With all these extensions I managed to create my perfect workflow.

You just need to not update to the new Fedora as soon as it’s out as some of these need maybe a month to keep update.

The only good side is that people are gonna replace their machines less often and that developpers might look at making games playable on less powerful hardware.

The gamers who are really in trouble are the ones without a PC, a console or whatever yet. Or the ones with hardware on the verge of failing…

I think it can have benefits for the gaming industry in a way.

In such difficult times, people are still getting rid of perfectly working PC because these don’t have the requirements for Windows 11.

My company gets us a new iPhone every 3 years when we could keep them for way longer.

All of this can be good for Linux and optimisation, even if the situation is clearly not ideal.

I play some games docked like strategy games (on the computer screen) or family games (on the family TV) and it works fine.

Where it would be problematic is if I also played these games in handheld mode as I would have to change quite a few settings.

It would be nice if the Deck could switch between docked mode (using more power with better FPS/resolution) and handheld mode automatically.

In a way you can do this by switching between the game profile/general profile, but it’s just a workaround.

Agreed.

I enjoy PopOS, but you can see that quite a few things have to be solved for it to be perfectly daily driveable.

For now I only use it on my HTPC as it just has to start Kodi and let it do its thing.

Gosh, thanks it worked! I already had the application, but the Fedora version (also a Flatpak) instead of the Flathub one.

It even worked in PopOS. Just installing this image viewer instead of the system one, allowed me to open HEIC pictures in the file explorer and in Kodi.

Now the only thing I can’t do is change the default image viewer. Even uninstalling the system one doesn’t allow me to do it, but I guess it’s because Cosmic is clearly “work in progress”. Huge thanks!

Yes I know but it would be nice to be able to know directly from Steam if a game is DRM Free or not.

Since the 6-7 extensions I use can be slow to upgrade to the next version, I’m also trying to wait around a month before upgrading to the next Gnome version.

But sometimes I ain’t wise enough to wait😅

Steam is great and I love what they’re bringing.

Still I’m trying to buy 50% of my games on GOG because no monopoly is good and Steam still has DRM’s and no real transparency about it.

I run Fedora Workstation on a 2012 MacBook Pro and enabling rpm fusion to get the Broadcom drivers was enough.

I had to repeat the operation once or twice in 3-4 years but otherwise it’s been smooth sailing.

I haven’t tried sleep mode though as I always turn off the computer.

I’ve been a happy OnlyOffice user for a while now.

However, if the people behind are crap, I wouldn’t mind moving to something else.

I’d only want it to work easily with kDrive (cloud storage) and also be able to do light work on my iPhone.

Do you know if this could be done with one of its alternatives?

800$ would be my soft limit as I already have a Steam Deck and a Playstation 5.

1000$ with two controllers would be my hard limit.

I’d want to sell the Playstation 5, but my son plays Roblox and Fortnite on it and he wouldn’t allow me😅

Plus there might be a few Sony exclusives I’d want to play if they’re as great as what we got at the end of the Playstation 4 era. It’s also mostly used to watch the NBA league pass as Linux used to be troublesome for this (don’t know if it still is).

Then I’m happy to have a Playstation 5 that I don’t use as much as my Steam Deck, but it would take a lot of great single player games to make me buy a Playstation 6 alongside my future Steam Machine.

Oh good. I’m happy with Lemmy/voyager so I wouldn’t want to switch. Let’s hope they implement it at one point 🤞

A lot of my colleagues love playing games simulating our job.

I don’t because I eork enough already and don’t want to get bad reflexes from something badly represented in a sim.

I usually post on the one with more people. Then, without any answer, I’d crosspost.

Crossposting is something I try to avoid as it creates another post. It would be nice if crossposting allowed people from both instance to see and answer in the same message.

Mafia 2 Definitive edition.

The first one was great and I’m enjoying the second one for now.

Then I guess it ain’t such a huge deal but it’s scary for the future and game preservation.

It also makes you feel like it’s probably gonna get worse…

Do you have a source?

This would make sense and would give a better image of Sony.

I’m happy to be progressively disinvesting from the Playstation ecosystem.

As much as they’ve created so of the greatest games ever, I don’t like what they’ve been doing lately.

I won’t sell my ps5 as it’s still great for many things that I won’t be able to do on Steam Deck/Steam Machine, but it’s getting used less and less.

And I’ll only buy physical games for this console.
