Steam Deck Verified games should be fine, and a lot of non-Verified games were only downgraded to “Playable” because of issues that may not matter on a desktop, like small text (what’s small on a Steam Deck screen may not be small on a monitor) or needing to manually trigger the on-screen keyboard (a desktop is usually accompanied by a physical keyboard).

Linux@programming.dev•Fix your Windows PC by Installing Linux MintEnglish
26·16 days agoMaybe I’m just picky, but I think Mint replacing the standard Firefox icon should lower its place on the list of distros for people coming from Windows. Out of their preinstalled applications, Firefox is the one a Windows user is probably the most likely to be familiar with, and out-of-the-box they’ve got it pinned to the taskbar with an icon that a Windows user won’t recognize. There’s so many other distros where a Windows user can log in and clearly spot Firefox.

2·1 month agoGoogle’s post also added that a few Privacy Sandbox technologies that have seen broad adoption would be retained.
"We will be continuing our work to improve privacy across Chrome, Android and the web, but moving away from the Privacy Sandbox branding,” a spokesperson was quoted as saying.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Using rsync for backups, because it's not shiny and newEnglish
1·2 months agoIt’s just a one-off transfer, I’m not planning to stop the transfer, and it’s my media library, so nothing should change, but I figured something resumable is a good idea for a transfer that’s going to take 12+ hours, in case there’s an unplanned stop.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate PlansEnglish
7·2 months agoIncluding Fortnite Crew in Game Pass Ultimate is a terrible justification for the 50% price increase. How many people who play Fortnite enough for Crew to be useful also play other games enough for Game Pass Ultimate to be worthwhile?

Since people don’t seem to realize that vim has a help system: You can get to this information with

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine'English
39·2 months agoHis people didn’t make their own engine; Borderlands 4 is built with UE5, and based on the performance complaints it sounds like they’re using wrong (not that UE5 is super performant when used right).
