Just another Reddit refugee
I was also in your position.
Tried to use lutris a few years back and got spooked. I tried lutris again this year and the process seems to be more streamlined. I just tried installing an ancient game from an ISO and lutris asked me “are you trying to install game A? Then we will apply the patches for game A”. It was all automatic.
IMO the only advantages the ROG Ally has over the Steam Deck OLED are
In every other way, the Steam Deck is superior (interface polish, battery life, HDR, touchpad).
It’s possible I have to RTFM.
I checked the Bazzite documentation for the Ally and it says SimpleDeckyTDP provides more features than HHD so I didn’t experiment with it at all. I prefer using the Decky plugin mainly because it fits with the Bazzite theme better :P
Hi, you’re absolutely correct and sorry for being unclear.
I mean precise TDP control (16W or 17W) and custom fan curves. I’ve used HHD, it’s also good. Most people simple switch between power saving / balanced / performance but wanted to go down further to extract a little more juice out of the device.
SimpleDeckyTDP is a bit tricky (open desktop mode - open terminal - paste command) to install but offers more customisation.
If I had to a host a HTPC, it would be with Docker as it’s a more reliable way to maintain a service.
You’re welcome!
I have been very particular in this review about the experience of using Windows compared to Bazzite, not the performance. I’ve seen many reviews talk about how one is offere 5-10 FPS more than the other OS but you really don’t notice that most of the time.
Windows can do everything that Linux can do on average but the experience is vastly different. That is what I’m trying to say in this post.
I would be happy if they just made sure it works with Proton. We would be seeing serious Linux native games when we have a 20-30% market share anyway.
Nobody is saying Valve is perfect. But the other companies just sucks much harder
I think mkdocs is easier than hugo but less flexible in terms of capability. However it serves all my needs (list of webpages accessible from a central frontpage)
Stardew Valley is a good fit.
You tend to your farm, help people, maintain relationships with people by gifting them and changing their lives.
Unfortunately, i play the game like a maniac. Running around from morning 6 AM till 10 PM.
A happy fuck Microsoft to you as well 🎩
Since Microsoft also wants x86 apps to work on their Qualcomm powered Windows laptops, can this project help Microsoft in some way?
Valve can poke Rockstar but they (Valve) can’t magically make the anticheat work. It has to come from the developer
I earliest I expect a Steam Deck 2 to come out would be in middle 2025
Nuclear apocalypse happens and internet is down
Hi there, just a small correction. Compared to existing linux distros, it’s slightly different. Steam OS is an immutable OS, which means you can’t edit the root partition (Like you can’t edit the C:\ drive in Windows). This is both good and bad.
Good -> Users can’t mess up their device while trying to mess around with it. Updates are smooth because Valve knows the previous state of the OS.
Bad -> It’s bad only for extreme power users as it’s not fully customizable. You can’t run your own kernel, install certain build packages to do some advanced stuff. But this is a tiny tiny bad.
Overall, Steam OS is great and I believe will be the gateway for the general PC crowd.
Steam Deck + USB type C dock + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller. You’re done
You mean to say that my great-grandson can finally play Destiny 2 on Linux? Sweet!
Then what is Overwatch?
