I use makeMKV as a Flatpak and never had to change any of the permissions, although it’s true that F’atpaks have restrictions.

But I never tried it on my Steam Deck.

Maybe OP has another computer he could try MakeMKV on.

Let’s hope it’s gonna allow us to transform PS5s into Steam Machines 🤞

I already have a PS5 but I’m almost not using it.

I guess an eventual Last Of Us 3 would be PS6 exclusive, but I’d want it to be released on PC or at least on PS5.

Let’s pray they release these on PC, otherwise I might get another Playstation even if I said the 5th one would be the last🙏

Exactly. These games have no chapters or natural moments to stop playing, so you keep playing forever😅

I fell into Frostpunk again. I love the game but have the unhealthy habit of spending way too much time in front of it and never stopping after a reasonable time.

Mafia 3. Struggled to get it working on my Steam Deck because of its controls, but now it works. The first few hours were great but now I’m scared the repetitive tasks are gonna appear…

Okay thanks, I’ll look at my cables when I’m home.

It’s true that I’ve never thought about being more careful when I get these small programs from Github.

Well something like this https://github.com/meliorisse/CordIDMonitor or this https://github.com/connection-information-suite/usb-connection-information-menubar-linux or https://github.com/nedrichards/whatcable-linux sounds kind of useful for my case

To be honest I kind of understand why they want to kill physical discs. What makes it not okay is that at the same time they don’t give you any possibility to fully own your digital media like you used to own your dics (even if these have DRM’s).

That’s why I’m leaving consoles and trying to buy on GOG when possible.

I’m ready to make the sacrifice, but a lot of people aren’t because consoles still have advantages.

That’s why I have to react when people are saying that consoles have nothing over PC. It’s true for us, but not for everyone.

As much as I agree with you about owning your games and moving to Linux PC, I have to disgree when you say there is 0 reason to be on a closed ecosystem as a gamer.

I’ll probably never buy a Playstation again as I’m in the process of moving my gaming to Linux (Steam Deck for now, gaming rig when the prices go down), but Sony games used to be/are great and everything works perfectly out of the box.

Pc gaming/Linux is becoming better, but it’s not there yet for ease of use.

Yes that would probably be the project if my wife didn’t want to keep her Netflix subscription😅

For now, I’m giving up on the open source smart TV as I also don’t want to impose too much on my family.

Next TV would probably be a dumb TV or a Linux one though.

Really interesting, but it shows you that it’s not gonna be tomorrow that my Philips smart TV is gonna become a Linux TV.

I already bricked it one when switching the base launcher and removing too many apps. After struggling to set it up perfectly to watch movies on LibreELEC in perfect conditions, I ain’t tinkering with it as long as it remains my only TV.

Maybe one day we’ll get Linux friendly smart TV and cars…

To be honest, my view of Fortnite is kids buying expensive skins. In Roblox, I’ve seen people creating games and kids are less pushed towards spending money.

I’ve seen my son waste a lot of his allowance in Fortnite and almost none in Roblox.

But, to be honest, while I’ve watched him play, I never played myself…

No bad experience for now, but my kid can’t chat with people also.

Oh maybe, it’s just that for me Roblox and Fortnite are the games my kids are playing and one of them can be played on Linux.

I don’t know about PUBG and I don’t know if it’s popular with kids/teens.

Maybe you should try to tell her Roblox is better as I managed to have it working on my Steam Dech through Sober and Vinegar.

We used to keep our Playstation 5 for this, but lately he only plays on the Steam Deck so I’m considering selling it.

Yeah lets burn that book as there are many others and we can still go outside instead of reading.

Maybe it’s not for you, but for me game preservation is important and when I see how large games are now, it makes me wonder how people will be able to store them for future generations. And then there are DRM’s…
