  • [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work

    Jump

  • It's been a hot minute since I installed Bazzite, but it might even come with Heroic preinstalled. I think it did come with Lutris by default, as you say.

  • Revised Steam Survey For December 2025 Puts Linux Gaming Marketshare At 3.58%

    Jump

  • I sincerely mean this: thank you for your sacrifice. I wish there were more people like you who were willing to make the sacrifices necessary to stick it to the big corpos.

  • Revised Steam Survey For December 2025 Puts Linux Gaming Marketshare At 3.58%

    Jump

  • I'll be excited if Linux hits 20% total market share, which is about where Apple sits last time I checked. That would put Linux squarely as a contender for normies.

  • First tech device I've ever bought where I didn't feel some amount of buyer's remorse. There's nothing I dislike about it, and I can even install my own distro on it, if I so desire. Because of the form factor, I've even been able to tackle my backlog!

  • "The company is going to have to find ways to monetise more aggressively" Would Discord going public be good or bad for its users? We spoke to an expert to find out

    Jump

  • Bad. It's always bad for the user. It's good for the people at the top, but the reason for going public is never ever for the benefit of the consumer.

    The reason is that even if the initial buy-in helps fund innovation, that will inevitably be replaced by enshittification as the board of investors demand "line must go up." You can't be consumer focused and chase profits; they are mutually exclusive.

  • How to turn off Gemini in Gmail — and why you should

    Jump

  • But with https://unbox.at/ to make it harder for companies (and maybe certain governments) to tie you to your inbox. Also, it's just generally helpful for managing spam and promotional garbage.

  • [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work

    Jump

  • CachyOS has a handheld option, too. You can slap that on there to get a more typical Arch experience, or install Bazzite to keep the benefit of an immutable system but without the A/B system partitioning.

  • [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work

    Jump

  • You just described Bazzite. You can literally install the KDE version, same as you'd find on a Deck, and get right to gaming. No tinkering required. Steam is installed by default, Bluetooth works as expected, USB controllers work when plugged in.

    The only time you might "tinker" with gaming is when you want to install, say, an emulator or Heroic from the Discovery store (flatpak) to play your non-Steam games, all of which is optional.

    SteamOS isn't going to offer significant benefit, except it might get Valve-specific fixes before they upstream the patches. If you're waiting around, expecting SteamOS to be some shift in the distro landscape, I think you're going to be disappointed.

  • After Micron's greedy decision, SK Hynix could also exit consumer DRAM and NAND business

    Jump

  • According to the article, it might be a company in China, but that remains to be seen. They could just as easily pivot into AI bullshit to try to get a piece of that pie before the bubble pops.

  • Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhone

    Jump

  • It's essentially a specialized gaming laptop without the screen. Of course it's going cost as much as a laptop.

    If people want a cheaper alternative, the 512GB Steam Deck—which is weaker than the Machine and also essentially a laptop—costs $550, and it can connect to people's TV's as well.

  • You need to stop using Brave

    Jump

  • The ones I know aren't at all, they're just uninformed.

  • how much do you donate to the apps you use?

    Jump

  • Depends on the project and the kind of utility I get from it. Up to $20 USD typically, but I've donated more for specific cases.

  • What did you get for Christmas?

    Jump

  • Nonsense. How can sound travel such a long wire? It needs the air gaps to produce sound!

  • Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it?

    Jump

  • Exactly. They're okay with the fascist Xitpool, but if any regular dev ever crossed those "guidelines," they'd be banned in a heartbeat.

  • New US Dietary Guidelines Are Heavy on Meat and Carbon Emissions

    Jump

  • Yeah, if it has a .gov top-domain at this point, I just treat it like a conspiracy theory website on the dark corners of the Internet.

    Also, has anyone gone to the website about the new guidelines? It's a nightmare to try to navigate. It does that thing where it has flashy animated scrolling, so you can't tell if there's more, what's coming next, where to find a specific piece of info...

    It feels like it was made by somebody's nephew who knows how to code fancy JavaScript stuff but doesn't know shit about good UX design.

  • Is anyone planning on forking Plasma to restore X11 support when it is dropped?

    Jump

  • Probably true, but iirc, there are already people planning to keep X11 going, because change means fucking up their personal workflow.

  • Linaro reveal they're collaborating with Valve for the Steam Frame

    Jump

  • I'll just download some, no biggie.

  • YSK: Albert Einstein wrote about Socialism, and specifically calls out issues with the version proposed by technocrats.

  • Lemmy.ml mods are extremely strict, aren't they?

  • You seem like good people. Just wanted to point that out.
