Ok I missed that news story.

So I get Texas and Utah, why is Montana using so many VPNs?

It's probably possible, I know Bazzite has working steam deck plugins so it's possible to get Decky plugins working on non-steamOS distros.

However the easiest way for SteamGridDB specifically is to use Boop, which is a tool they make for changing artwork on windows and Linux desktops.

I'm not sure the steam deck even could ship with Heroic if they wanted. While epic should like the idea of valve making it easier to play egs games, Heroic is still a tool meant to bypass their product to play their games.

As an open source community project it's fine, but Epic might not take it well if their biggest rival started advertising support for their game store through a non-epic launcher.

Pretty much all of those have been issues with regular steamOS at different points. I have to toggle bt on and off for some of my controllers to connect, but I've learned that other people have been forgetting and repairing to fix the same issue. The HDMI issue was a problem some months back, but has been fixed (at least on the beta update channel). The recent steam client beta was causing crashes with some plugins, and the newly released bt wake control was one of them.

I don't know exactly how long you were using Bazzite, but it's possible that all the issues you've run into were upstream issues that made their way to Bazzite unfortunately.

If you don't mind sharing, what kind of issues did you run into with Bazzite? I've been considering switching for awhile.

You either need the company to commit to making software for it even when hardware sales are lacking (Wii U is a decent example, had really good Nintendo made games despite bad sales), or be a company with such a dedicated fan base that they'll buy your product regardless of if the software support is there or not (Apple for example).

Reminder that while JSAUX makes good accessories, it's recommended to buy their products from Amazon or another store, and not actually use their web site.

Email addresses and possible other information used on the JSAUX website were sold to advertisers and other companies. It's not clear if JSAUX is selling the info, if they had a data breach, or something else because JSAUX refused to explain. They make enough good and unique Deck accessories that I won't discourage people from buying their products, but it's best to avoid their website even if they have a good sale going on.

I got this Ivoler dock and have been really happy with it. I paired it with a 65w Chromebook charger to cover the deck's 45w max draw and anything else I plug in.

It works well, is cheap, and it has a slightly wider base so you can use a protective case on your deck and it will still fit in the dock.

Only downside is this specific one doesn't have an Ethernet port, but they have a nicer version that does.

I hadn't really even considered that apple wouldn't be working on their own LLM. Seems like everyone is making their own LLM these days.

Honestly, I hadn't really considered that apple wasn't working on some kind of LLM like everyone else.

Remembering app names is a must. Generally jumping straight to the right letter will let me open the right app with one click, it's only my "S" named apps that have enough apps to require additional any notable scrolling after jumping to the letter (I have 24 apps starting with S, and my screen only shows 15 apps max at once in the Niagara app list).

For all my most used apps, I put them in folders on the Niagara home screen for quick access. I also do this for apps like games where I want to view multiple options at once to decide between them. Anything I'm not accessing often needs some searching to find anyways.
