I think the only difference left between Oppo and “OnePlus” is the ability to unlock your bootloader… for now at least

As a person who used to do Hackintoshes I am impressed people got it to boot on a Steam Deck

“Monopoly”, other platforms are free to compete, Valve isn’t actively trying to stop them

Will probably require uPlay/Ubisoft Connect launcher anyway

Looks like another job for Gamers Nexus

It’s possible your screens electrically disconnect themselves when going to sleep, which makes Plasma refresh its desktop layout, causing flickering.

My Asus screen does this when powered off but not in standby. That used to crash Plasma Wayland back in 5.24 lol

It was jokingly called LagWiz for a reason

Wild guess but stereo equipment wasn’t a thing in households and it was a way to get the adoption going

Not OP, I’ve heard criticism of their recent Duo subscription and their bitcoin wallet.

I use Proton services and my biggest gripe is their mediocre Linux VPN app. No binaries to download/Flatpak, advertised port-forwarding isn’t fully implemented and requires playing around in a terminal, and UI feels less polished than it’s Windows counterpart.

There’s a community made Flatpak of ProtonVPN though, in case it helps anyone

The same way they got angry when got called cis

Someone at Microsoft must’ve had a stroke while writing this

Not all of them. Full scan of hardware is performed only when participating in a survey or requesting a hardware report. An example is Steam on my PC not detecting a SteamVR native headset (goggles icon doesn’t appear) until I’ll launch VR mode.

Iirc there’s a setting for Wireplumber (in case you’re using PipeWire) to disable that behaviour when a BT mic is being picked up

Thanks, it’s a heavily modified VRChat avatar called Rindo, in case you’re curious :3 : https://booth.pm/en/items/3443188

At first I was tipping my toes in Ubuntu but kept coming back to Windows as I kept running into stability issues. Googling my issues very frequently kept sending me to the Arch wiki, and I thought “well if they have so much covered, why not use this distro instead”. That and 196 subreddit (rule) made me try Arch, and my experience was noticeably better. Barely any crashes and improving Proton compatibility made me use it more and more. I kept a windows install for VR and anti-cheat enabled games until late 2023.

During my transition period (both in Linux and gender lol) between 2021 and now, I kept getting comments “why are you making your life harder with Linux, just use Windows where everything works”. Well, nowadays tables have turned and now I get to say “weird it works for me on Linux”. Except VR, it’s still a mixed experience.

Countries already phase out LTE? Where?

What war? It’s a special operation /s

If I’m not mistaken Valve said they want to release it for desktops

Try disabling the Steam Overlay, and Steam’s FPS counter if you have it on

Look up Forza Motorsport, they already came up with some “Game Services” which make it unbootable on Linux
