Cool. See my reply to that comment then.
So first off: This isn’t just about you. Other people read this, and your comment is just flat out wrong. I am typing this comment on my laptop, running Bazzite, using Mullvad VPN (that took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to install).
Second, I was literally just trying to help, why be a dick?
OK, and where did you say you used rpm-ostree? I was just trying to help… And not just you, but others. Because, as I said, I’m literally using Mullvad on Bazzite as we speak. Your comment was flat out false, and I felt the need to correct it…
I have no fucking idea how you could possibly brick hardware by trying to install an application… I never got anywhere close to doing anything that could have possibly had consequences like that.
It took me like five minutes to install Mullvad VPN on Bazzite.
I haven’t looked into rebasing yet… Is it really just as easy as entering the command and rebooting?
Have you used BoxBuddy? I know it’s not exactly a VM, but it could suffice depending on what you need it for.
Use rpm-ostree
FYI, this isn’t true. I’m on Bazzite and I’m currently using MullvadVPN and Mullvad browser.
You just need to use rpm-ostree to install it. I don’t remember the exact way I did it, but the documentation is out there. Just search for “silverblue” instead of bazzite. Or better yet, maybe even just “mullvad vpn fedora rpm-ostree” would probably get you in the right direction.
Edit: For the person who claims they bricked someone’s system while trying to install a vpn application… I don’t even know what to say. I would actually love to hear how that is even possible. Especially on an immutable distro… Do we have different definitions of “brick”?
I’ve been using it as my daily driver on my laptop for a couple of months, and I cannot recommend it enough. It has been running flawlessly.
I came from EndeavourOS. So it’s a big change from bleeding edge, to the insane stability of immutable, but I’m here for it.
And you always have BoxBuddy if there’s anything you can’t do because ostree, or if you only know how to do it in Arch (or whatever other distro).
As I mentioned in another comment, I recently switched from EndeavourOS to Bazzite on my laptop, and it has been amazing. I’ve only scratched the surface with regards to understanding the ins and outs of ostree, but I can say that so far I really like it. I’m all in on immutable, I think the whole idea is awesome.
I’ve been using Bazzite on my laptop for a few months now, and it has been wonderful. I’ve had no problems whatsoever. The only hitches I’ve had so far, have 100% been about learning how to use ostree. And now that I’ve got somewhat of a basic grasp on how it works, I love it.
Maybe it’s because I downloaded the distro version meant specifically for my hardware (Framework), but Dolphin came pre-installed as the default file explorer. And as with any other KDE/Dolphin combo, you can add things to the context menu. So I’m not really sure what file explorer you were referring to?
BoxBuddy is another thing that I’ve only been messing with a little bit (have only needed to use it once or twice for the Fedora “toolbox”), and haven’t had any issues with that either. In fact, on the contrary, I think it’s fucking awesome lol
Not saying your experience isn’t valid, I just wanted to provide a counter. I was on EndeeavorOS for about a year and a half, and switching to Bazzite has been great. It’s just a different experience. Gotta get used to flatpaks instead of using pacman and yay. And if there is anything that I really want to use, and I only know how to use it in Arch, I can just open up my Arch box in BoxBuddy and do it there.
It has been much more stable, and it idles at a lower cpu % and is consistently cooler than when I was on Arch
I can play it with Wine on Linux
I do hope you’re using Proton…
Because its not a meritocracy. We need to stop assuming these people somehow “deserve” the power and/or wealth that they’ve accumulated.
Steam Input is amazing, and something that I feel doesn’t get nearly as much credit as it deserves. You can literally make anything do anything. You can even create on-screen rotary menus and shit.
I can stream my PS5 to my Steam Deck, and use the gyro to aim in an first person game. Like, really fucking easily. I set it up so if I’m playing Chiaki4Deck and press one of the back buttons, it swaps between gyro on and gyro off.
I saw a comment on Lemmy a while back where someone said they hated steam input and I just didn’t understand what possible issue anyone could ever have with it.
Shhhh… Don’t let everyone else know how cheap you can get physical PS4/5 games for (not even just used, but new games on sale too)
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Complete Edition has gone for less than 20 at GameStop, Best Buy, or Amazon (or all three) on sale. There are ways to find the lowest price a game has ever been…
Finally. Thank god.
Yikes dude.
Learning when to say “you know what, I was wrong,” or even just, "my bad, I misspoke when I said what I originally said. What I actually meant was: " is a very important life skill as an adult. I hope you realize that one day.
You can also easily connect a mouse and keyboard (and monitor or TV if you want) if the controller doesn’t work well for the game.
Because it’s literally a PC.
Steam Deck is not just a PC, and its not just a handheld.
Yes. It’s both… And it is fully functioning as either. It’s really not difficult to understand.
Pan-sexual then, perhaps?
