niisyth,

I have a fairly cushy IT job, and I don’t see many jobs that aren’t managerial that the tax would affect. Enough to the point of it causing a brain drain, which wouldn’t already have happened due to other reasons.

niisyth,

Exactly this. To both points actually. I have a home server on debian and after a bit of setup woes(partly linux still being so reliant on CLI, partly my inexperience with it), it’s been running super smoothly. Have multiple dockers and it has been a joy. And same for the steam deck, it just works. Some glitches here and there with controller support but that’s just PC gaming. But I installed it on my laptop as well and that was a shitshow. All biometrics wouldn’t work, wifi kept dropping in and out, phantom touches now and then. Sure I could have done some cli technical wizardry but I gave up after trying to make it work half as smoothly on my workflow as in windows. And the windows 11 on it is utter garbage. Partly this is manufacturing not having linux drivers available and partly it is linux just not having guis for essential functions. Hope steam is able to have enough of a push to get much needed consumer friendly guis for more system functions.

niisyth,

As someone who has tried it on multiple devices in recent years, it still isn’t smooth enough. And I’ve been assembling computers for 2 decades now. So not entirely technically illiterate, but just not adept in linux. Definitely heavily reliant on use cases for how smooth the experience is. The server side is very well developed with years of linux leaning heavier on that side, but the splintering of frontend has a bit of an android effect. Lots of really cool things but still some jank that you can’t get rid of.

Recent years of 2021, 22, 23, and 24.

niisyth,

Anecdotally, Mint broke file permissions and then the mounting points for my home server setup. And I find Cinnamon to be quite ugly imho.

I tried Fedora and Debian and much prefer those two vs Mint. Also, KDE is incredibly beautiful on the Steam Deck.

P.S. Fedora and Debian work with secure boot OOTB. Helpful for a laptop install. I know you can make it work with Arch and Mint as well, and there’s issues+opinions with secure boot, but I just wanted something to work. I am not as adept with linux and the guides assumed a particular level of experience with it.

Consumer Nintendo Switch 2 rumored to have more RAM than the Xbox Series S (www.notebookcheck.net)

A new Nintendo Switch 2 rumor has surfaced claiming that the next-generation hybrid console could actually arrive with more memory than a powerful rival like the Microsoft Xbox Series S. The same source has also offered an update in regard to the Switch 2’s potential DLSS support and ray-tracing capabilities.

niisyth,

This got a hearty chuckle out of me. Thank You

niisyth,

That was the game that totally sold me on the Steam Deck Experience. I played a lot of the handheld perfect games on the switch already.

niisyth,

Why would they do that when they could just call it Virtua Boy 2?

niisyth,

Hold the GODDAMN heck up, did you just call Shovel Knight Shovelware??? b r u h

niisyth,

That’s called a port my dude.

niisyth,

Also, by your definition, Skyrim and Witcher 3 are also Shovelware.

Which, I want you to think hard about for maybe 1 min.

niisyth,

Second Super Mario 3D World and Rayman games. The Rayman ones were a huge hit when my college mates visited.

niisyth,

Don’t think they would have the rights to. They could sell it but making it available freely when it isn’t their IP would be a can of worms.

niisyth,

Subnautica has been an absolute blast on the deck.

It hits the same exploration spot for me as the Switch Zelda games do.

Beautiful game.

niisyth,

Pikmin 2, Subnautica, Dome Keeper on the Steam Deck, Zelda TOTK on the Switch and revisiting Civ V on my main pc.

niisyth,

I usually play a lot of new indie and old AAA games but rn the biggest time sink is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. As anti-consumer as Nintendo is, they know how to make quality halo games.

niisyth,

Kinda hard to prove a negative, right?

How would you know if you didn't notice? Could be dozens but could just as well be 0.

niisyth,

As much as I loathe Nintendo's business end, The xbox series has absolutely horrendous naming system.

Nintendo fucked up mainly for Wii=> Wii U, Microsoft has been a shitshow since 360, mainly coz they picked 360 and didn't consider what they'll go to next.

And the ONE moniker for a buttload of services is absolute bullshit when it isn't the first device/product from that brand.

And then they went to Series? That's absolutely shit as a naming convention for a single generation as well.

Stg the project names are a lot better than the final marketing names.

Xenon, Durango, Scarlett. Definitely better IMHO.

niisyth,

It has a free demo if you want to check if it is something you'd like. I definitely sank a shitload of hours into it and finished a few audiobooks and podcast backlog on it.

niisyth,

Not sure personally, but I bought on Steam and mods work perfectly fine on that. For Windows and Steam Deck both.

niisyth,

I think Grip might have the same feel. I never played the old ones tho.

niisyth,

Not the same but Blur was a nice time a while back. Sad that the series didn't go anywhere.

Oh and Toybox Turbos.

niisyth,

Might wanna try out co-op shooters. I thought I hated MMO shooters but DRG has been a wonderful experience.
