Damnit, I wanted to install @eniko's #KitsuneTails demo on my #SteamDeck but it took so long to install all updates that my kids came back from dance lesson.
I guess it'll be for another time.
Also, I found my SteamDeck battery completely drained, again, after leaving it OFF for a long time. Honestly don't like this.
Windows users will be vulnerable to any of their sensitive data being stolen by malware since Recall stores everything in an unsecured database. What do you do if you're a gamer fed up with Windows, but you're not ready to format your whole PC over to Linux?
One option is to get a Steam Deck. It's a portable gaming system, but connect it to a dock or dongle and it's also a full featured desktop PC.
Anyone who is reading this plays #Linux games on their TV in the living room? What's your setup? Do you just have #SteamDeck hooked-up with a dock or do you use Steam Link software on your TV to stream #VideoGames from your gaming PC or do you have a "Steam Machine" type of a dedicated device just for TV #gaming? I wish to hear about it.
@darth I started with streaming from the bedroom to the living using a wired RPi 4 but the latency was just horrible. A couch gaming PC however is fucking awesome!
@steamdeckhq I hate to say it but the mobile version of your site is just unusable due to the cookie banner. After interacting with it, the page is just locked and you can’t browse it. I’ve tried different mobiles and different browsers, still the same issue
@harrybo93 thank you for letting us know! I’m sorry it’s being so much of an issue. May I ask what type of phone you are using (iOS vs Android) and I’ll pass along the issue to our web dev to correct it.
What does everyone use to dock their #steamdeck - the official dock or a cheaper third party USB C hub? I’m looking to get one and if I can get a cheaper alternative all the better. Then I’ll connect my #stadia controller to get some more use out of that...
In other Deck news, Balatro really is as good as you may have heard #GOTY
A new Proton Experimental update was released that fixes up multiplayer on Foundry, makes the Ubisoft Launcher work again, brings a new playable game to the #SteamDeck, and more:
The binary extracts the assets from the rom to play, all legal.
At Desktop mode, I simply downloaded the Linux binary from GitHub, got the USA no-intro rom of my game, added a the #github binary as a non-steam game. At the gaming mode, I forced compatibility on Linux runtime.
Deck controllers are pre-configured, all buttons work, runs at native widescreen 720p@60hz
My laptop screen broke, so I figured I could use my #SteamDeck as replacement. Didn't want to loose Steam OS, though, it's a gaming device after all.
So I bought a SanDisk SD card for 35€, and used #mkosi to flash a #fedora workstation disk image onto it. Took a few days to understand what #fedora packages I need for the full workstation experience, but in the the end the process was surprisingly smooth.
@swsnr I really wish systemd would get an initramfs generator feature so we won't need Dracut or Mkinitcpio anymore. They should be obsolete already. I'm currently using Booster*, but it's not seeing much active development.
