I just want to know why my calculator is dependent on a webcomic reader…
Fedora KDE Plasma is my spin of choice.
- Ditch Windows
- Install Plasma
- Your computer is ready.
Oh, hey, I already did that! I’ll have you know that once I did, my computer was no longer broken and my life changed— Colors became more vivid. Birdsong sounds sweeter. Food tastes better. My wife got even hotter. And I even discovered the secret to nuclear fusion!
Joking aside, ever since switching to Linux, my machine had never run better.
Looks like Untitled Goose Game.
I use Fedora KDE Plasma and it’s wonderful, but my machine is pretty new compared to what you’ve got there. As for widgets and panels, what do you mean complex? I’ve had no issues with them.
I’m right there with you. The only difference I can think of is that if there are no other widows open, it won’t switch to viewing the desktop. (This is only actually a problem when doing something like playing a fullscreen game, as anything else can just be minimized.)
You got $30? Some of us are so poor that even $30 has to be planned and budgeted for. And most places want all $30 for the year up front and won’t split it up into monthly payments. Not everyone can just plop down $30 at a moment’s notice.
Congratulations? People pirate for a variety of reasons. No one reason is superior to the other. You gonna tell us you’re vegan and use arch, too?
Yeah this post seems kinda sus considering how many times they’ve avoided saying what game it is. And not wanting to use Steam at all? Steam is the one corp you can still have some trust in. I see a post like this and it reeks of them doing something most likely illegal in a bad way, or they are a bad actor trying to fuck with our shit again. Either that or they’re a weeb that’s too embarrassed to name the furry porn game they’re looking for.
My laptop is pretty dang portable. It may not fit in a pocket or what have you, but I carry a backpack anyway. And does windows provide emulators? I just pulled up a huge list, right on Discover Software Center and there are at least a couple different emulators for every major (and even some minor) console, handheld, arcade, and even a DOS emulator for DOS games. Hell, I even have Space Cadet Pinball on this thing. Yeah I’ve pirated on windows, and it’s not as easy, unless you’re talking about music production software, but that’s a whole other beast. Don’t get me wrong, Steam Deck is awesome and I would love to get one, but $650 is a hefty chunk of change for a lot of people, and considering I’m trying to save up for a Framework, I’m not interested in spending that kind of money right now.
Fuck the MPAA
I didn’t even buy a Steam Deck, I just switched to Linux, which is essentially what you did, just expensively.
Yeah, but practice makes perfig perfect.
Laughing? More like yelling.
Thank you so freaking much. I’m just getting started learning all this stuff and you’ve made my searching much, much easier. Sorry if I seem kinda wired— I’m already mainlining coffee for this undertaking!
Thanks for the info! Hopefully I’ll have less issue because the machine I’m on now (the one I’ll be Linux-ifying) is all AMD. I’m trying to do away with Windows in my life, but I have a well-curated collection of games, some of which are m+k only (like Bitburner) and while once I get a Deck that’ll be my main gaming platform, I still want to be able to plug a controller into my computer and blow some shit up.
Completely new to (just started looking into using) Linux. Steam Deck runs on Linux, so why is it so difficult to play games on Linux? I understand a lot of people probably don’t want to use Steam for one reason or another (pirating, access to games not available on Steam, etc.), but for those that aren’t anti-Steam, what gives?
