• Take Steam Deck
• Wipe OS and install Bazzite/Nobara
• Install Heroic Launcher / Non Steam Launcher
• Install games from them

Nuclear apocalypse happens and internet is down

• Get ISOs of games in a USB drive
• Plug it into the deck and install

Hi there, just a small correction. Compared to existing linux distros, it’s slightly different. Steam OS is an immutable OS, which means you can’t edit the root partition (Like you can’t edit the C:\ drive in Windows). This is both good and bad.

Good -> Users can’t mess up their device while trying to mess around with it. Updates are smooth because Valve knows the previous state of the OS.

Bad -> It’s bad only for extreme power users as it’s not fully customizable. You can’t run your own kernel, install certain build packages to do some advanced stuff. But this is a tiny tiny bad.

Overall, Steam OS is great and I believe will be the gateway for the general PC crowd.

Steam Deck + USB type C dock + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller. You’re done

You mean to say that my great-grandson can finally play Destiny 2 on Linux? Sweet!

I haven’t seen many mentions of Nobara but you can try it out.

It’s essentially a gaming-centric version of Fedora. I was in your position a few weeks back and decided upon thing. Latest drivers and packages.

I was discussing this a few months back; an immutable fs is way more secure for gaming compared to Windows.

I have a question for you, coming from a long time Linux user. How do you decide which car to buy? There are so many options, each have their own mileage, comfort, capabilities. Would you say it’s difficult buying a car?

Temple OS : Excuse me?

“this is not CAPTCHA! It’s just clicking, with style”

Microsoft breaks bootloader and nixes Linux partition

Microsoft: “patch seems to be working as intended”

Hi there, I can see that the thief is currently using the device. Will it be possible to send a link via my friend saying “Yo bro, check this meme. This girl is crazzyyyy <link>” which, once clicked, gets the GPS coordinate?

For example, it’s possible via browser to get the location of a device. Can the same thing be done on Linux? I can create a simple nginx webserver on my spare server but unsure about how to proceed.

Can I share a game with my relative who lives in a different country? Or does it need to be under the same Wi-Fi network?

Google and Apple worked together to provide cross device notifications

One of the rare instances of collaboration where it actually matters.

Somehow this news flew under the radar for me

Thanks a lot! I wanted something like AirTag but for Android. I am convincing myself to wait for the Steam Deck OLED 2. I’ll buy the tracker and put it under a decal or something.

True, but I would have been filled with regret if I never even tried the official way of recovering it :(

is trying to get you to drop the issue so they don’t have more paperwork.

I had to visit 3 police stations before they agreed to take my case

Can you give me a little more detail on this? How to enable it and does it work on devices without GPS?

Hug it again for my sake :(

But by reporting it you remove THEIR obligation to provide warranty to someone that innocently buys a used steam deck

It should teach the person never to buy stuff without an original invoice. The buyer should understand it’s a stolen product when they opened it and saw that there is an active account associated with it AND the charger is not included.

I’m pretty sure about it. I put the Deck in the bag, put the bag in the house and leave. After I come back, it’s gone. There was no one else other than the workers.

While they belong to Urban Company, they were called as external agents for this particular job by my renter.
