The modding is the true game

I guess if you don't mind it becoming e-waste in a few years like the Q1 is near to being. You are practically at the mercy of Meta deciding what you can do with the device. There are some projects like ALVR to mitigate this somewhat, but these platforms are being locked down in more sophisticated ways with each generation.

TES4 a.k.a Oblivion on OpenMW is looking better every time cc9cii posts a new video!

Arch-Mage Traven's sacrifice was not in vain.

I feel the same, though having more options for lightweight DEs is better. I came from gnome 2 after Ubuntu switched to Unity DE back in the day. Xubuntu ran nice on all of my kids low power devices and it became my desktop as well ever since. It's just as happy on my work laptop as well as Ryzen thread ripper with 3 rtx4000s and 3 magewell hdmi capture cards we use for visualization at work too. It really feels like a solid DE with less fuss than most.

I guess this means that not having to rely on dkms for hardware means being able to run the latest kernels without the hardware being disabled.

I found PROTON_LOG %command% insightful.

Pretty sure there is no absolute universal position, everything in the universe being in motion relative to everything else as the universe expands, but that does not disprove your point anyways.

The only one that matters right now is the one that gets put on next.

For all the people missing the point of this comic particularly in the U.S.: Look at who has held political and financial power for the last two hundred years, including this one. There are lots of pictures and paintings of people. Do you notice anything in common between nearly all of them besides having wealth and power? Think about the position of everyone else not fitting that description and tell us all again why you personally feel attacked and why this comic is not relevant.

thank you for easing my personal self-loathing a bit!

This thing is tiny and coupled with XReal or Viture glasses it makes for a very portable, very powerful (Ryzen 7 7840U with eight Zen 4 cores and an RDNA 3 Radeon 780M, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) game system that is much faster than many handheld systems without the weight and neck strain. In contrast, with the Steamdeck I found myself preferring a kb/mouse or pairing another controller and it was hard to find a comfortable position to play from without hooking it to a monitor.

Debian Xfce testing (Trixie) works really well though I had to install some packages such as joystick and blueman and a few steps to install Steam, the effort was well worth it. I did not want a SteamOS distro because I'd prefer Debian's package management and I like the support and versatility this distro has.

Weak points of using the XReal is that the edges are a little out of focus and one might need prescription inserts (I do not). Otherwise, they are very lightweight and I can be comfortable anywhere. They are also great for watching movies plugging into a phone that has display port capable usb-c (though I recommend a dongle that allows charging the phone while viewing). The glasses also have 3DOF that can be used to move your view (as a mouse or joystick would) while gaming but that requires a driver . Coupled with SideBySide 3D mode on the glasses and in Minetest it's very immersive!

As far along as emulation has come, I'd like to see a proper Little Big Planet port with multi-player and local server support.

This is why is why it bugs me when car manufactures design EVs without a charging port on the passenger side.

I think this is really the way going forward with portable gaming.

  • Lighter and smaller handheld
  • A large screen experience in a portable package
  • Privacy
  • Not having to hold the handheld device oriented to view it
  • Replaceable battery is a big plus too!

There is no mention of Linux as the OS but it looks as friendly to Linux gaming as any other AMD based handheld device beside the Steam Deck.

Awesome minimalist synthpop from Jess Brett!

This puts the concept of Disney employees in costumes as "cast members" in a rather diminished light.
