I tried both (and a bunch of other options) when Nova broke from an update. They were my two favorites, but ultimately I found I prefer Niagara's navigation I think.
I agree with the others that you would likely be better off modifying KDE to suit your needs.
If you do want to install pacman packages and have them persist between updates, you could try rwfus which makes an RW overlay that lets you install packages. There are some catches though, mostly you can't update using pacman -Syu and you can't install glibc.
There's another way to install packages, where you create a temporary folder, download the package there, and then install it in your home directory instead to keep it between updates. I don't have a guide for it, but I do have an example of using it to install the package fakeroot. You'll have to set pacman up first, but then instead of doing a normal pacman install you do the following:
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
sudo pacman --cachedir /tmp -Sw --noconfirm fakeroot
tar -xf /tmp/fakeroot-*.pkg.tar.zst -C ~/.local --strip-components=1 usr/bin usr/lib
sudo rm -f /tmp/fakeroot*.pkg.*
Swap out "fakeroot" for the package name you're trying to install and it should work.
I love that something like this couldn't be dealt with by just telling soldiers not to do it, but that they instead had to modify the bayonet design. "Our soldiers are going to do this now that we know it's possible, so we need to redesign things".
I set mine up on arch. There's an aur package, but it didn't work for me.
After some failed attempts, I ended up having success following this guide.
Some parts are out of date though, so if it fails to install something you'll need to have it target a newer available package. Main example of this is inside the webui-user.sh file, it tells you to replace an existing line with export TORCH_COMMAND="pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.1.1". This will fail because that version of pytorch is no longer available. So instead you need to replace the download URL with an up to date one from the pytorch website. They've also slightly changed the layout of the file. Right now the correct edit should be to find the # install command for torch line and change the command under it to:
pip install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/rocm5.7
You may need to swap pip to pip3 too, if you get a pip error. Overall it takes some troubleshooting, look at any errors you get and see if it's calling for a package you don't have or anything like that.
Yeah I definitely feel that. As a parent with multiple kids, the suspend/resume of the deck is it's best feature.
Yeah, I'm curious about that as well. Makes me wonder if a lot of Steam Deck owners don't own other gaming PCs, or if they just value portability/etc over graphics and framerate.
Yes, Deck Verified basically means it should run on deck as if it were designed for it specifically. It should be comparable to how well a console game runs on its target console.
We've come a long way, games on Linux used to require a lot of research to see if they would work. Now, except for some multiplayer games, I just buy games and assume they'll work
I'm not surprised that a for-profit company for wanting to avoid bad press by censoring stuff like that. There's no profit in sharing that info, and any media attention over it would be negative.
I have to use Edge on one of the work computers, and after a recent update it changed my search engine from startpage.com to bing, and informed me with a small pop-up by the search bar that they were changing my search engine for my protection because I might have accidentally set it to something other than their recommended bing.
11-Year-Old Boy Hears For the First Time as Scientists Get Closer to Finding a Cure for Hearing Loss
Here's an article talking about it
Quote:
The controversy is sometimes difficult for hearing people to understand. Hearing people often assume that Deaf people would naturally want to take advantage of any method that could lead them to become part of the hearing world — especially cochlear implants, the most advanced hearing technology we have. In reality, that assumption is far from true. To members of Deaf culture, American Sign Language is a cultural cornerstone. Because Deaf children who receive cochlear implants at a young age will likely be educated in the oralist method, they are less likely to learn ASL during their early years, which are the most critical years of language acquisition. For some Deaf parents, that would result in a child who speaks a different language than they do.
The article covers a lot more than that, so I recommend reading it to get the full picture.
It's the floating action button in the bottom right. You can enable it in settings, and have a tap on it or swipe on it bound to two different apps or shortcuts. A shortcut I use it for is to open a new web browser tab to do searches.
