Splatoon 3, then Pokémon. I have no idea what’s going on the furthest background screen.

Definitely splatoon, most likely splatoon 3.

Edit: it’s splatoon 3

Please consider Ghost or Write.as, both are part of the fediverse, support markdown (meaning easy to import content from Lemmy) AND they both support public and paid-for content with ready to use payment gateways.

I don’t have much to give but I will donate to your crusade for great content.

Thank you for the write dot as recommendation, it looks quite nice! I don’t want to give anyone the wrong impression, I am not in this for any kind of money or rewards or views or metrics, nor ads or anything nefarious.

I have been looking at where and how to back these up, but as I say - I want these to be on Lemmy. I believe so strongly in the FOSS alternatives to social media, I had the worst experiences making Reddit and Discord my choices last year (and previously), but since this year, and only choosing places like Lemmy and Mastodon? It’s been such a stark contrast, and a much more positive experience.

Thank you though, as ever Warmaster! I notice you dropped off Matrix and the Revolt server and wondered why! Hope you’ve been well, taking care of you and your family and gaming happily too :)

fmstrat,

Ghost is what we use (self-hosted) and it supports ActivityPub along side Lemmy (activitypub.ghost.org). I dont believe it yet supports full-article posting, only links, though.

What do people expect out of a desktop SteamOS that they can't already get from any other distro?

jmcs,

Brand recognition. Which apparently is the only thing that matters these days.

ddash,

For the average technology user yes. Software needs to come packaged in a way people recognise and can use without much setting up needed. I know there are many distros out there that do this. The average person using a computer however does not.

Dudewitbow,

not going to be a steam OS user, but its less what you can’t, and more that any changes that valve patches in via their efforts on AMD drivers, users would get it first and without any fuss.

One example is HDR support. various distros and DEs kinda sat on HDR for the longest time, with mixed results on implementation. Valve just walks in and implements it.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Yeah but Valve also made that open source at the same time.

Dudewitbow,

and even while open source, its implementation on various DE is still spotty, which is kinda the point.

ClassifiedPancake,

A plug and play system.

tias,

It needs to be at least as easy as Windows to install and have good support.

Extra bonus points if they preinstall/bundle it on gaming PCs.

teawrecks,

Both of these are possible with many other distros.

fmstrat,

Sounds like you just described Bazzite.

judgyweevil,

Easy, streamlined support

BmeBenji,

Approachability. Valve is a recognizable name and the Steam Deck is notoriously usable in the sea of Linux uncertainty.

Before you say “Linux is totally usable, just look at <examples>” the first question people are prompted with is “What distribution do you want to install?” and there is no singular place that says “this is what you want for this specific use case.”

Valve is not the first name in Linux gaming, but they are a known and trusted name. It’s not just about brand recognition but about trusting a name to guide you through something brand new and extremely daunting. For the vast majority of PC gamers, SteamOS offers a guided introduction to something that previously was stereotyped as complex and difficult to learn.

Is it the best distro? Probably not, but then again it’s extremely easy to migrate from SteamOS to something else when someone discovers they want something else. Until they understand enough about Linux to find that they want something else, SteamOS is currently one of the best ways to get them there

Plus, Valve is known for technical things!

Cethin,

Approachability. Valve is a recognizable name and the Steam Deck is notoriously usable in the sea of Linux uncertainty.

It’s very usable for a handheld gaming platform. It really isn’t any better for a desktop platform. The thing that makes it so usable is that you boot it and it boots into Steam Big Picture, and you don’t see the desktop. Most users never will. Is that how people are going to want their desktop to work though? Probably not. They probably don’t want to only use Steam. They probably want to use other applications too.

@madame_gaymes@programming.dev avatar

I don’t think it’s about having extra functionality to no one else has.

SteamOS is more restrictive than other distros out of the box. A user with no experience whatsoever would have a harder time messing things up because rootfs is RO and gets wiped on every update. Kinda forces the average user into using flatpak/Discover to mimic Windows and Apple app stores. In other words, it’s all about the psychology, not the distro itself.

Not to mention there is an actual company with an incentive to maintain the distro, with a massive focus on gaming. They have a ton of testing resources that a lot of distro maintainers do not have in that regard.

Having said all that, installing a distro other SteamOS on my Steam Deck was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve been using Linux for 32 years, I do not like SteamOS because they are trying to make it dumb for general consumption. Similar reasons why I despise Windows, besides the whole being owned by Microsoft thing.

teawrecks,

I would probably use it over bazzite for my HTPC, but yeah, I don’t recommend either for a daily driver PC.

Windex007, do gaming w Can confirm...

I’ve got some cartridge from Ukraine with an SD slot in it. You can load the SD card with every ROM and then play them directly off an N64

This is great because for some reason emulators have problems with Dr. Mario but the N64 runs the ROM just fine

Know_not_Scotty_does,

Krikizz Everdrive! They are awesome on every system I have them for, snes, gbc, gba, and n64. They can be picky about the sd card you use but work flawlessly once you have the right one.

Windex007,

Yeah that’s the one. Guess I was lucywith my SD card pick (can’t remember, maybe got the card with the unit?) but it’s been rock solid since I got it.

Nothing beats playing all the games on original hardware imo!
