You can play it at "accurately model the thermal vibration of molecules" framerates.

What's even funnier is "14.39% of players have gotten this far before uninstalling the game and forgetting about it forever"

When somebody tells you "fuck off, I don't want your business", believe them.

My solution is "have a large game collection, and move on to the next game". The odd bad game will likely get better in a future version of Wine. Proton 9-something even picked up support for some of the fussier Japanese VNs (but not well enough for IMHHW, alas).

I probably have the same Envy as you. It is just an unreliable piece of shit. Open it up and see if it is full of little metal chips, which is how HP "deburrs" the holes on the bottom metal plate.

In a visual novel, as another "advance text" button. In Crosscode, I have the "switch elements" arrow keys on the back buttons (you need to flip it on the fly a lot). In some games, I'll put the B-button action on R4 (particularly when it's a dodge-roll). If a game needs a random keyboard key out of the blue, I'll bind it on a paddle.

How lightweight do you really need to go? I have a Lenovo "barely worth calling a chromebook" with 4GB/64GB/2 core N4000. It's fine with Gnome on Bookworm.

Snapper has a hook in apt so that it fires a snapshot whenever you do package things. It must have the same for other packaging systems.

I think it would come down within an entire SteamOS update. Valve should give it some time in Testing before they push it to everybody in Stable. But they have been known to yolo some really wonky builds on a Friday afternoon and leave your Deck broken all weekend.

Yeah, an intel N95 puck will absolutely demolish any Pi. By the time you add a case, a drive, a stable power brick, enough memory, a cooler, you're at the same price. With a PC, you're getting an NVME drive (2 pcie3.0 lanes because Intel can't let it eat the i3 market) @ 800MB/s. With a Pi, you are living off of a microSD card running at 50MB/s (and that craters with any writing or seeking).

I would gander that a "gaming distro" is more aggressive at chasing the latest video drivers, stability be damned.
