This is really hard to read because the writer just sprinkles in random swear words into every sentence. I get that that is the point, hence the name of the site, but still. I’m not saying swears are bad or something but this is just really overdone. Just tone it down a bit. A swear is fine every few sentences but this is like one or two “fucking” per sentence, even where it doesn’t fit.
That’s worse. You see how that is worse right?
It’s nice to appreciate people who do good things, but keep in mind that the only way people become billionaires is by exploiting people. So I would not want any of these people to be billionaires because it would mean they got that wealth not by doing good things, but by owning ridiculous amounts of capital and exploiting people.
Rant over, sorry.
I see a lot of people saying the use it every day, probably since this type of post attracts those types of people. So I will break the mold and say that I never use it.
I haven’t had a headphone jack in my last 2 phones and I haven’t missed it at all. Maybe once or twice in the last few years when I have gotten into my mom’s car which doesn’t have Bluetooth. All my headphones are Bluetooth. All my speakers are Bluetooth. If I really need a headphone jack I can still use a dongle but that almost never happens.
For me default proton “just works” usually. But I play a lot of indie games
Enabled it in-game. Tried default setting at first then raised the in-game max brightness from 1000 nits to 1200 nits to see if there was a difference but there wasn’t.
I just tried raising the deck brightness and that actually made it look a bit better. I feel kinda dumb now that I didn’t try that before. Still not the amazing difference people made it out to be but i could actually see a little bit of difference now, at least when I look at something bright.
Show them a working test that’s catching UI bugs. It’s hard to argue against facts.
Ooooh you wouldn’t believe how easy it is for some people to argue against facts.
Thanks for the input. I got confused when people said Tetris effect looked “sooo much better” with HDR and I wasn’t seeing any difference at all.
The oled deck does support hdr, dont know why some people are claiming ut doesn’t.
General HDR is not supported in Linux yet though, only in games. So videos are unfortunately not a thing I can use for comparison.
Both spider-man and Tetris supports HDR. What do you mean the deck oled display does not support it? Isn’t that the main thing it advertises?
Sorry I should have been more clear. I’m using the steam deck oled with the regular display, not an external display.
Check the arch wiki. There are config files you can edit to choose what is displayed, there is also the GUI frontend goverlay which I would recommend.
I have just heard it mentioned in regards to both the steam deck and smartphones with high refresh rates. I don’t know by how much the battery is affected but I know that lower refresh rate draws less. That why smartphones have variable refresh rate and lower their refresh rate to like 1hz when nothing is happening on screen. You can Google it if you want more info
50hz draws less battery so my guess is that they assume players who cap their frame rate at 25 are more in need of battery life over low latency, because why else would you cap it that low?
Idk but that’s what I would do
A terminal file manager like ranger is pretty useful
This gets posted like once per week and this is inaccurate as shit.
“Wayland is bad, it can’t run xorg programs”
Ok but there is an exact copy of the program that is made for Wayland. It’s the same argument that Windows users use to discredit Linux .
“Linux is bad because it can’t run programs that were made for Windows”
My favorite part is where he admits to being mad without even knowing what Wayland is.
Edit: When I wrote the above, I didn’t really realize what Wayland even was, I just noticed that some distributions (like Fedora) started pushing it onto me and things didn’t work properly there.
