Don’t forget to add padding, so I’d just round it out to 18 months to be safe.
Some of the UI mods are really good. Gives what can be a bit of a clunky experience some QOL features and look.
They’re probably close to the same amount of inconvenient. The cash tip jar feels better than doing the custom option which feels like I’m specifically trying to tip less (at least that’s how I feel whenever I use it). I don’t like feeling that way and would rather feel positive about dropping cash in a tip jar than feel bad about adjusting to a similar tip on the screen options.
I know it’s stupid, but it’s just how it makes me feel when using the screen.
In the US, I’ve started paying in cash to combat the aggressive tip buttons (your options are: 20%, 30%, 40%, or Other). With cash, I feel free to provide a reasonable tip for whatever service and they see it and appear appreciative, even if it’s not the 20% the little tip screen attempts to strong arm you into.
I’d recommend Fedora KDE. Keep it simple. Good community, support, stable.
I regularly use mine as a couch co-op party system, though usually we are playing Steam games, not emulated games. I have played emulated WiiU, Wii, PS2, GameCube games, however, and have found that multi-controller support can be a pain with the emulators needed to play.
Hardware wise, it’s rock solid for Bluetooth controllers up to four, but no more. If you need more than four controllers, you will want to wire them in with a USB hub. We’ve played plenty of six-person Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brawler using four Xbox controllers, one person with a wired steam controller, and one person holding the steam deck as the last controller.
If you go for older retro games, N64 or earlier, it gets a lot easier as retroarch is easy to play around with in game mode, where if you need to get into dolphin or something you have to go into desktop mode to make tweaks and it’s just a pain, imo. This is why we typically play older stuff or steam stuff. Steam stuff is easy because it just works.
It’s also super portable and I can bring the whole setup in a backpack and just requires a USB C laptop charger, my usb c dock and a HDMI cord.

Appears to be acknowledged and will be addressed on the next release, but we don’t know when that will be.
This is why I didn’t switch until this year. Valve really did a great thing by driving this adoption and I feel like with Proton in the state it’s in, there’s really not much you’re giving up by going to Linux these days.
The list of actual pain points is ever shrinking now. I can’t imagine switching back in 95. You had to put up with so much inequity for a lot of that time.
This is linuxmemes after all…
Yep, that’s the one haha
Thanks for this. The one multiplayer game I’ve been consistently playing apparently got Linux anti cheat support enabled 2 months ago.
I think installing Linux on my gaming/work PC will be a winter holiday project for me 😀.
Now to pick a distro.
Why did they say if like it was a bad thing? I want this to be a thing.
This was before my political consciousness, but I feel like 1992 has an argument, but maybe that was just because of Perot…
Yeah, wouldn’t need that unless it was something more, I suppose. Either a super fancy controller or something else.
My money is on Steam Controller 2, but what do I know.
I really doubt this is the primary reason. I think it was multifaceted, but really the people in the business of designing phones were already using Bluetooth exclusively and felt that it was good enough. Some designs probably rushed it as a means to sell more premium headsets (Apple, Samsung), other saw it as removing an unnecessary redundant feature that was more prone to breakage and a waterproofing difficulty (Google). I think it really just came down to the personal preferences of the (affluent) people who were doing the designing, not necessarily a purposeful cash grab. It really was not great since wired headphones were way cheaper than their Bluetooth counterparts. Luckily Bluetooth has gotten much better and less expensive. I think there should be options for both.
I think it’s visible on the controller settings menu. I also had to go looking for it. The sneaking thing is used so frequently that doing it by hand almost caused me to switch over to using my PC entirely.
Yeah, I agree. I want this game to be a success because of that stance. Such a breath of fresh air.
I guess the question is…can my life support going on a Baldurs Gate 3 binge right now, lol. Because that’s 95% for sure what will happen if I load it up on the deck.
How is the game on steamdeck otherwise? I’m debating if I should do what I never ever do and buy a game at full price…
