30y/o with chronic fibro here too, the OG deck is nice but thinking about getting the OLED because it’s lighter, I use mine primarily for playing OSRS or Elden ring. Also lots of hockey!

Do you find it’s too heavy for long periods of time?

Nope, I usually pay the Mullvad tax :)

It’s nice, low effort now it’s setup! Just messing around with firewalling :)

MANGOHUD comes with steamOS so you just pass those flags to launcher options, it should work, if you want to see the HUD just remove ,nodisplay=0

It’s a nice and clean Linux distro, Alpine is great for being lean and you can get around any portential glibc problems with flatpak/chroots/virtualisation if you don’t mind, also aports (the build system) it’s pretty straightforward. the package repositories are decent and flatpak does the rest I find.

I’ve run it as a general purpose fix-it drive for a long time but it’s good for servers or routers, or decent enough on a laptop/desktop, it’s more of a hands-on approach than most other distros so I’ll find myself on the Gentoo or Arch wikis a bit of the time.

It has it’s quirks like any distro but it’s very nice once you’re used to how it works, it generally avoids complexity. I like it in that regard.

Try using mangohud to cap it, I set it at 35fps cap running on high/med settings with something like MANGOHUD=1 MAHGOHUD_OPTIONS=fps_limit=35,nodisplay=0

Make sure to disable the steam frame limiter and allow tearing (helps with input).

Yeah, it’s been quite a bit of guess work. Gtk/Kvantum themes are both Nordic-dark, then with the right gtk settings everywhere and compiling a few bits (cursors, Xsettingsd) and installing all the flatpak portals, with the right variables as well as all the Kvantum flatpak runtimes it works consistently across GTK/Qt/XWayland apps, including the cursor.

All my installed packages are also there under doc/apkovl. I installed my cursor/gtk themes to /usr/share as I compiled them but I’m sure they’d work in /home.

I’ve been stuck to it for years, used to it at this point!

Thanks yep it was a btt of a pain getting uniform theming up between GTK, Kvantum and Xsettingsd it seems to work nice :)

UBO is basically a necessity for the web at this point

Noble savage vibes

As someone who has been homeless for nearly the past year, with all the trauma associated… Fuck this guy. Fuck the tories, criminal scum. If there is a God I hope they get a fast-track ticket to hell.
