paperless-ngx, after having to turn my apartment upside down to find some paper documents.

Beyond moderation, Phoronix is a case study in why downvotes are a good thing. Those idiots going on dumb tangents would continue, while the rest of us can read the actual worthwhile comments (which does happen, given AMD employees and the like comment there sometimes).

It’s pretty useful for systems you want to be reliable but don’t need too many customisations (like Bazzite on gaming machines).

Although if we’re counting NixOS, it’s the declarative config aspect that is the main selling point for me, with atomic updates just being part of it.

No, that’s the first I’ve heard of it too. That forum looks to be pretty active so maybe some insight can be gained there.

It’s kind of vague, but presumably it supports sd cards and/or a USB drive. The Wii is pretty easy to mod for digital “backups” from what I recall, and there were plenty of official digitally supported games (although I don’t think that still works today).

That spike in 2021 looks to be around the win11 release date, although it pretty much dropped the same amount after. Does look to be a sharper trend in adoption since then, though (with all of the caveats about what the data is measuring of course).

I was going to say that librewolf has no declarative extension config on nix, but this does. Neat.

I think it would struggle to have the bandwidth to pull that off, but maybe if you keep the resolution and refresh rate down. And that’s assuming USB-C to USB-A would work in this case, which I don’t know the answer to.

is it possible to set the steamdeck to “default” to always keep picking the steamdeck speaker as default audio out also when an HDMI is connected through the USB-C?

Some audio issues were introduced in the SteamOS 3.5 update (partly due to having to handle the OLED model around the same time) which causes the HDMI problem. Hopefully it will be fixed in SteamOS 3.6 or 3.7. I’ve found that Bazzite doesn’t have the issue, although obviously that’s an invasive change, and I understand it’s still a bit buggy with the OLED model.

how do y’all combine music and games?

I think doing what you want could be a bit technically involved. One way might be to have one device control the music, and then cast it to the deck with snapcast or similar. Then, if you can get a snapcast client on the deck to be persistently running in the background, any music that is played on the other device, will be heard on the Deck.

Or more simply, you could try pairing your Deck in bluetooth from another device, and then select that Deck as an output. This is assuming that the Deck allows this, and that your source device supports it (Android did last time I tried).

They’re keeping the 256gb LCD for now, although that could change in the future of course.

I would expect so. It might already be on the Deck, as sometimes Valve is ahead on kernel and firmware related issues.

Guaranteed good driver support too, since Valve fund devs to work on the AMD GPU drivers on Linux.

I don’t think they have yet, which is a bit of a sore point. Third party alternatives like Bazzite may do the job, though.

I wouldn’t expect HDMI 3 given the HDMI group are openly hostile to open source implementations of HDMI 2.1.

I haven’t played it on the Deck specifically yet, although it should work fine. OpenTTD, and I’ll add Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters.

I see you meant manually added games, well both can be added that way too, but it’s just easier to use Steam.

There’s also a list on !linux_gaming@lemmy.world, here

They couldn’t go “well we don’t support piracy,” because their actions proved otherwise.

They could make the argument they were working on it so it would be ready by release, but yeah, taking money for it makes them a more obvious target. That and they necessarily had to have access to the game in order to work on it (or at least others had to have access to it in order to receive bug reports on it).
