The only real options for the average user are Mac or Windows. Linux just isn’t as user friendly, and a lot of the customization and flexibility of Linux is actually a determinant for non technical people.

I’m a technical person and I can’t stand Linux as a main driver. Love it for development and as a server, but it can be very janky for UI things.

• Star wars force awakens.
• Tangled
• Mulan
• Transformers
• Avatar (Blue people)

Could probably come up with more.

That would be the easiest path in my opinion. It’s great Linux exists and I use it extensively, but it’s still not as user friendly as Windows and Mac.

I’d also say that nowadays, Linux will work out of the box, but it’s not uncommon for some little things to not work correctly (accessories like docks, cameras, etc. may not work out of the box or at all).

Actually, what is weird is WSL apparently ran faster for some things like SSL and some Python Scripting.

But yeah, overhead costs will make WSL slower in almost all cases.

Yeah, but I hate android and want to run steam natively so I can play indie games.

Where is my small Linux handheld for steam. Something not targeting the AAA games?

Thanks for the info. I assume when you say that they dropped support for some libraries, you mean those libraries are no longer being maintained for the new Mac arm processors?

I’m not super familiar with how portable different libraries are against similar architectures, but assume the major issue is Mac arm chips differ enough from the mass market that progress on Linux arm won’t directly correlate to any progress with macs?

I assume the gpu translation issues are Mac specific and not all arm processors?

I didn’t think Translation layers were nearly good enough for that, otherwise why wouldnt more people use macs for gaming?

Am I missing something? SQLite is great, but it isn’t really comparable to most other SQL databases, unless you’re talking about nosql alternatives?

I can only answer two of your questions:

• How to know if a steam game is “deck verified”? There is a “Steamdeck compatability” box for every game on steam that will give on one of four statuses telling you supported/partially supported/not supported/unknown
  • That being said, steam is a bit conservative about “supported” games. ProtonDB is a more complete list of compatible games and gives guidance on how to play games steam considers “unsupported”.
• Can you use steam input for non-steam games? Games must be added/launched through steam for the steam input settings to work, so in most cases you should be able to set it up by adding the “non-steam” game to steam.

Some of the commands I use a lot for debugging containers, in case you go down that route:

• docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash <image_name>
• This command let’s you enter a docker image with bash so you can test commands and treat it like a temporary VM. Great way to see how the image is setup
• docker exec -it <container_name>
• This let’s you enter a running container with bash. A great way to inspect why something might not be working or check mounted volumes, etc.

Once you know how to use docker/containerization it’ll be the only way you want to deploy applications. Most popular applications will also have good guides on how to setup/config the container, but sometimes you’ll need to read up on docker and Linux to figure things out.

Have they gotten better? I had the first GDP Win and it was really underwhelming.

I think that’s context relevant though. If we think about when dates are most frequently used (news, business, planning) it’s typically within the year (or month will give context).

That added with the fact it’s not uncommon in some situations to just provide month/day.

That being said, I don’t think either is better or worse. Just a preference kinda thing, unlike the issue between metric and imperial units.

I also think they left a lot unexplored with the whole concept. Like cut back on the relationship and politics stuff and focus on what it means to be Mickey/clone.

I actually think their song for Mashle season 2 might be better - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZN98D5_N4M

Edit: should’ve mentioned the band is Creepy Nuts

Thanks! That helps a lot!

Out of curiosity what do you do at the protests? Is it just standing around or something more involved?

Also, whether you see it as a plus or minus, windows wsl defaults to Ubuntu. So, msoft also seems to be somewhat invested in them long term.

To add to this, perfect is the enemy of good. You probably won’t do it as well as a professional, but having it done is better than not at all (since DIY is generally cheaper.
