  • How important is a DE to you?

    Jump

  • I’m also trying to enjoy KDE as everyone is praising it and Gnome lacks a tiny bit of customization.

    But I really prefer Gnome and feel really different than everyone on Lemmy.

    So yeah a DE is more important than the distro to me.

  • Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?

    Jump

  • Apparently a lot of games don’t have DRMs on Steam. The only thing missing is a badge indicating this.

    So at least you own these..

  • XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Review and Retrospective- Is It Worth It In 2025?

    Jump

  • Yeah the two last games are really great and I enjoyed them so much on Steam Deck.

  • What's the best Linux GPU?

    Jump

  • Well from what I saw in Gardiner’s review of the video, Linus was encouraging people to use Linux.

  • Sony is Quietly Suggesting PS4 Players Upgrade to PS5 Consoles

    Jump

  • Both console faming and PC gaming have their advantages.

    As an adult, I feel like I wouldb’t really need a console anymore.

    With kids, I feel like it makes my life easier if they can just play on the Playstation under supervision.

  • Sony is Quietly Suggesting PS4 Players Upgrade to PS5 Consoles

    Jump

  • Steam and its ecosystem are great but they haven’t reached the same level of user friendliness a Playstation has.

    Of course it gives you more freedom and a PC lets you do so many things a console doesn’t.

    The Steam Deck, while being probably the most user friendly PC you can get, has made me encounter problems I haven’t met on consoles related to inputs, scaling, display or other stuff.

    For now, I’m happy with a Playstation 5 and the Steam Deck even if I probably will fully switch to Linux gaming in the future once my son is old enough to safely use a PC.

  • Sony is Quietly Suggesting PS4 Players Upgrade to PS5 Consoles

    Jump

  • As much as I love my Linux workstations and my Steam Deck, nothing beats the simplicity of my Playstation 5 when my son wants to play a game or I want to play something too demanding for the Deck.

    With a console you have nothing to set up and you have an unbeaten simplicity.

    Maybe the Steam Machine will challenge this, but I think people are often forgetting how good consoles are despite costing a bit more than in the past.

    Also don’t forget about physical games that you can resell if necessary.

    Apple’s M3 Silicon Surrenders to Linux: A Technical Milestone for Open Source

    Jump

  • Well there is something kind of exciting about running Linux on Apple or Surface hardware once it gets really cheap and isn’t supported anymore.

    Of course, if you buy it new, it’s different.

    For me, it’s either I get Linux friendly new stuff or dirt cheap Apple/Surface hardware in second/third hand..

    Apple’s M3 Silicon Surrenders to Linux: A Technical Milestone for Open Source

    Jump

  • Well for me it’s good news for when these devices won’t be supported by Apple anymore and they’ll become really cheap.

    Although the fact that most of the parts aren’t replaceable is also a problem in that case..

  • Mass Effect is one of the greatest games ever and EA makes good games

    Jump

  • Oh yes you’re right, but then let’s say that a lot of great games were published by EA.

  • Mass Effect is one of the greatest games ever and EA makes good games

    Jump

  • Oh yeah I forgot this one. I enjoyed it too.

  • Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)

    Jump

  • Having one launcher isn’t a problem for me. Steam’s OS’s launcher even allows me to launch GOG games through Heroic without even really launching Heroic.

    Where it starts being a problem is when individual games need their own launcher..

    I see the launcher as the system menu in a console..

  • Mouse Clicks not registering in desktop mode

    Jump

  • I don’t know about clicking, except that with the trackpads I struggle to click correctly, but I think my Steam Deck always restarted in game mode.

    I’d have to check again though..

  • Reports of ad-supported Xbox game streams show Microsoft's lack of imagination

    Jump

  • Well they are based in my city and they’ve been around for 30 years.

    They use their datacenters to heat buildings and seem to have good ethos.

    I’ve been using kdrive for 5 years and I can only complain about the lack of Flatpak (Appimage for Linux) and the fact that they don’t have an alternative to something like Google Photos.

    Of course I can’t guarantee they’ll stay like this, but they’re really not a startup

  • The sorry state of saving (mostly a rant)

    Jump

  • While I share your grippes, I would want to add two different ones:

    -Auto saves are great, but not when the game doesn’t allow you to restart a level.

    For instance, late in Metro 2033, I had almost no more air to go further. I was lucky enough to just have enough to keep going. Had it not been the case, I’d have probably had to start the game from scratch again as you can’t just restart a level or load a previous « safe » save

    -Cross platform saves and achievements

    My gaming PC is a Steam Deck, so it doesn’t have much power. That’s why I still buy my demanding games on Playstation 5 with the intent of getting them on Linux in the future. I fully understand, why I’d need to rebuy a copy of these games to play them on PC, but I don’t understand why it’s not possible to share a save between different systems. Same for the linked achievements.

  • Sometimes, my computer is very slow and sometimes really fast. Fedora 43.

    Jump

  • Thanks!

  • Advice for a Mac user switching to Linux?

    Jump

  • It worked perfectly out of the box with Fedora on a MacBook Pro 2012.

    But I guess every MacBook generation has its little problems with Linux.

    Mine is with the wifi going away once a year..

  • Advice for a Mac user switching to Linux?

    Jump

  • I think you just have to make the jump and install a distro on your computer while accepting that it’s not because you don’t like the first distro that all of them are the same.

    Once the first step is done and your old OS isn’t around anymore, you’ll be forced to find something suited to your needs.

    Do you plan on installing Linux on your Mac? If it’s Intel based it’s easy, but if it’s an M model your choices are more restricted..
