.

How do you activate Arch Premium? I got that stupid “Activate” overlay on my desktop.

7·18 days agoThe people from Heroic are already working on this.
The talk gives a brief overview on what they’ve been working on like UWP/WinRT in Wine, Comet for GOG multiplayer features and more. But Lidwin also does a quick little sneak peek intro on a new project called Maxima Launcher, an open source replacement for EA Desktop / Origin that will eventually get Heroic integration too.
What kind of use-cases was it, where you didn’t find suitable local models to work with ?
Any time you ask very domain specific questions; eg “i have collected some soil samples from the mesolithic age near the Amazon basin which have high sulfur and phosphorus content compared to my other samples. What factors could contribute to this distribution?”, both of-the-shelf local models & OpenAI fail.
The main reason is because these models are not trained on highly-specialized domains of text. Sometimes the models start hallucinating and which reduces our trust upon them.
Nobody is saying Valve is perfect. But the other companies just sucks much harder
Game mode is way better than big picture because
