Got a framework 13 the steam deck kicks its butt in everything. No competition especially for the price

Considering I got my deck last week, not surprising

If I had to guess, the game isn’t gamepad optimized i.e. CIV 5, so the game is marked as a keyboard game.

Just shows how well steam input works.

This is a lot. Buggier than I’d thought it’d be.

Tried to change the background color and it crashes the settings app. Search works for exact spelling only and not context or meta data. Search for image and music and you’ll get nothing.

However there is a lot of potential and it’s what I’d install on a MacBook as an alternative. Maybe next release would be good.

MEGA Man 2 is the go to and read strategy guides for the boss order.

The games are hard and unfair, but mastering them is where the fun is.

Also Make sure you have the option for a turbo button.

I like gnomes features but not gnome itself. Cinnamon is good, but has its faults. Plasma is better but is missing online features (calendar for example can’t be used to create events or sync with your cloud accounts). Really would like to see how Comic a desktop turns out when it’s ready.

Shhhh, she might hear you and totally wasn’t my plan.

If my original Steam Controller dongle wasn’t destroyed I’d totally test it too.

These controllers worked on my friends system.

My wife is aiming to get a Steam Machine when they become available. This steam deck is taking the place of it until then for me.

It’s no worse then my older consoles and the alternatives from Ayn or Ambernic, and the facts it’s being consider and worked on is a positive.

Honestly I’m just going to treat it like my PS2. Just need to put my controller near the deck if I want to use it.

If valve is working on it (which it looks like they are) it’s a matter of if than when

Thanks, no clue why it was so hard to find this, hopefully it’s something that’ll be enabled in the future.

According to other comments, they are supposed to be transparent… then he ate butter chicken or some food with dye.

I think we’ve hit the end times for AI. The biggest player in the space OpenAI couldn’t be profitable by selling its services to business, nor directly to consumers. Subscription moneys nor licensing its models is working too. So the last avenue they have is this, shilling to marketers hoping for scrap.

On top of Nvidia having to stop selling RAM I think the breaks are about to hit AI and hard once the current supply runs out. I wonder how long that could take?

I agree, for a new user everything including installing nvidia drivers is in a GUI. And if you run into issue due to the size of both Mint and its base Ubuntu, searching for the problems usually results in a solution.

Usually their out going ones are like half off during sales. Currently the 7 is at half off $630 CAD. Which I think is what I paid for my 6 and is the same price as the Forerunner… onsale.

That said the 7 is the newest fenix id buy now that Garmin is ditching the MIPs display for AMOLED.

Really hate that we are moving away from front lit MIPs displays. Only the Enduro has it and it’s not cheap.

It was very very onsale, and at the time I was bouldering so I wanted to track it.

Currently using it as a swim watch and if I get a new pebble, I will still be using it as my exercise computer.

I have a Pebble Time and when the app stopped working a Garmin Fenix.

I use my smart watch predominantly for Text notifications, call screening and music control.

In the past this was to extend my phone to last more than a day. But now it’s so I don’t need to dig up my phone when I get a notification or call. Great for monitoring things when you are driving or walking.

The biggest benefits of these devices is the insane battery life. Like a Garmin the battery is in weeks not hours. So charging is infrequent unlike the phone.

Pebble though is still the best in this field since their watches use epaper for their displays. So it actually works as a watch. And their devices are application focused, so if it doesn’t come with a timer, you can always download one.

Garmin watches are good, but their move to OLED pushed me away from buying another. And their locked down system makes me concerned with its future as a smart watch. As a sport and activity tracker it’s unrivalled. But I will buy a new pebble before another Garmin.

Zorin pro was the main reason I never stuck with Zorin OS however while they heavily advertise that the price is for the software. I think the real cost comes with “installation support”.

For many first time users, having support help with an install is a necessity and they will pay for it. See Geek Squad as an excellent example.

Plus having a preconfigured Linux experience is good for these users.

This has been sitting on my project shelf since February of this year. Granted I haven’t touched it since Feb, but 9 months is a bit too long for a project like this :P

While I agree with a native port. I think work around like this is also good too since it shows demand. I mean it’s why there is a good level of hype around Linux Gaming thanks to Steam and its Proton compatibility layer.

So long as Affinity isn’t blocked from running like what adobe does. I think this is fine until a universal binary is possible.
