Wine definitely deserves credit but without Valve’s support of Proton, Linux still wouldn’t be viable for most gaming.

Still not going to get me to try any Windows handheld. Steam Deck or die for me.

I can understand where you’re coming from. As a lifelong PC gamer, it took me ages to adapt to controller usage (I use a controller on PC for some game types now) and I still can’t play any sort of shooter with a controller.

It’ll inevitably take time. You’re shifting from existing muscle memory, to an attempt to develop an entirely different kind of muscle memory. I’d suggest trying to use a PC for as many tasks as possible, even for stuff you usually use your phone for. Even general PC usage will help your muscle memory to develop.

Don’t give up, you’ll get there eventually!

Anything for people to avoid using services like Proton Mail. They’ll ask for a Mozilla webmail, an X web mail, but won’t use an objectively more secure service. Baffles me 🤷‍♂️

All Scripture is God-breathed. Take it up with Him.

Again, read the Bible. That’s all I’ll say because it’s obvious to me that you’ve probably only read scraps through third parties within the context of progressive “Christianity”.

Read the Bible. Even the apostle Paul reiterates that it’s sinful.

As I said before, it all comes down to the “homophobia” argument. No good reasons, just a hatred of its founder. Pretty sad, if you ask me.

What’s wrong is that we’re on the Fediverse and many here write off Brave because the founder is “homophobic” because he’s a conservative Christian. Sure, they make up all sorts of shallow justifications like “it’s a crypto scam” but it definitely boils down to the “homophobic” whining.

I hope to see more distros do this. Strongly considering buying a Pro license just to support them for doing the right thing. Screw Mozilla.

Nice, I once modeled my phone aesthetic after EndeavourOS’ default Plasma look. Some Linux DEs have some very nice aesthetics to them, especially when distros make their own custom default (eg. Garuda Dr460nized).

Immutable seems like a good idea and it is for security or for a console-like PC but for any sort of intermediate or advanced user, it’s not such a good idea.

Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom is a great one. Colorful, fun, complex enough that he can grow with but simplistic enough for him to have fun without constantly needing help.

Yeah, I have no intentions of staying. I’m planning on exporting the list and then deleting my account because even though this might not turn out to be a bad thing, I don’t trust it. I’ve heard of open source alternatives and I think I’m just gonna go to that route.

Thanks for this, it’s one of my favorites!

You CAN but it’s a matter of time before you’ll have to upgrade to 11 or go 100% Linux because drivers and game clients eventually stop supporting EoL operating systems.

Awesome, thanks for the tips! Just have to figure out a way to transfer the screenshots to my PC though, as I only sign in to gaming accounts on my Deck.

How do you get these screenshots? I’d show mine but have no idea how to capture the game mode UI.

Probably Plasma because it’s familiar and you’re able to customize it extensively over time.

That’s certainly an option for anyone who has tried Linux and is unable to use it for one way or the other.

Problem is, many haven’t tried Linux for one reason or another and they continue to complain about stuff like this without even trying to move away from Windows.

You realize that PC stands for “Personal Computer”, right? As in MY computer. My property. I should be free to use a local account without issue. I should be free to value my privacy.

This is why Linux is growing faster than ever. It actually understands what personal computing is.
