@PetulantBandicoot @bdonvr It’s more advanced than a “Steam Big Picture Wrapper thing”. When you’re in gaming mode it runs it’s own gamescope window manager, etc. In desktop mode it’s full plasma with KWin. I’d expect it would boot into gaming mode first, with desktop as something you can switch to.

Collabora Office, tied into an instance of nextcloud. So essentially like the Google office suite but self hosted. Then Libre office if I need to do anything offline.

@theshatterstone54 @Fizz I’ve bought a physical copy of every switch game I’ve ever played on Yuzu on my Steam Deck… It was just nice having to only carry one portable about, and a superior overall gaming experience. I’ll never do business with Nintendo again over this…

@bionicjoey @sirsquid They’ve had a lot of patreon money being funnelled in for years now…

@Templa @JustEnoughDucks Yup, it’s on Linux.

@Chadus_Maximus @_Sprite Personally I go the opposite way… If a game stops working on Linux, I stop playing it… There are too many enjoyable games in the world to stick to just one 😅

@Gork @mr_MADAFAKA The deck and all these handhelds just drive game sales on Steam, which is where Valve makes all it’s money… Competition between handhelds doesn’t bother them!

@sugar_in_your_tea @fossisfun It’s also just straight-up more daunting to update an application running inside a container, and a lot harder to troubleshoot when it goes wrong.

@beesterman @lightnsfw What?!? I run games using proton on an NTFS partition just fine…

If you do this it’s safer to use lowntfs-3g so everything is forced to lower case… And yes using a proper linux filesystem is way safer.

@alwaysconfused @Peafield Can always use NixOS if you need a reproducable system that you reinstall frequently?
