Kongar

I agree that’s what it sounds like. Except I haven’t updated anything - or if something did update - it happened on its own.

That was a damn good game too. I had the urge to play factorio again, but decided to try something new. Thus satisfactory. So far not disappointed.

Satisfactory-I’m hooked hard.

Obligatory “learn to use your computer and install another OS” post. You’ll probably find that your computer becomes MORE useful, not less.

I’m out of the loop. Why not virtualbox?

I’ve been a fan of Nintendo since the nes days. But their anti consumer behavior is too much. I haven’t bought anything from them in years, and I don’t think I ever will again.

Another vote for fedora here.

I use regular workstation. I like gnome so that fits. And I found when I set up arch exactly the way I liked, I was just recreating the fedora experience ;)

It’s not bleeding edge but I don’t think anyone really needs that unless you just bought a brand new vid card or mobo etc. If your components are common and 6mo+ old fedora is new enough.

I really don’t have issues with it. It seems to have become the new Ubuntu (install it and it just works).

Openrgb is what you want. It’s tricky to figure out though. It’s not just going to recognize the device and poof magic. You’ll have to fiddle with HOW it’s connected - through your rgb header, bios settings, separate controller etc. Once it’s recognized, you may have to play with the settings for how many lights it has etc.

When I first used it, it thought it didn’t do anything. Then I learned and got it to do everything.

I enjoyed the difficulty of hollow knight. It was tough as nails in spots but I felt fair. I also dug the art/music/atmosphere. It was just unique enough yet familiar.

Yes I’m a big fan obviously.

I read what sounded like an intelligent follow-up on this subject. But I’m not smart enough to verify for myself, so I still refrain from using ventoy - even though I’d love to start using it again.

It was basically “wacky code from all over the place, poor coding practices, can’t find anything bad, but methods used are sus af”

Says one dude I read on the internet :/

I will try it! Never heard of it. I also hate the markdown nonsense.

It’s super easy on the steam deck. You don’t need to know Linux. You boot into desktop mode, open Firefox, install emudeck by clicking on a link. Then you configure in there a bit and download roms - all pretty straightforward and easy. A noob can do it in a couple of hours.

Now that said - the steam deck is hit or miss emulating switch games. Most games work awesome. But not every game. It’s not clear to me if the hardware is a little too slow for emulation overhead, or if it’s more an issue between the emulator and the game. My take is it’s a bit of both.

Someone else will have to comment on modding the switch as I haven’t done that, but I bet once modded, it plays every game 100% fine.

Assuming my prior paragraph is true: if the ONLY thing you want to do is switch games - then I’d skip the steam deck. If you want to do OTHER things as well (snes, nes, all other older consoles, actual pc games that play on steam deck) then ya, steam deck all the way. Make sense?
