I still haven’t gotten to give it a full proper go. But Toolbx is designed to assist with development on immutable OSs. Let’s you do regular package installs for all the various Dev tools into a container. Can either install your IDE into the container and run it like a regular app, or use an IDE with built-in Dev Container support.

I set this up on my Steam Deck when I first got it. It plays really well on the deck.

Glad to see it as a Flatpak. Looks like it’s an ed version though. Shows as v5 for me, but direct download from their website is v7.

How are you checking the size? Some tools will split file size based on the number of hard links. So a 10GB file may show as 5GB in folder A and the other 5GB in folder B.

Also, if you’re using Docker. Its crucial that your downloads and media directories are listed as a single volume. If it’s two volumes, it’ll copy rather than hard link.

I did pick the DBrand Kill Switch case (including. skin and screen protector) for both me and my partner. It was on the pricer side, but I’m pretty happy with it. Feels quite good to hold and certainly rugged enough to protect it. The skins also stop us from getting each others decks mixed up.

As for a dock, I picked up the Anker one and it’s alright. Would have preferred the official one, but everywhere was charging a hefty price for importing it.

I already had a hefty battery pack for travelling. Haven’t needed it much myself, but my partner recently made good use of it for an international flight.

I bought some gray imports a couple of months ago. Cost me about $100 more than Valve’s official AU prices, for the 1TB OLED.

My partner and I have been playing them both pretty much constantly since then. Very happy with them.

I’ve got a few old PCI cards around somewhere. I should pull one of them out and give them a try at this.

My bonus just came in today. Was planning to order one of these this week. Not sure of I’ll wait to see what’s happening at PAX. All they’ve said so far is that Steam will be there.

Proton is not the same as a VM. It has direct access to your filesystem. It could delete your entire home directory if it wanted to.

Even if it doesn’t look as good, it’ll hopefully include some better APIs that extensions can utilise to improve their experience. E.g. hide the native tabs.

FYI for anyone interested. Immich is a open source, self hosted system for photos/videos like Google Photos. It uses machine learning locally for facial and general image recognition.
