  • (Solved) Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck

    Jump

  • Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing?

  • Thanks for the detailed answer👍

  • 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.

  • (Solved) Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck

    Jump

  • 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 👍

  • how is linux for gamers?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What's your preferred way of buying games? (digital/physical/physical digital)

    Jump

  • It’s true that I forgot that you can just uninstall them if you don’t plan on replaying them😅

  • Steam Deck:

    • Steam for most games because of ease of use on the Deck and what they provide to the Linux world
    • GOG for old games with no achievments (I’d buy more from them if they were more Linux oriented, but I also understand they can’t do everything)

    Playstation 5:

    • physical except for a few exceptions as I want to be able to resell games I don’t like. I buy new physical games when I know I’m gonna love a game and used when I ain’t sure

  • I agree about the fact that having digital games is great for just launching them without leaving your chair, but managing your digital storage space can be a bigger hassle in some cases

  • [Help] How stable are Decky Loader and its plugins in 2025 ?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Linux on a 2014 macbook air?

    Jump

  • 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..

  • Linux on a 2014 macbook air?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Separate power profiles for docked/handheld mode

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Separate power profiles for docked/handheld mode

    Jump

  • Oh that’s interesting.

    Sounds complicated but doable. Have you ever used it?

  • Method to save your favorite Linux apps for reinstall

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Why do atomic distros not contain good backup tooling by default?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Why do atomic distros not contain good backup tooling by default?

    Jump

  • 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

  • Linux on Snapdragon X Elite: Linaro and Tuxedo Pave the Way for ARM64 Laptops

    Jump

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

  • Separate power profiles for docked/handheld mode

    Jump

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

    Maybe in desktop mode though since Steam OS uses KDE.
