I don’t own the game nor gave I played it, but a friend was telling me the game has a lot of interactable things in-world so perhaps they meant you can actually turn off the alarm in-game.
I hope they ditch Windows and use SteamOS or any Linux variant at this point.
The Steam Deck’s OS is one of its best features and Windows is not viable for handheld devices.
And what’s better is that it’s free! There is no reason to slap on an extra $100 to pass onto the consumer because you had to pay some corporation a license for using their OS, giving them more market share they don’t deserve.
One of the best and most needed features of a handheld has to be the standby feature too. The ability to “lock” the device mid-gameplay and come back to it is not only good but necessary. Windows doesn’t have anything like this but SteamOS on the Deck does!
And if they want to one-up the Deck, PLEASE give us more than one USB port. Even if it is USB Type C and a USB A port, that’s better than one port that has to be shared for charging and everything else.
Yea, just got to that part. It also seems that they plan on keeping the previous subscriptions running while additionally leeching off successfully games.
At least the free games don’t have to pay the penalty.
I’m dual booting with Windows because of a project I’m finishing that would be difficult to move OS, but Cachy is now my gaming OS. It’s nice to move away from the “forced” behavior from Windows.
Tangentially, a few UI decisions felt locked-in on Ubuntu and Mint too; or at least I couldn’t find an easy way to change them. I’m still a little annoyed my scroll wheel changes form options but it’s a minor thing.
Same, picked it up on a whim a few months before the shutdown, couldn’t put it down. They got the tone perfectly, and the map is really good, and their progression system actually requires you to play the game. It felt magical, like a NFS World sequel of my dreams, the only downside was trying to set up steering properly.
Then i tried the crew 2, and haven’t tried it since, just doesn’t feel as good.
I am figuring on switching once Arch Desktop SteamOS is officially released. I want Linux’s privacy, without technical irritations and official support from an 800-lb gorilla.
My issue is that one might be alone on their obscure distro. I tried out Bazzite, but hit a fair number of issues getting stuff to run and my UI to look how I wanted. It contains many emulation layers to run packages made for other distros, but if they don’t quite work out of box, you can’t just look up the tutorial commands built for the other platforms.
My next go might be something popular like Mint or Ubuntu just to make issue searches easier.
I’d absolutely prefer getting away from the command line, but no distro I’ve tried has fulfilled that promise; there’s always something I’d like a certain way where there’s no intuitive UI to make that setting change.
I’m just knowledgable enough it doesn’t scare me off, it just annoys me.
Not quite enough for me, personally. I am somewhere between casual and power user, so a “normie” distribution like SteamOS is probably where I want to be. Tried out Mint, but there was teething issues when I tried to customize my game install locations and whatnot. Lutris, Heroic, and so forth all had issues at that time, several months ago.
I play lots of indie and Japanese games, so having stuff reliably work without diving into a terminal is important for me.
