That’s perfectly fine. You can mix and match. Only downside is that you get all the dependencies from different DEs as well.

You now are locked in a wicked battle of the wits with your own personal nemesis.

The biggest news is that Slashdot is still alive.

On BTRFS you could use deduplication to make the prefixes take up approximately no extra space. But that requires you to run a deduplication program every once in a while.

Its compression feature can also save some space and decrease load times.

But the impact of this stuff isn’t that big. Much easier to just go ext4 and be done.

No, VR works on Linux. One of the easier ways to get it running on something like Meta’s Quest 3 is Valve’s Steam Link. And older tethered headsets like Valve’s Index work as well.

And there are even open source solutions like ALVR to work with streaming headsets.

It’s kind of sluggish. I don’t know if that is the case but it feels like an Electron application. Basically a website running in Chrome with an integrated backend.

GOG is now owned by Michał Kiciński, one of the original founders. He can do whatever he wants.

How do you get from it literally running on SteamOS to not “ready for a full OS”?

Those problems started with 7 when JJ set up a nonsensical galaxy without any explanations in mind. 7 was a fun movie but had terrible world building. That set up all subsequent movies for failure.

The sequel trilogy lacked an overarching story. It was idiocy that they didn’t have someone oversee the big picture with one coherent story in mind. Those problems started with 7 and just got more and more apparent.

You don’t have to replace your boss. Just help them organise stuff. A healthy (in capitalist terms) company is steadily growing, making management more and more complex.

Maybe they want to get a promotion themselves. Having someone already available to pick up their responsibilities gives them better arguments for their own promotion.

Have you told your boss (or his boss) that you want to lead a department? Most bosses I had would have been open to such a suggestion and worked out a path to that.

Otherwise look for a job that specifically offers a leadership position.

But it’s still a full fledged ARM computer running SteamOS including full desktop support. It’s just a matter of time until you can put a mainline Linux distribution on it and have it do whatever you want.

My guess is that Valve market it as a streaming-first device because they don’t have as many VR titles in their catalogue that can run on it as Meta has for the Quest. It’s a safer bet not to rely on devs porting their lighter games to the Frame.

And if they do not manage to get Alyx running on it comfortably nobody will blame them because they never promised it in the first place.

But it is not an exclusively tethered device. Never was. It is a full on gaming PC. Just not one with the power to run newer games. But it’s plenty powerful enough to run all of the Team Beef ports. And besides playing those and lighter flat games I will enjoy playing around with a fully functional Linux OS on a VR headset.

Give Star Wars to JJ, huh? He’ll make it better, huh?

Yeah, they’ve been working on that for a while now. 10 was the first version with preliminary support and it’s getting better and better. My guess is we’ll see it as the default in 12 or 13.

Hopefully Steam will get native Wayland support as well. Gaming Mode on the Steam Deck is a Wayland compositor that starts two XWayland instances, one for Steam and one for the game.

Nice!

Sounds like something that would be well suited for integration into umu.

Yeah, but the Frame is one of the few headsets that will enable us to use this stuff directly on the headset.

Try to get yourself a console with a lightgun like a NES. Those game are basically only possible on a CRT.

Frick, my desire to have a Steam Frame is rising daily.

My guess is the point is anti bot. Not necessarily Lemmy bots but just normal crawlers hammering the server.
