I got an LG because despite how it looks, you can just refuse to agree to a bunch of their privacy agreements and be fine. It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than it would be otherwise, and miles ahead of Samsung’s lack of options.
Battleye is, but they didn’t enable it for Linux. Literally a switch, and they failed to do so.
Probably a few Linux/Steam Deck players pissed that Rockstar just nuked their ability to play without warning or reason as well.
There’s no mechanism by which that could work.
This is the same as the beta version, but is distinctly different from what we used to have. Previously playing a shared game locked down the entire library, now it just locks the one copy of the game. Previously you had to sign in on the same device to make it happen, now you can invite into the family remotely. Previously you could switch people in and out easily, now there’s a six person limit on the family and a one year cooldown on both the slot and the member who chooses to leave a family.
Overall it’s better as long as you didn’t abuse the system before.
It’s fantastic tbh. Less convenient for people who just abuse family share with random people, but for actual families or close groups of long-term friends it’s glorious.
KDE Connect is already installed on the deck and running by default. Click the little upward carat next to the time in desktop mode.
For a laptop style system, the vast majority of users expect x86_64 software to just work. There are ARM versions for some things, and some can be recompiled by a knowledgeable user, but most software simply won’t run.
ARM is the biggest reason this is unlikely to happen imo. Software compatibility is key.
The problem is fixable in microcode -if- it hasn’t already caused damage to the CPU. Most CPUs are fucked.
It also is written vaguely enough to justify attempts to block VPN access and other forms of anonymous media consumption. Basically under the guise that an anonymous user -could- be a child, so they need to be deanonymized and tracked.
I measured using Iconoclasts (low power game) and using default settings it took about 1.4W. Pretty minimal drain honestly.
USB 3.x actually does produce 2.4GHz interference, which could cause stuttering if you use Bluetooth and your adapter is too close to the USB port/hub or a USB 3 device. Shielding for USB 3 devices and cables does matter, and lack of shielding is part of why Chinese devices from Amazon (or worse, Temu/AliExpress) are so cheap. That’s about as crazy as it gets though, sorry.
No thank you.
There’s a profanity filter?
Garuda is my arch distro of preference. Easy install and better default capabilities.
It’s one of Valve’s rules. They’re actually pretty serious about it too.
Good. Fuck Intuit.
Yep, same. Works fine for me, I never wanted the features that disables.
