Yesterday was the first time I got the survey on my Deck.

I got it on the desktop (as I often am during the day because I do all my work on it), and noticed that while it reported the device as Valve manufactured and the OS correctly, a whole bunch of other data was wrong, like it said the device didn't support touch, etc.

Should I have taken the survey on Game Mode? Is it even possible to get the survey in Game Mode?

I've been using a Steam Deck as my only PC for almost a year now, for work (graphics design, web dev, illustration, some Blender) as well as play ofc. Aside from my suboptimal dock options (Valve doesn't sell any hardware in my market) It's been a very smooth experience, and I've not even had to disable immutability at any point.

I would like to support the point that Game Mode is one of the most important features the Deck has, and losing out on it by installing Ubuntu feels like a loss.

But I would also like to note that Steam OS now has Distrobox built in: for most use-cases you can just set up all the software you need inside an Ubuntu container without much hassle.

Ultimately though, the form factor is the main difference. If I only needed to keep it docked all the time a Deck would not make much sense. But I love shifting to my bed after a workday and playing anything and everything I would have needed to sit at a desk to do before!

Skyrim, Limbo, Stardew Valley.

Bismuth is better for those of us who want dynamic tiling.

Unfortunately, the developer no longer wants to maintain it, and while it's still working through KDE gaining a tiling API (that doesn't do anything dynamically, also what Polonium uses) for the most part, who knows how long it'll last...

The sooner the second one comes out the better. Won't have to worry about further repeats...

And here I thought it was federated. An easy mistake to make I suppose...

:Nervously raised hand: SteamOS 3.5...?

I still haven't finished Bastion because I didn't want to break the loop.

I still haven't finished Planescape: Torment despite playing it over many years because I had too much fun reloading and exploring parallel branches.

Could it be that Android is closing Firefox in the background like it often does?

Them and their buddy must get around...

(The game has a mechanic where you can gain candy needed to power up specific "buddy" pokémon from fitness tracker walking distance)

It's the ol' "Valve can't count to three" meme

I've uninstalled every kernel to free to space more than once...

camelCase or Pascal...

I've been using it as my main (and only) machine for the whole year. Work included (dev, illustration, graphic design, cgi)

Still isn't sold anywhere near India. Thankfully, a friend graciously volunteered to buy me one, Valve has SO MUCH meeting to do smh

The fix I wanted the most from the 3.5 changelog: charge LED staying off when done charging 🙌

I have used Nix in Ubuntu before. It worked well enough. But as a concept NixOS makes more sense than just installing some of my packages with Nix.

Will this let us modify both A/B partition for small system level configuration changes without shenanigans?

I'm going to assume all these syntax highlighted HTML embeds are from Lemmy users. Sadly, illegible on Kbin.

Because I have no other viable option.
