I could have sworn you received an oscar for your performance in the 2018 masterpiece “The Hardening”, but I guess my memory has played me.

I consider this my “Mandela-Effect” moment.

Hello Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie.

Have you forgotten that you were not only nominated, but also won in the past?

They have not learned anything about the dangers of trusting proprietary solutions.

Thank you, Oscar-winning actress Margot Robbie.

which instance of theseu’s ship am I?

There are companies selling “gaming pillows”. Don’t fall for the gamer tax, though, IKEA will sell you a breastfeeding pillow called LEN for a fraction of the price, which is essentially the same thing.

That’s one possible workaround, but that will, obviously, break stuff like cloud saving and achievement progress. So, not ideal, but probably viable for some situations.

Family Sharing enables you to play games from other family members’ libraries, even if they are online playing another game

That’s a great first step, but I would also like to be able to play another game from my own library on another device (e.g. steam deck and pc) at the same time

This looks like a reduction in base price, as the steam store pages do not mention any discount percentage.
price should be permanent.

Dont play shitty games whose devs(or rather the companys behind) purposefully fuck up to not let it run on Linux

I don’t. Most games I play are single player indie titles that run perfectly fine on the steam deck. I’m merely pointing out that people also like to play multiplayer games, and particularly in the competitive games, anti cheat software is often used to thwart cheaters and unfortunately that anti cheat software is often incompatible with linux/proton, either by lack of consideration or on purpose.

you should be mad at them not searching for the fault at valve or Linux.

At no point did I blame valve or linux for these issues, feel free to point out where I did that. I was clearly blaming the game developers that implement such “features” to the detriment of linux users.

All I was saying that your “solution” to “just install linux” is, unfortunately, not something that universally works for everyone.

Look, Linux is great and all, and with the ammount of effort VALVE puts into proton, gaming does work very well with it. But unfortunately, particularly when it comes to multiplayer games, Linux/Proton can often not be a viable alternative to Windows. A lot of game developers are working against proton compatibility by using anti cheat software that either doesn’t support proton or actively detects and prevents using proton.

It looks like it is an issue with Decky Loader https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/issues/586

It was over 9 years ago when Russia invaded Ukraine with their little green men.

Yes, I’ve also crosschecked with using 11ac only mode with reduced channel width, but the steam deck would still lose connection frequently.

Only when I combined it with mixed network mode, would connection be stable.

Also note, that none of my other devices (tablet, phone, quest2) had any issues with 11ac/80MHz, only the steam deck was unstable.

I fondly remember the old opera days, up until the latest presto version, 12.18. If you knew what you were doing, you were able to fully customize the entire browser, all of it’s toolbars and context menus, it was incredible.

Once they switched over to the Blink engine, all of that was lost. It’s entire USP gone, just like that.

I’ve tried Opera 2 or 3 years back, just to see what it is like, and it’s just another pointless chromium based browser, offering nothing to keep me using it, and the more i see posts and ads from this company, the more I feel like I made the right choice.

I’ve also tried the “spiritual successor” to Opera 12, Vivaldi, but it too couldn’t win me back over from Firefox.

It’s the square cutout on the ears that absolutely sells it.

x + 2 = x - 2

I found x, twice even. EZ

“ricing” in this context means heavily modifying the layout, theme and usability of the desktop environment.

It’s a term used in the Linux community and I believe it originally comes from the automotive tuning community, particularly the JDM (Japanese domestic market) subscene.

Downloading via a 2.4GHz wifi set up on the same dd-wrt router seems to be more stable, but also a lot slower.

When downloading via desktop mode, when the connection drops out, I can not access any website using the browser. It seems as if there is an issue with the wifi driver when using 5GHz wifi.
