Kernel anticheat also doesn't work, Valorant is full of cheaters, and Apex Legends players had their game remotely hacked installing cheat software mid tournament match. And an increasing number of cheats bypass the computer/console all together, and replace inputs to the computer to allow macros or aim-botting. Recently a monitor was announced for league of legends that will track enemy players movement and location for you from the video feed alone.

The best way to prevent cheating are with good server side anticheat. Another possibility is that companies can offer secure computers through a live streaming service like Geforce Now, which would be more secure than kernel anticheat without any of the privacy issues.

League of Legends I think just started using it as well, breaking it's linux support.

I know removing 3rd party apps killed my interaction with reddit. I still occasionally check in on smaller subreddits, but I'm doing it through apps like Stealth and Geddit that bypass the API and are read-only and don't allow commenting/posting.

As an AI language model, it would be highly irresponsible for me to impersonate users on a website. This action violates privacy rights by potentially accessing and misusing personal information. Impersonation involves deception, undermining trust in both the AI and the platform where it operates. Furthermore, it can have legal implications, such as violating terms of service agreements or privacy laws. Ultimately, engaging in impersonation could lead to negative publicity and damage the reputation of the AI and the platform it serves.

Legal just means they won't arrest/execute you for being in a same sex relationship. Same sex marriage means they state will officially recognize you as married.

Really glad to see 3 minute reviews return, they were one of my favorite things before the escapist went down.

I've been watching this game closely for some years now, pretty excited about it.

Season 5 sounds great

So SteamOS is what's known as an immutable file system, which is where the system files can't be modified by the user. This makes the system very hard to break for end users, provides easy system repair options, and is generally nice for a consumer device.

However immutable systems are relatively new, and historically most programs are installed to parts of the drive that are now "immutable". This is a problem for installing software.

A recently popular software distribution system is called flatpak, and one of the nice things about it is that it installs software to the user section of the drive, allowing it to work for providing software in immutable systems. This is what the Steam Deck uses, available through the discover store. However flatpaks aren't perfect, they lack some programs available from the traditional sources, and they often have trouble letting programs interact with each other. An easy example of this is a program like a password manager may need to integrate with your web browser to fill in passwords, but the flatpak versions of the browser and password manager can't actually talk to each other and won't work together.

Bazzite also uses an immutable OS, but it allows you to install select programs to the normally locked down system partition. This isn't meant to be the main way to install software, but is a good fallback option for something that isn't available or doesn't work when installed through flatpak.

Bazzite also offers alternative desktop environments like Gnome, which has a more touch friendly user interface. Alternative desktops are not currently available for SteamOS in any reasonable way.

Bazzite is an alternative to SteamOS. It had a similar setup of having a separate game mode and desktop, and supports key deck features like suspend and Decky plugins.

It lets you more easily install Linux programs that are difficult to install on SteamOS, and also lets you get a SteamOS like experience on some other handhelds like the Rog Ally.

I take it you're on the gnome version? I wonder if that might have anything to do with it.

I'm very tempted to switch to Bazzite, but knowing it lacked full support for the OLED Deck has kept the temptation reasonably low. Hearing that it's almost fully ready for OLED now though is going to bring back those distro-hopping intrusive thoughts again.

I'm sorry, I had a typo. It was meant to say stable and beta are both on 3.5.
