As someone that lives in a small city where my morning commute is 15 minutes, and 20 on the way home, this is fucking insane to me. 70 minutes is 3/4 of the way to the next town at highway speeds.

Edit: To add to that, I work four 10s rather than five 8s a week. If I had to drive that long every day for work, I’d only have about an hour and a half - 2 hours to relax before it’s time for bed if I want 8 hours of sleep.

I agree, I’m quite happy with Bazzite so far!

For now, I’m going to stick to Steam games on Linux since I still have a 2TB Windows drive for my main games. My plan is to use Bazzite to get a feel for Linux and eventually move completely over from Windows once I’m more comfortable with the OS and know how to get everything I want up and running. I’m honestly having fun with being new to an OS with more options, I haven’t had to google such seemingly basic tasks for a computer since I was a kid.

I’m using the KDE version of Bazzite and I’m really liking it. It reminds me of being a kid and exploring Windows 98 for the first time, everything is new and interesting, and searching through the menus to see all the different options brings back a certain nostalgia.

I’d like to ask a few questions if anyone is willing to help me out :)

My mouse is a Logitech G502 X+ and I don’t know what software to use to configure my mouse in Bazzite, what’s the Linux replacement for Logitech GHub? My mouse works perfectly but I don’t know what to use to customize the DPI for example.

What’s the best practice for installing apps or programs outside of the built in “app store”? For example, I downloaded the Plex media server app as a .RPM file but I’m not quite sure how to install it. I already installed the Plex app through Bazzite OS’ default app store, but in Windows I needed the Plex media server app to be able to serve up videos to other people as far as I know. Makes me feel dumb, but I’m used to .EXE’s where it just installs itself. What do I do with a .RPM file? Or any other Linux programs downloaded from a website, like (I think?) tar.bz etc? I know how to access the files and extract them, but I’m not sure where to put the programs in general.

Thanks for your useful information btw! It’s much appreciated!

I just installed bazzite on my 2nd SSD last night, haven’t used it much yet but I’m looking forward to customising it to my liking and getting a feel for the OS. First time using Linux since 2014 when I dabbled in Ubuntu and mint for a while.

Any tips for a computer literate but relative newbie to bazzite(Linux in general really)? My pc is pretty much exclusively a gaming pc so thats my only real concern. About to download some games from my steam library to see how things go.

Ten forward is a good example, the big posters in c/risa got fed up with the mods and made ten forward on Lemmy.world. Now I almost never see risa anymore but ten forward is always on the front page.

Because there are people like me that can’t stand tank controls. Scream at me till you’re blue in the face about how I’ll “get used to it” or I just need to “git gud” etc and nothing will change my mind. Fuck tank controls.

I’d kill to play this game in the same style as the modern RE remakes, the OG will always be there for you to play if you don’t like the remake.

Completely unacceptable

Go back to hexbear tankie trash

Nuka cola quantum when?

“I don’t enjoy killing, but when done righteously, it’s just a chore, like any other.”

I’ve made it close to the end of Witcher 3 and loved every minute of it, I just got obsessed with factorio at the time and kinda stopped playing lol. Completely agree that the story is absolutely amazing in that game, the characters are awesome and even side quest stories are very well done, let alone the main quest stories.

Automata is better than that IMO and that’s not a slight against Witcher, Nier is just that good when it comes to the story.

It ran at a steady 60 FPS / 1080p / ultra settings for me on my ancient GTX 970 / i7 4790k when I first played it so the steam deck should be more than enough to play the game.

Nier Automata has, IMO, the best story to exist in game format. Gameplay itself isn’t anything special but it’s fun enough to keep you engaged, but the story is the real reason to play this game.

Can’t recommend this game enough.

I have a steam library of over 100 games and I’ve been exclusively gaming on PC since 2014. I can count the amount of times I’ve had trouble playing a game on one hand since then. If you’re refunding half the games you get then your PC is fucked and you’re doing something wrong.

I’ve also never had to troubleshoot anything but modded games which is to be expected. PC gaming is easier than ever these days.

That said I fully get why so many people prefer consoles but don’t spread bullshit cause you suck at using a PC buddy.

Intel’s been pretty good about VRAM tbh, having a 16GB A770 for a decent price is hopefully a good sign. It’s one of the few ways both Intel and AMD can compete with Nvidia since they’re infamously stingy with VRAM to encourage buying higher tier cards.

Hey I like your username buddy it’s pretty cool

Yup agreed completely. Back in the early 2010s, when we went from 1GHz single core CPUs to 1.2GHz dual core CPUs while doubling the RAM, things were a lot more interesting cause you could actually feel the speed improvements between generations.

These days even a budget phone is gonna be more than enough for browsing your social media of choice, texting, calling and doing the basics which is all I need my phone to do. I’m planning on keeping my Pixel 6 until it either can’t hold a charge for long enough or it gets to slow for my liking, whichever comes first.

While my wallet is glad I don’t feel the need to upgrade so often, I do miss actually getting excited about the next generation of phones and looking forward to my next upgrade so I could marvel at the generational improvements.
