I mean tbf the majority of the time I use my Deck is on the train.

Taco2112,

Yeah, I use it mostly while traveling. It might come out a few times at the destination if I’m traveling for work or to my hometown but thankfully it never really comes out when I’m actually on vacation.

WolfLink,

I have a Switch I play mostly on trains and airplanes.

simple, do games w Blue Prince | Review Thread (91/100 OpenCritic)

This came out of nowhere for me. I’ve seen this game floating around in Steam’s Next Fest but I didn’t expect such glowing reviews (mostly put down by Xbox Achievement’s 6.5/10)

I don’t put much stock in games from unknown developers ahead of their release, but people who got access to this during the review period have been dying to get to the end of the embargo to talk about it.

My wife and I have been playing a lot of Enshrouded, lately. With all the new updates, it’s just a lot of fun, though challenging at times. :)

@mooncake@lemm.ee avatar

I upgraded to Windows 11.

I tried Linux but but so much stuff isn’t supported so I got rid of it.

histic,

What other then adobe and rootkit anti cheat’s don’t work

crusa187,

For gaming, It’s mostly niche windows things in my experience. In my case I opted to stay on linux anyway. Also worth noting, I find that outside of gaming linux is superior for work and general pc use.

Some manufacturer programs for doing things like mouse macros or controlling LED lighting, auto hotkey scripts, some types of overlays tied to directx apis (yolomouse), etc. These things don’t and probably will never work. I think some of them might if you really know your stuff with wine, but that usually ends up being dependency hell for me and I give up more often than succeeding when trying to force a windows native program to run.

histic,

For the first 2 there are 3rd party programs for it the rest yea probably won’t work

crusa187,

Yeah I’m aware of openrgb, it has limited compatibility but seems to work ok for most of my stuff. Still haven’t found a great way to run my favorite corsair keyboard reactive lighting theme I had setup with their software in windows, but what I came up with in openrgb is good enough.

However, I didn’t think it was possible to run autoIt or autoHotkey at all in Linux. Are you suggesting a Python script to replace it, or something else? AHK has a very peculiar syntax which I don’t believe would translate well to other languages.

histic,

Depends if your on x11 or Wayland ahk does have a port to x11 scripts do require modification otherwise ydotool is available on Wayland I haven’t done much research into it but appears it can do a lot of what you might want

crusa187,

Hey that’s pretty cool, I happen to be on x11 still but plan to switch to Wayland once Cosmic is in beta.

This is great info, will look into this further. Ty!

Kinda why I’m not jumping to get a Steam Deck. I have a desktop, and I already know if I had the deck it would almost never get used outside my apartment anyway, since I’d never actually have time for it.

Now if I was still a kid with no responsibility and didn’t have to drive myself, it would be a different story. That story being I still wouldn’t have a deck because I wouldn’t have money and my parents wouldn’t buy it for me. 😩

I run Fedora KDE now, but I’m going to keep my Windows 10 install on Windows 10.

HexesofVexes,

How are you finding it?

frog_brawler,

No complaints about Fedora KDE specifically. I’ve had it on my spare laptop since version 30 or so. Desktop is on 41 now. The only “issues” I’ve had running this full-time is lack of support for Fidelity Active Trader Pro (which kinda sucks anyway), I haven’t been able to make my bluetooth shipping label printer work yet, and I haven’t gotten my Logi MX Keys / Master S mouse working as it works in Logi Options (on windows or mac) to switch over to my work mac as intended. Otherwise, I prefer it to other distros I’ve used.

HexesofVexes,

Thanks for the feedback - currently weighing up disros (was thinking mint, but a few folks have praised fedora KDE based distros now).

Gonna have to.

I don’t mind it, just using w10 for simplicity’s sake.

Upgrade to win11 or change to Linux?

Enzy,

Linux of course.

Anybody tried a steam deck with dock? Gaming and casual desktop should be doable with that.

@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

Steam deck with dock is amazing. I picked up a dock about 6 months ago and have gotten so much use out of it.

My Windows 10 PC’s only function at this point is to play FFXIV in my living room, so I’m not super worried about viruses or anything.

But maybe eventually I’ll switch to Linux on that box and do that weird set-up to get FFXIV running there.

Idk I get a lot of use from my Switch Lite when I travel. When I’m home I just play on my ps5.

Already on Linux. And proud.

I got ahead of the game a little bit by switching to Linux in 2008.

Ah yes, back when Windows Vista and KDE 3 were the hot shit… laggy shit, but still hot…

I finally committed to Linux at the end of last year. Enough is working to make it preferable to Windows now. I’m still having a lot of bugs, and it’s costing quite some time. But at least my computer is mine again. No more telemetry, ads, and UIs that treat me like a toddler. No more updates forced onto me instead of being done whenever I want it.

FirstUser,

Me too. Most things just work for me BTW. Laptop battery went from 4 hours to 10+, with better performance too. But most important for me is privacy, which is way better/easier to manage in Linux.

Ironically my laptop, which has been Linux-only since 2015 or something, has finally stopped working properly. The dedicated GPU (NVIDIA Quadro K1100M) no longer has working drivers with the kernel from Ubuntu 24.04. Then again, it wouldn’t run windows 11 either probably.
