Trackpads cost "money", and besides you already have a touchscreen.

The thing that really makes me jealous is the Freesync panel. The secret to getting a battery-powered GPU to keep up with the screen is to stop making it keep up with the screen.

When Heroic adds a game to Steam, it's actually telling Steam to run heroic with a game://gameid argument. So, any such game is already running under the "heroic environment". Running the Steam entry for the game shouldn't be much different from running Heroic and then picking the game from Heroic's list.

I think the thing you really needed was to just give the game one good run in Desktop mode. A lot of times, games use their first (successful) run to install various runtimes, and those installers need to make pop up windows (which Game Mode is not very good at). Running Heroic in Desktop mode to install the game, and doing your first run in Desktop mode is usually enough, and you can run the game just fine in Game mode after that.

Actually, I don't think anything works at Nexusmods. What a shite site.

Ah, they are just having an outage. Maybe the files will exist at some later date.

The link doesn't work, but I might be using the same mod as seen in Steam Community? I has no idea about it having presets, thought it was one-and-done.

Why doesn't anybody bother with tailoring a Windows distro like this?

It's worse than that. MS could quickly turn the boat around. They have the cash. They have the manpower (well, have recently fired). The only thing they don't have is THE ABILITY TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING BUT AI AI AI AI GOTTA HAVE AI AIIIIIIII. The brainrot has eaten Nadella, and eaten the whole board.

Lol. I was kinda hoping that $80, and "made by the same vendor", and "made by a reputable company" would get me a dock that works better than a $20 SIXLTR off of Amazon.

I think you're a bit better off with SteamOS's gamescope rather than going through gnome-shell.

The Deck update is great so far, but the Dock update is not. I couldn't get any video on DP until I rolled the dock firmware back.

Still too much room for the bladder

Wait, that's not a cat...

Little pro-tip - I got a Corsair drive and tried putting it in external enclosure to copy to it, that didn't work.

These small Nvme drives are dram-less, so they borrow some memory from the host system. All of these drives have a fallback mode when they can't borrow host memory, which is slower. Apparently, the fallback mode is so well programmed that drive can crash during large write sessions.

It worked just fine once I put the new drive inside the Deck, and pulled data from the old drive sitting in the enclosure instead.
