The game was okay, but clearly worse than the first one.

I also got annoyed by the fact that the main character was a nice sensitive guy willing to kill 20 security guards just doing their daily job😅

Thanks for the detailed answer👍

Loved the first 2 on Dreamcast, started the 3rd one and couldn’t tell if my taste had evolved so much or if the game was just bad. I never finished it despite funding it on kickstarter…

I bought an used LCD model a few months ago and got surprised by the quality of its screen.

Of course the LCD might be better (haven’t tested it), but I’m really happy with my screen.

What would be the benefits?

I only got interested in it because you could have gnome instead of Kde in desktop mode, but I haven’t heard about other benefits and there are pribably downsides too.

That was it! Thanks

In game mode, clicking on the list would only show me the Linux version.

In desktop mode it allowed me to select the Windows version 👍

Every game works on my Steam Deck so far.

I always check ProtonDB before buying a game, but I might stop as everything without special anticheat works out of the box.

I just have to add that I’m not into multiplayer games so it might be why everything works easily.

It’s a really good topic as I was also wondering if installing deckyloader would be worth it and if it would affect my Deck’s performance.

I’m not gonna spoil anything bit I didn’t enjoy the story.

Maybe it’s just me and I would play it again if it was a 20 hours game, but it’s too long for me to give it another chance.

I loved the ambiance and gameplay though. I think I enjoyed the first one more because the story wasn’t bad, but it has been ages…

Agreed. I’m really happy with my combo of a used LCD Steam Deck and a Surface Go with Fedora hooked to a screen.

Although I still need my Playstation 5 for demanding games.

I tried running Frostpunk 1 on the MacBook Pro 2012 (upgraded with an SSD and 16gb of Ram) and it wouldn’t boot despite the fact that it’s an old game and that I tried some special settings and commands.

I guess you can still play some games on ot, but many are out of reach, even some of the ones you’d think would be playable…

That is what I’m using on a 2012 MacBook Pro with some upgrades.

It works really well except for when there is an update to the wifi broadcom drivers. Then I have to use my phone to provide internet through USB.

Otherwise it’s a beast but gaming is out of the question.

Thanks, I might try it some day then👍

It’s just a shame that apparently you can’t link the resolution and fps to the TDP profile you’re using.

Oh that’s interesting.

Sounds complicated but doable. Have you ever used it?

I guess most people would not only want to easily reinstall all their apps, but also the settings related to them.

Sadly that’s the difficult part.

When I see how much time it takes me to have all my calendar and settings in Thunderbird.

Luckily for Thunderbird you can save your profile if everything takes less than 2gb, but it’s still a hassle to find a way to backup every program.

Yes I heard about it but apparently NixOS is quite complex and not accessible to someone like me who considers himself as an eternal Linux newbie.

I’ve never tried an immutable OS, but I’d love if the ability to do system backups and redeploy to another computer was just part of any OS.

Especially when Linux encourages you to distro hopp.

Clonezilla is great but it already happened to me that one backup wasn’t deployable on another (really old) computer

I’m looking forward to getting an old ARM computer and installing Linux without any worry one day🤞

Sadly I don’t think you have these in gaming mode.

Maybe in desktop mode though since Steam OS uses KDE.

Agreed, but carrying two phones, charging them and paying for them would be too annoying and wasteful.

But I know that my employer could see a lot of my infos if he wanted to. Luckily I trust my employer way more than all these companies like Apple or Google who already have acces to our data.
