That's mostly preference, once you get things all set up and installed. You can't avoid updating forever because you'll eventually need to install something new from the repos, and it's good to have some kind of update cadence for security's sake, but daily is a bit much. Ain't Nobody Got Time For That.

I save that effort for a Saturday once every couple of months, and it usually goes smoothly without incident. I could go longer if I wanted, 2 months feels right to me.

Steam Deck changed the landscape of dev support for anti-cheat significantly. It's still not perfect, but most games relying on EAC work now with minimal issue. You might have to occasionally revalidate installed files or reinstall EAC for the game after a patch and that's about it.

Other anti-cheat solutions are still a crap-shoot and likely won't work. Thankfully, VAC and EAC are the most prevalent.

I feel this. The most disgusting thing I've ever had to do was clean my chain-smoking parents' house after their passing so we could put it up for sale. I can vividly imagine what the inside of a smoker's PC must look like, just based on that experience.

Minimal issues here. Set up Arch, install nVidia, add build hooks before next kernel update, carry on.

This is the most insidious conundrum related to AI usage. At the end of the day, a LLM's top priority is to ensure that your question is answered in a way that satisfies that model. The accuracy of its answers are a secondary concern. If forced to choose between making up BS so it can have a response that looks right versus admitting it doesn't have enough information to answer, it can and often will choose the former. Thus the "hallucination" problem was born.

The chance of getting your answer lightly sprinkled with made up stuff is disturbingly high. This transfers the cognitive load of the AI user from "what is the answer" to "I must repeatedly go verify everything in this answer because I can't trust it".

Not an insurmountable obstacle, and they will likely solve it sooner rather than later, but AI right now is arguably the perfect extension of the modern internet - take absolutely everything you read with at least a grain of salt... and keep a pile of salt cubes close by.

Me, either.

Well, KaliDOS instead of Xbox, but still...

Arch, i3, GTX 3080 12GB, and no issues. I'm holding off migrating to Wayland for the sake of full compatibility with all screen-sharing solutions.

I've never really experienced any issues pairing Linux with nVidia, so I have trouble personally relating to all the hate they catch. There have been a few times where the kernel and the nVidia driver were mismatched, which caused issues trying to start up Xorg, but that's easily solvable.

I suspect there's some variance between distros that would alter your opinion slightly, but I can also still appreciate the before-systemd days where some Linux versions kept the important bits in a single rc file. Your preference is understandable.

One of the main reasons my wife hasn't taken the Linux plunge is Photoshop support and a lack of feature-complete alternatives with sane UI design choices. We would gladly pay for a Linux version Photoshop.

It"s dawning on me now as I write this that Proton could be the secret sauce that slays this monster. Has anyone tried adding Photoshop as a non-Steam app to the Steam client, lately?

As others have stated, the cleanest option for a single monitor setup is to either share a specific window, or start making use of multiple virtual desktops, sometimes referred to as workspaces. Windows, Mac, and Linux are all capable of it, now - the only difference is how you set up, arrange, and navigate them.

Linux options offer the most versatility, Mac's implementation is a decent balance between ease of use and scalability (with caveats), and the Windows native implementation is the newest entrant to this playing field... but it's an adequate offering that gets the job done for this use case.

As a Texan, I feel I have the right to ask this very important question...

Has anyone else noticed how the symmetry of the inner and outer shape of a cowboy hat is strongly reminiscent of an inverted toilet bowl?

Just curious.

When a small but dedicated group of vocal people started unironically and emphatically believing the planet was a pancake, I lost a significant portion of my lingering reserves of hope for the future of mankind.

Extremist politics and all the associated mindsets have long since jumped a row of sharks in my mind by comparison.

That doesn't represent disinterest by the developers. In fact, that's a big red circled F on a report card to them, and including that comment is intentionally bringing attention to a glaring deficiency. It's very likely that they have a plugin implemented in their IDE which surfaces TODO items vividly, and their associated Jira task or epic can't be closed out until all of the remaining work is complete.

I'd be more worried if the code presented a clear danger to privacy and DIDN'T directly address concerns in one form or another. You should be praising this dev for raising awareness to his peers and making sure this gets done, not the opposite.

AI happened. The promises, benefits, opportunity for massive financial gain, and the clear and present danger of how transformative it can be have all caused internet-bases companies to throw out the rulebook and lose their collective minds.

Given how much I miss earlier versions of the internet, when almost all content was created and maintained by early-adopting pioneers, I would personally encourage a clear split from site-powered corporate shenanigans.

Mountains of objective, factual resources have found themselves drowned out of public mindshare by an endless firehose of intellectual junk food produced by SEOs, bots, AIs, and anyone else on the hunt for their daily clicks. I have trouble even finding good examples anymore thanks to today's endlessly-manipulatable search algorithms.

Confirmed, been playing Apex since not long after the Steam Deck released. Pretty sure the devs will never fix R6S, though.

Been running Arch exclusively on my gaming rig for 3 months, now, with no issue. Thanks to Proton, the only blocker is games that use anti-cheat solutions that don't work properly. Everything that's relied on VAC or EAC work fine, though.

This is my third attempt at making this move on my gaming rig. The first try was back in 2016. The second was in 2018. This time, I think I'm here to stay. The Steam Deck's success was the final ingredient.

Real nerds use Ctrl [ instead so they don't leave home row.

The only thing that's halted my rampant use of vim is... Neovim.

I do it all the time. 🤪

I can navigate and organize my own notes 10 times faster than if I used most alternatives, especially with plugins like Neorg that support visually distinct markup output via concealer configs. There's even a presentation mode.
