To use a web dev analogy, Arch is like node, pacman is like npm. You can install node and it’ll do basic functions - just like you can install arch and have basic functions with the base package. Then you need to just install additional packages to include the functionality and libraries you want to use.
Following the installation guide highlights many packages needed for a “fully functional” desktop, and there’s a lot of choices to make along the way. It’s not considered good for a novice because most users don’t know (or care) about the difference between pipewire or alsa, i3 or gnome, network-manager or systemd-networkd - they just want a GUI, sound and a network connection.
I was just looking for grok examples and discovered this degeneracy, unfortunately I’m not sure what prompt was used.
They keep saying it’s coming, bazzite is pretty solid for now, but I’d really like to get an official valve iso.
This is so exciting, very happy for Ally owners. Choice is a strength of PC ecosystem, and I’m confident SteamOS experience is going to win over many users. It’s a great upgrade.
Edit-
“And it’s not like Valve is suggesting it’ll offer SteamOS for rival handhelds anytime soon, either”
Oh :( I thought this was further along than it is… got excited.
Ah… so I guess the gamescope session would fail bc steam fails, and leave the user no way to change to desktop/plasma session. And yeah, steam configs would be accessible in user space as it’s not system level. Yikes all around.
I really hope we get more details, how can a user space application brick an immutable OS? That’s crazy.
I’m reading this as Nintendo has enough original N64 and GC sticks to turn into toys but won’t sell the parts?? Ughhh this company.
For the record I don’t actually think it’s intentional. Truly believe the studios mess up the films to meet a runtime or rating, then call him back to correct it. And after the Snyder cut outrage, his versions practically have marketing built into it.
I definitely agree, I mean it was dreamed up and pitched as a star wars story which is pg/pg-13 so I can sort of understand the expectations. But after it was decided to be an independent franchise it should have had the freedom to break that mold from the beginning.
Lol are studios intentionally screwing up Snyder movies to get a second go? Feels like it. Rebel Moon was exceptionally mid, seems like this cut will improve it but probably not enough to propel it to “good”.
Spring was cancelled this year in my part of the world. Sucks because I enjoy that time too, 75 is where it’s at… instead we snapped from blizzards almost immediately into high 80 degrees

You gotta be a real scumbag to rip off Kenney. What is wrong with people?
In my opinion it’s not “as good” as yuzu, for now. That said it still runs about anything I throw at it, but yuzu did it better with higher frame rates.
Does 29% include the 99% of switch games the deck can play?
Well lol sure, I’ll concede there’s a whole world of games that were built for spec equivalents to a smart toaster that would stretch the battery. Just nothing I’d personally want to play. We already did the 90s.
Yeah I mean I definitely have games like Noita that are 2d and happily empty the battery in 2, 2.5 hours. Guess I was just speaking relatively to tomb raider, 2d games I can usually minimize the tdp with no performance impacts and carry on for 4 to 6 hours, compared to any average AAA 3d game that is going to have a hard stop around 1.5-3 hours.
I figure a cross country us flight is around 4.5 hours, those games I listed proved they go the distance. I’m struggling to think of a single 3d title that would make it.
Most 2d games give me solid battery life. Hades, balatro, dead cells, pizza tower, streets of rage 4 all kept me entertained through cross country flights with no external power. But really you should just get a fat battery pack, it’s just plain useful for keeping all your devices topped up.
I didn’t know it came out, and I’m generally in the loop on movies… does the general public know it exists?
