I have! It was great as well. I think it’s my favorite original romhack so far. I’m planning on playing Insurgence next, although that’s a fan-game as opposed to real romhack.

Radical Red and Polished Crystal are peak, in my opinion. I can’t go back to the lack of special/physical split, it’s just awful.

One of my company’s customers is a DoD contractor that uses the government version of Teams, which does require Chromium, unfortunately. Or at least, I haven’t found a way to make it work on Firefox yet.

I’m one of those weirdos who actually dumps all my own games with my own modded launch Switch mainly for preservation purposes.

But then TotK came out and performed so poorly on the console itself, I exported my save to play on PC and Steam Deck. Every part of my Switch emulation journey has been legal and by-the-book: dumped my own firmware, my own keys, and my own games.

Fuck Nintendo for bullying these developers.

The Twitter thread says that the website with the linked keys is a fake imposter site. Not sure how true that is, but if so, that’s fucked.

So that file can go anywhere you want, but ~/bin is a good spot (or ~/.bin if you like a tidy home folder). You can name it whatever you want, but I’d personally name it steam.sh. And then in the Buddy settings, use that file as your new Steam binary.

What issues are you having? I may be able to help.

There’s a host app that runs on the host machine alongside Sunshine that reads your Steam library, and the Deck plugin adds an icon on each game’s banner on your Deck. When you click the icon, the plugin communicates with the host app and then automatically starts a Moonlight/Sunshine session that then starts up the game you were on. You only have to add one “app” to Sunshine and set up the MoonDeckBuddy app on the host, and then you have streaming for your entire library available.

I disagree, it’s a statement of fact. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that fact that you’re lazy about fiddling with computers. I’m lazy about certain things in my own life.

But it’s pointless trying to convert lazy people to Linux when it requires an effort level above 0 and they don’t want to put in anymore than that.

Cool, you’re lazy, gotcha.

No, I literally had to add one change to the game launch properties one time. It took me probably 3 minutes of googling and following instructions. I wouldn’t call that “a bunch of fucking shit”.

Cool, me too.

Helldivers 2 works almost perfectly on Linux. I had to nest it in a gamescope session to fix some weird mouse issues, but that was it. I dual-boot Windows and I’ve never even launched it there.

I mean. I can’t because I defederated from Threads. But neat, I guess.

That’s fair if you go into desktop mode a lot.

It’s still usable, for sure. The Bazzite team back ported the WiFi and BT patches, so those function. But if you rely on reducing refresh rate to save battery like I do, that can be a big one.

The audio issue isn’t too big of a deal, you just have to do a full reboot to go back into game mode. Just takes a few extra seconds.

But if you already have an LCD, I see the wisdom in waiting for the team to iron out OLED support.

Mainline is also missing some OLED patches around changing the panel refresh rate and audio cutting out when switching from desktop back to game mode, last I recall. Those are the issues holding me back from installing Bazzite on my OLED.

On one hand cool, but on the other, just use Bazzite.

I could go in-depth, but really, the best way I can describe my docker usage is as a simple and agnostic service manager. Let me explain.

Docker is a container system. A container is essentially an operating system installation in a box. It’s not really a full installation, but it’s close enough that understanding it like that is fine.

So what the service devs do is build a container (operating system image) with their service and all the required dependencies - and essentially nothing else (in order to keep the image as small as possible). A user can then use Docker to run this image on their system and have a running service in just a few terminal commands. It works the same across all distributions. So I can install whatever distro I need on the server for whatever purpose and not have to worry that it won’t run my Docker services. This also means I can test services locally on my desktop without messing with my server environment. If it works on my local Docker, it will work on my server Docker.

There are a lot of other uses for it, like isolated development environments and testing applications using other Linux distro libraries, to name a couple, but again, I personally mostly just use it as a simple service manager.

tldr + eli5 - App devs said “works on my machine”, so Docker lets them ship their machine.

KotOR’s console controls can be a bit awkward at times. I haven’t played it on Switch, but I originally played it when it released on the OG Xbox. I assume the control scheme is similar. And the graphics are going to be dated, but that’s a given for a game from '03. But other than that, I’m sure it’ll be a fantastic experience, especially for a die-hard Star Wars fan. It’s still my top game of all time, and if you can play it on PC with some graphical enhancement mods, it still holds up really well nowadays.
