We assume its probably the anticheat, because its a Kernel level anticheat. Maybe it only works with an unaltered image of the Steam Deck OS and Kernel. This is highly speculative and it might be just a bug on the game or Proton side or something. This is still beta and the first day, so they collect information and see what the users have to say. Hopefully they will address this issue. At the very least being open and explain the situation, so we know for sure.

SteamDeck=1 %command% was the first thing I tried. Marvel Rivals has not a similar problem, because Marvel Rivals supports general Linux and the Steam Deck. The reason why the SteamDeck variable is needed is, because with a recent updated of the game the launcher does not work properly in Proton. And in Steam Deck mode the launcher is not used.

But with Splitgate 2 it seems like they deliberately does only support the Steam Deck itself. So setting a variable to trick them is not enough. At first glance it looks like a similar problem, but only the outcome is the same. The problem is different.

It just says only Steam Deck and Legion Go S are officially supported. But you can install it on other devices too (people did already).

If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.

The update is that you can officially download and install SteamOS on other devices.

Does this mean I can install SteamOS on any device?
 We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Deck or device that incorporates SteamOS. The only devices officially supported on SteamOS right now are Steam Deck and Legion Go S.

We are working on broadening support, and with the recent updates to Steam and SteamOS, compatibility with other AMD powered PC handhelds has been improved. If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.

You mean an L-take? I’m not sure why. SteamOS is a gaming oriented os, with specific user interface and update cycles and features towards that. I think its the right call by Valve to put this note that this is not a general purpose desktop os meant to replace it. I know about the desktop mode (have Steam Deck myself).

The point is, the goal and usage is not meant and to be considered a full replacement for a desktop. People can decide themselves to do it anyway, its just not the goal. So totally not an L take here. Unless I misunderstood your point.

Thanks, I see. I’ll research and learn more about the differences. Thought this was an writing error and didn’t research yet.

Netscape asked Brendan Eich to develop a scripting language that looks like Java, but be object oriented rather than class based.

I don’t understand this part. Isn’t object oriented also class based?? I mean that’s the entire reason why classes exist, to create objects. Isn’t it? How is this separated here?

Took a while, as we was waiting for this since the launch of the Steam Deck. Now the floodgate is open.

The obligatory The Year Of Linux. :D

Well, you was not wrong though. Because it is both. I just forgot it, so you schooled me too. :-) We can have it all! :D

In Bash echo is a builtin command. The external indipendent /usr/bin/echo is only used by non Bash shells.

The generation that grows up with Ai won’t know what real is. For them, the Ai look is the one they are comfortable with, and the real videos are the odd looking ones. Man I wanted to make a joke, but this is scary as hell. Hope I’m wrong with the future…

Why not use simple bookmarks?

doesn’t work for me (using fish) and is apparantly only available in bash; would you call that then a command?

Right, the ^search^replace is a Bash feature. It is a builtin command, like echo or cd in example. Just because a command is not available to any other shell or if its not an independent program, does not make it not a command (in my opinion).

However I agree its a little bit out of place here. A note that its a builtin and not universally available to every shell would have been nice in such a listing.

These lists are always nice. But how does following even fit into the topic of this post at all? These are not underrated hidden gems and most who use the terminal used it already:

23. > file.txt Command – Overwrite a File

Routing the stdout to a file is one of the most common used “commands” in Linux. And one to learn at the very beginning.

30. ping -i 60 -a IP_address Command – Ping with a Custom Interval

Probably not that useful in day to day usage, but I assume this is one of the most basic commands lot of people used it in the past to test if they have internet access. ping google.com is common, or so I thought.

Otherwise there are some nice listings, such as at (I really should use that one too), du (actually not that hidden, but its probably underrated and people install lot of tools doing same instead) or yes (useful for certain automation, where you know the answer is to proceed). A solid list, but a little bit short and with a few questionable entries.

Valve Time. Finally.

They do more than just autocomplete, even in autocomplete mode. These Ai tools suggest entire code blocks and logic and fill in multiple lines, compared to a standard autocomplete. And to use it as a standard autocomplete tool, no Ai is needed. Using it like that wouldn’t be bad anyway, so I have nothing against it.

The problems arise when the Ai takes away the thinking and brain functionality of the actual programmer. Plus you as a user get used to it and basically “addicted”. Independent thinking and programming without Ai will become harder and harder, if you use it for everything.

Mostly closed source, because open source rarely accepts them as they are often just slop. Just assuming stuff here, I have no data.

what’s up with ending FakeSpot? They just bought that.

Assuming the tool was not accepted and used well enough by the user base. Also Mozilla got all user data and the technology. Maybe they plan on a new project that implements part of it in the future? Mozilla is currently experimenting a lot. Shutting down lot of services should be expected.

Unless you actually interact with the developer. Such cases are in example when you do a bug report and discuss this. Or in social media. But its not only about the interaction, but the toxicity of the person towards other people and projects. Also if I am interested and using a tool, then I will probably read blog posts, update notes and so on too.

Even if I don’t interact with someone, I don’t have to support bad behavior. I also don’t have much faith into the project with a human I dislike how the person treats others. If you don’t care and are unaffected by it, its your decision to do what you want and accept.
