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 love these mini game blog posts. A good way to understand the vibes of some games, will help me figure out what to play next, thank you

I also love when I make posts like these. It’s easy for me to make my lighter posts where I just talk about what i did and the game, but I feel like posts like these really showcase that I’m enjoying a game and what it’s all about

I’ve just got a tiny retro gaming console and it’s great to make the most of tiny time gaps. Really need to make a whole post about it.

Which one did you get?

cRazi_man,

Retroid Pocket 4 Pro.

It’s been so good. I sit at my desk and neglect my gaming PC and Steam Deck to play this thing. 2 weeks later I’m still in the honeymoon phase with it.

Been meaning to give it a try. Hopefully later this week.

Thanks for your post!

It’s fun. It could definitely use some work in some places, and if you’ve ever played Ark it shares a lot with that (both the positives and flaws), with a little bit of Satsifactory. But I’ve found it to be addicting, so much so I’ve been sneaking in small sessions using my Steam Deck

@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

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.

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

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

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.

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

I want to move to Linux, but I need to be able to use the VPN service my work uses and I’m just not sure how to get it working on Linux. I should just dual boot.

@tomenzgg@midwest.social avatar

Dual-booting was how I first got into Linux; it truly leaves open the ability to keep everything you’re worried about not having.

What’s the VPN?

techognito,
@techognito@lemmy.world avatar

Without prodding too much into what VPN you work uses

Most VPN solutions run on linux just fine, even Microsoft PPTP VPN solution works fine. I would probably check with your IT department what protocol they use and any connection caveats (like machine certificates used for authentication) and look into the different VPN solutions (some examples; WireGuard and OpenVPN are very well supported, IPSec (libreswan or strongswan are options here) depends on setup, PPTP/L2TP should work with most setups (I have to admin I havn’t touched those enough), vpnc works with Cisco base IPsec setups and openconnect works with most SSL VPN connection)

@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

It’s Watchguard. Though looking at their site, it seems like there might be support that I wasn’t able to find last time I looked into this. Definitely want to dual boot at some point. I’ve got a Surface Book 3 though, and I know it needs special kernel stuff to get working properly, so I’d almost rather just wait until my boss retires and everyone’s out of a job to dive into Linux. Easier than finding spare time in my life. Living the dream

techognito,
@techognito@lemmy.world avatar

I have not any experience with WatchGuard, but it from some quick searching around it seems to not be far from the easiest to set up for linux. dual-booting is probably the easier solution.

I hope you find a solution to what sounds like not the best life situation, and may you have an otherwise have a nice Linux journey.

@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry for that, it gets hard sometimes when I start accidentally living the examined life for a second

Already on Linux. And proud.

Who the hell downvotes these posts‽

I love the daily stories.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I had one person tell me that they feel like they’re too many daily so they’re blocking and downvoting. I’m not sure whether that applies to any of the other people. Only 3 people as far as I can remember have been vocal about downvoting

Ghyste,

That’s too bad. I really enjoy you talking through what you’re doing, and you play a lot of games I haven’t played yet. Keep it up, I say!

frog_brawler, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

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).

Logical, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

I think I will switch to Linux, possibly dual boot with Win 11 just in case there are games I can’t play on Linux.
