  • What is the state of updating the BIOS on the Steam Deck/Bazzite?

  • Okay, this is great. I know about ujust but didn't know it could even update the BIOS

    What is the state of updating the BIOS on the Steam Deck/Bazzite?

  • SteamOS Manager for BIOS updates, TDP and GPU clock controls now open source, mentions "Download Mode"

    Jump

  • Valve's goal with it is to "have a standardized interface so that SteamOS specific features in the Steam client, e.g. TDP management, can be exposed in any linux distro that provides an implementation of this DBus API"

    Some companies are trying to move core features under their closed source umbrella and Valve is exposing their features so that other Linux distros can make use of it.

  • Don't forget educational institutes. Linux should be the defacto OS at such places. The younger generation's first interaction with a PC is at school. If they are used to Linux from a young age, this is greatly help them ease into the Linux mindset (package manager, terminal).

  • Microsoft Rumored to Be Testing Steam Integration Within Microsoft Store (Potentially for Next-Gen Xbox, Too)

    Jump

  • why would an xbox that runs an x86_64 architecture need a translation layer to run Windows binaries?

    This is based on my partial understanding of the xbox architecture. I suspect that there is a difference between full fat Windows and the xbox OS. So certain function calls (required by Steam) are not supported by xbox OS. So it won't be a traditional layer like WINE or Proton. Just enough for certain gamestore applications to run (Epic?).

    going to be a fixed hardware Windows PC with a custom interface replacement and probably all the unnecessary services ripped out of it.

    I hope for this too. But how will traditional Xbox games run if it's just Windows? Will it have a built-in emulator running on top of Windows? Also, it will invite people to hack the device since it's a standard Windows OS. I doubt MS wants their next xbox to be so open, given their history regarding MS Store.

  • Microsoft Rumored to Be Testing Steam Integration Within Microsoft Store (Potentially for Next-Gen Xbox, Too)

    Jump

  • I'm going to assume MS is going to containerize/translate Steam somehow. So you will have the standard locked-down xbox OS for playing all xbox games + Windows/W32 translation layer for using Steam (Windows Subsystem For Xbox). All games launched via Steam will use the translation layer.

    The WSX will be cryptographically signed so that only authorized W32 applications can be executed which are pushed by MS only.

  • How can I delete the Windows 11 operating system from my laptop, which has a dual boot system?

    Jump

  • Agreed. OP should just backup their Linux home directory (Everything inside ~/) and do a fresh install. Your Linux install will thank you for that.

    Driving a manual: is it difficult?

    Jump

  • I had almost no driving experience. And I learnt driving a manual in 10 lessons (30 min each). So depending on how much time you have, you can think about learning. Do mind that it will be frustrating initially.
