Yeah the two last games are really great and I enjoyed them so much on Steam Deck.

Well from what I saw in Gardiner’s review of the video, Linus was encouraging people to use Linux.

Well there is something kind of exciting about running Linux on Apple or Surface hardware once it gets really cheap and isn’t supported anymore.

Of course, if you buy it new, it’s different.

For me, it’s either I get Linux friendly new stuff or dirt cheap Apple/Surface hardware in second/third hand…

Oh yes you’re right, but then let’s say that a lot of great games were published by EA.

I don’t know about clicking, except that with the trackpads I struggle to click correctly, but I think my Steam Deck always restarted in game mode.

I’d have to check again though…

While I share your grippes, I would want to add two different ones:

-Auto saves are great, but not when the game doesn’t allow you to restart a level.

For instance, late in Metro 2033, I had almost no more air to go further. I was lucky enough to just have enough to keep going. Had it not been the case, I’d have probably had to start the game from scratch again as you can’t just restart a level or load a previous « safe » save

-Cross platform saves and achievements

My gaming PC is a Steam Deck, so it doesn’t have much power. That’s why I still buy my demanding games on Playstation 5 with the intent of getting them on Linux in the future. I fully understand, why I’d need to rebuy a copy of these games to play them on PC, but I don’t understand why it’s not possible to share a save between different systems. Same for the linked achievements.

Thanks!

I think you just have to make the jump and install a distro on your computer while accepting that it’s not because you don’t like the first distro that all of them are the same.

Once the first step is done and your old OS isn’t around anymore, you’ll be forced to find something suited to your needs.

Do you plan on installing Linux on your Mac? If it’s Intel based it’s easy, but if it’s an M model your choices are more restricted…

Huge thanks as it seems to have solved the issue🙏🙏

Having music in peertube would be nice, but I think the artist would have to have some kind of paywall or a Patreon…

When working properly, my Go 1 is perfect and I don’t need more power. So I wouldn’t want to get rid of it and would prefer solving the problem.

But, if one day it dies, I would try to find something more Linux friendly, even if using Microsoft or Apple devices to do something they were not designed for is also quite nice😅

I’ve never heard of btop but I can look at it👍

But wouldn’t it be weird for it to be temperature related when the computer was just started and unplugging/plugging the external screen solve the issue? This would make think it’s display related no?

Yeah I guess you’re right, my last chance of solving the problem could be by creating a spreadsheet with as much data as possible on every occurrence…

I don’t think it would be a thrilling investigation though😅

What are IO and Iotop?

So here should I just delete the Boxtron part?

Apparently DOSBox Staging still has some data on the Deck. Should I delete it too?

Apparently the BIOS is up to date even if my knowledge about these is quite limited…

About something dying in the computer, it would be surprising as it has been like this for the last 4 years and only happens maybe once a month after starting…

I guess I should have said it before, but it happens when starting the computer, sometimes a week after an update, so I don’t think it’s heat related. Especially because it sometimes solves itself after unplugging/plugging the external monitor through USB-C.

Heroic is fine enough for me except that I would want it to have background downloads on Steam Deck and better achievements integration.

If we get this, I don’t need anything official from GOG even if more official Linux support is always welcome😇

Well I did everything through the app manager (Discover), so I don’t know how I could have made mistake…

I guess I just deleted DOSBox stagging/Boxtron after noticing that they were not needed…To be honest, I was a bit lost.

How do you that? Should I reinstall Dosbox stagging just to get rid of these messages?
