  • I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteries

    Jump

  • Valve’s repair policy was exceptional with the steam deck so I have reasons to believe that the battery for the steam controller will be available for a very reasonable cost.

    Just to piggy back on what you are say, one of the engineers in the LTT video mentioned they want to team up with iFixIt again, just like they did for the Steam Deck. And I saw the back shell off the controller in one of the videos. The batter looks dead simple to replace. It's wild to even imagine that a company in 2025 would be be consumer friendly.

  • I hear you. I agree requiring the whole back shell being removed to swap the battery is an oversight. Maybe they have a good reason for it, but doubt it. I'm not too worried about it considering, how often I'd have to swap in a new battery. I mean, even my used PS5 controller I bought 3 years ago, the battery works just as well as it did when I bought it. Still sucks compared to a PS4 controller, but that's a whole other issue. If I'm removing the backshell once every 3-5 years, I'm really not bothered in the least. It's just not an issue I care about.

  • yeah, that's my experience. But I just plug in a remote battery and keep going. 0-100% in seconds.

  • Disagree. I bought the rechargeable replacement for all my xbox controllers. When those wore out, after years, I just replaced them with another rechargeable. Too Easy. I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

  • Please stop asking for One Single Linux Desktop or Distro

    Jump

  • Yeah, but the newbs don't realize that in the beginning. They act as if their choice is a permanent decision and they are already overwhelmed and don't really understand the choices. At least until they realize it's LInux Boi Summer and go whoring around riding the distro carousel.

    Jump

  • Same, but I typically hear it from recent Windows converts. I think they just get overwhelmed. And of course you have all the less recent Windows converts pushing their favorite distro for confirmation bias. i.e. "Arch BTW", "Mint FYI", "MX Linux IMO". I don't hear it from the experienced users.

  • How?

    Jump

  • Get out of here. "Everyone"??? Well then, "everyone" can put their effort and their money behind the solution they want. Nobody is stopping them. If they do nothing, then they made their choice. That's how FOSS works. If other people are paying and doing the work, while you and "everyone" does nothing, you have no room to complain.

  • How?

  • "Everybody's adopting other solutions. Our idea must be bad. Let's consider other other solutions and decide if we want to continue with our current implementation." /FTFY

  • That's actually a great feature. Not suggested near enough. Unfortunately, as easy as it is, it's still well above the average user who just wants to open a browser and check their web page. I think average users need to be encouraged to just get help from a friend or a LUG, just like the late 90's and early 2000's for Windows.

  • How?

    Jump

  • That's how FOSS works. Good ideas get adopted, bad ideas lose adoption. Even I dropped Gnome because of their bike shedding. This is the way.

  • How?

    Jump

  • You got me. Average FOSS user here. Be the change you want to see or make the changes you want to see. Stop whining and complaining. Pretty simple.

  • How?

    Jump

  • You have the opportunity to be the change you want to see or make the change you want to see. Whining and crying about it doesn't help anybody. It's time you learned that.

  • How?

    Jump

  • Sounds like a good opportunity to add the features in the way you see fit.

  • How?

    Jump

  • If's FOSS, don't cry about it, implement the feature the way you think is best; just like every one else.

  • How do I set up World of Warcraft for use with Linux?

    Jump

  • I played WoW hardcore on Linux during Vanilla, off and on since. But blizzard always said they, unofficially support Linux. To their credit, Battle.Net and WoW always installed without any major issues or special tinkering required. Pretty much my only game, for a long long time, for that reason. Have to agree with you though, at least these days. Linux Gaming numbers have to be closing in on Blizzard official support levels. Tim Sweeney said, 15 million Linux gamers before we could expect a Linux official launcher from them. I imagine Blizzard is in the same boat in that regard. And Youtubers seem to speculate, between 5 and 10 million monthly active users. So, we have to be close.

  • Interesting. Bottles is usually my go to for Battle.net. I hadn't played any Battle.net games in probably a year now when I switched over to PopOs 24.04. I wonder what's going on. I do remember all of your tools needed to have the same flatpak version installed as the bottles version you are running, at least it seemed. Usually not an issue on first install, more like, when you upgrade one tool but not the others. Well, no biggie, at least you have a working install; all that matters.

  • haha, I've told people to just google around for over a decade now. Sounds like that's bad advice now. Is Geek Squad still a thing?
