Theoretically it should be possible. You can at least install MTP on Linux PCs and I bet there’s something for Windows as well. So I think at that point it’s up to the smartphone to have client support.

Meh, but I’m too lazy to test this.

As a workaround you could also just take the pictures without zooming and then zoom in afterwards with any image manipulation program. It’s technically the same thing. Minus whatever “enhancements” your camera app is applying.

And I guess your screenshot tool isn’t including it in the shot

Oh, I thought that was the scroll bar.

Did you mean with touch support? They can all work without touch if you just don’t use it.

Gnome works quite well with touch. I had to jump through some hoops to get KDE Plasma to work well enough on my Steam Deck. I have to use three different on screen keyboards (Maliit, Onboard and Steam’s) depending on what I’m doing.

When I had my Pinephone I was really tempted to use Gnome as my DE. There were just some really small annoyances and it would have been perfect. Made me wish that Purism had thrown their weight directly at Gnome instead of making Phosh.

Me too. It’s too early in the morning.

Valve is difficult. On the one hand they have their own Wayland compositor with gamescope. Which works by launching an explicitly configured XWayland session for the game.

And on the other hand there’s Steam, which is still an X application.

And on top of that are stupid Steam Input bugs that only happen when you try to launch a game with gamescope.

On the Steam Deck in gaming mode Gamescope is the main compositor which launches two XWayland sessions. I guess one for Steam and one for the game.

It’s bizarre.

In my experience, at least with krunner, it would autosort after a while of selecting Firefox.

My kids wanted to play the game solely based on a Lego set they saw in a toy store.

I have Ventoy on a MicroSD card for my Steam Deck. Saved my ass the other day.

If you don’t have a floppy disk to boot into the optimal memory configuration for your game, what are you even doing with your life?

The stupid zombies in Thief. Just the first one you encounter. It’s lying on the ground with flies flying above it. And every time you go near it it gives out this loud awful moan. I hate it!

But the game is too good not to play.

Something tells me Karl Marx wouldn’t like these things either.

Or they’re just about 10 to 20 thousand years in the future which is why Genie can dish out so many 20th century references.

Because of the Mac focus I really had a sliver of hope that Halo might get a Linux release. Or that the Windows release might at least be playable via Wine. Then they got bought by Microsoft.

Peanut butter! We just don’t have the good stuff here. It’s the only present I remember from my father’s guest sisters when they visited us.

Such a great game.

I don’t think I ever managed to get beyond the first level with any species. Maybe with the Predator.

I just wish they’d support older cards as well with the new open source stuff.
