  • There should be real hotkey editing in the settings or it should respect the OS hotkey settings. As of now the only way to toggle this is by diving into about config and finding the flag.

  • I was recently gifted a Steam Deck for Christmas! If you only had a budget of, let's say 50 bucks, what would you get?

  • Ur-Quan... isn't that the one that stole the plot from mass effect?!!! /s ;) Glad to see it mentioned... great game. So many hours spent playing that in story campaign but also super melee multiplayer back in the day. Great soundtrack.

  • It also imports your steam wishlist

    Can also directly import from gog, hb, and fanatical. EGS is on the todo list also once they have an api or even just a public facing library. All this time and egs is still pretty bare bones on features.

    True, though you don’t get the existing cloud saves so if you’ve started a game already it’s a little annoying.

    That's annoying. I wonder how hard it would be to just copy or use some kind of sync to move the files yourself.

  • Not a game recommendation specifically but a money extending protip.

    Head over to ITAD and make an account. Then you can get notifications when all the games you’re interested in go on sales from legit resellers (including steam itself). As well as when there’s free games to be had. https://isthereanydeal.com/

    Edit: also… if you collect the weekly freebies from epic games you can install heroic games launcher on the steam deck to play those.

  • Just to interject a little bit of context for those that don't know... UMU is Glorious Eggroll's project, so it has some clout to it.

  • LinuxNext has a nice long video about it.

    My understanding is that lutris is actually in maintenance mode (still around but not being updated) so this is meant to be a replacement for that... and bottle is a more general purpose tool without the gaming enhancements, hence this is being promoted these days.

  • Hey! How do you pronounce AUR?

    Jump

  • Ay Yew Arr

    ...but if they renamed it Arch Interactive User Repository or Arch Internet User Repository, I have no problem switching to pronouncing it "eye-urr"

  • Marathon's short film director doesn't know why this needs clarifying, but no, he didn't use AI to make it

  • They do a cashgrab bs reboot of a beloved franchise... release a bland, weird AI looking movie... then get caught stealing artwork inside the game itself. "we don't understand why you don't trust us!!" fuuuuuckoff.

    After 5 years, I’m finally leaving Ubuntu for this Linux distro

  • fedora's declaration that they're officially okay with including "ai" generated code in the project has me shopping around for a new distro. CachyOS seems like it's really soliid choice these days.

  • Sure... and so is smashing your watch with a hammer while you're still wearing it. But neither of them are a good idea for your apple watch or your health.

  • I had forgotten that KDE was doing another core showcase distro.

    KDE Linux is an “immutable base OS” Linux distro created using Arch Linux packages, but it should not be considered an “Arch-based distro”; Arch is simply a means to an end, and KDE Linux doesn’t even ship with the pacman package manager.

    KDE Linux leans on Systemd for a great deal of functionality. Updates are atomic and image-based, with the last 5 OS images cached on disk. Only the Wayland session is supported. Apps primarily come from Flatpak and Snap.

    What? This just sounds like a linux fever dream lol. Definitely interested to see what they do though.

  • Yeah, that was the point I was making in part 2 of the OP... I've just heard that some debian distros (mostly heard about ubuntu) will still just do whatever it feels like. Having trouble finding concrete info if that's still an issue though :/

  • Also, Mint kinda follows Ubuntu’s release cycle, so I would say it’s as up to date as Ubuntu

    They follow Ubuntu LTS... so the core is a every four version which is 2 years between core updates.

    Part of the thoughts on kubuntu was that it will be far more up to date with the KDE versions.

    The two reasons I prefer Mint over native *buntu is because of Cinnamon

    Absolutely. Cinnamon is great. That was the other WM that they liked but eventually decided that they wanted to use KDE.

    They may well decide they want to distro hop or settle into a more stable system that doesn't change much in the future, but the semi-annual model of changing to the latest UI/UX while still having a longer testing phase ended up being the most appealing option.

  • The faster release cycle was something I wanted to keep without committing to rolling release. Debian does what... 2 years per release? I considered Mint but they are more focused on "stable" and I'm hoping for a fresher system (also moving to wayland is definitely a friction point for mint dev).
