I can’t hear about this game and not remember that some boomer actor thinks Belatro is going to destroy humanity, because it’s addictive.

Synergy has always been my go-to for a software KVM. It’s currently only $30, and it works great. I paid for a license probably a decade ago, and I’ve more than recouped my utility cost.

Looks interesting. I’m into PvE games, especially sci-fi ones, and I appreciate the fact that the dev is actively avoiding microtx. The aesthetic kind of reminds me of Death Stranding.

I probably won’t buy it very early on, but I would consider it if it was closer to release.

Spiral is Debian. Like Endeavor, it’s primarily a way to install Debian with a few sane defaults and graphical choosers to install other software. Otherwise, it’s just Debian.

Try it in a VM. I was surprised how fast it was even in that limited environment, and if not for the fact that I want/need a newer kernel, I might have chosen that one.

But otherwise, sounds like you’ve kind of already chosen.

The only time I haven’t been able to do something was with a VPN client that came as a self-executing tarball. Because it tries to mess with Network Manager on the fly, it doesn’t work correctly.

So there’s a handful of weird edge cases, but I agree that the majority can be solved with podman or distrobox.

You might look at Aurora or Bluefin, if Bazzite wasn’t your cup of tea. They’re more of a vanilla distro while being part of the Universal Blue family. They also have DX variants for devs, if that’s something you want.

I haven’t had trouble messing with configs on Bazzite, so I wonder what you need to tweak that isn’t possible on an immutable system.

Look into Spiral Linux if you want to go with Debian. I believe it includes several quality of life improvements while being mostly just an easy way to install Debian (kind of like how EndeavorOS is for Arch).

ETA: also, look at NixOS, since it might be the combination of stability and semi-mutability you’re looking for.

It’s not really random internet strangers’ place to judge someone’s parenting choices. We don’t know their overall parenting style, the personality of the child, what lessons they may be trying to teach, etc. The only thing we know for certain is that they want to use parental controls, perhaps to ensure they stay safe as they learn how to use the internet responsibly while also having a level of autonomy.

That’s not helicopter parenting, that’s just prudent.

Pretty sure it’s a 2.5" HDD.

That interesting. Well, at least you found something that works!

Why did you rebase, if you don’t mind my asking?

Also, wait until Christmas if you can. Most computer parts have their deepest sale then (it’s not Black Friday, surprisingly).

I noticed an issue in my rig with choppy framerates, and it was at least partly because the second SSD that was loading all the textures was overheating and throttling. I added a heatsink to it, and it fixed a lot of the problems.

Nouveau is not appropriate for gaming. NVK is potentially a contender for the RTX and above cards, but it’s still in development, so YMMV greatly.

Otherwise, you’re stuck with the proprietary drivers. You might see about installing an X11 session, though. I believe Bazzite installs both Wayland and X11 for Nvidia users for this reason.

Druidry is/was an ancient practice that was inherently spiritual but was likely an early analog to scientific inquiry, with an emphasis on passing that knowledge down and ensuring new members became experts in their own right.

They bargained with the University I used to work for to get us things like:

• 37.5hr work weeks and still receiving full-time benefits and pay
• Good vacation accrual rates
• A guaranteed effort to move union employees into other open positions if theirs is cut
• Legal help/advice/action when Directors, etc. overstepped our rights (which I personally had to make use of)
• Paid by the hour. No salary/after-hours bullshit.

Also, I feel like they kinda deserve it for being global vexatious litigants and squashing free fan projects at every opportunity.

If it happens, do post to !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz. I know lots of people would be interested.

That’s cool. I agree that it’s not as portable as some other options, but it wouldn’t be able to do what it does if it was.

That’s why there’s still good options out there for everyone! It’s a great time for gaming.

I would actually recommend Spiral Linux if somebody new wanted to go with Debian. It’s the Debian analog to Endeavor.
