I too am a trackball enthusiast! I have the same mouse even. (Not that there’s that many to choose from) I never seem to spot our kind in the wild!

Nice setup!

elleybirdy OP ,

We exist! This trackball is one of the most comfortable input devices I’ve ever used. I love it.

PotentialProblem ,

Absolutely agree! It’s especially great for small spaces and I can even use it while walking around if I need to!

KryptonNerd ,

Ploopy have given trackball enthusiasts a lot more choice at least!

PotentialProblem ,

First time I’ve heard of ploopy! I’m due to replace my current trackball and this is extremely tempting!

My partner thought I was crazy until hw hit 30 and his hand / wrist started showing wear and tear. Now he uses one too!

PotentialProblem ,

Glad you could convert your partner to “the way”! I’ve always wondered if it’s less wear and tear or not. I’ve been using mine for decades now (daily…) and I’ve yet to have any problems.

Can you tell me more about that TV?

elleybirdy OP ,

It’s nothing fancy. 4K/120hz hisense tv from Costco. It does have micro led, Dolby Vision, HDR 10, and ANDROID TV though, so it’s capable.

Was going to say that it must have a low refresh rate, but I was wrong

Chrome, Discord and Youtube (premium)? The council does not approve /j

elleybirdy OP ,

Forgive me, please!

jeffreyosborne ,

Do you run SteamOS? Or a different os?

ltxrtquq ,

I’m no expert, but that looks like windows 10 on a steam deck.

RandomLegend ,

Wrong.

This is KDE Plasma, look at the bottom left corner.

bisby ,

The “start button” is the kde plasma logo. So this would be Linux of some sort (makes sense given the community and what OP has said) and not windows

The question is just whether OP is using steamOS that comes on the deck (and uses KDE plasma for desktop mode) or if they have installed a different distro that fits the desktop use case a bit better.

JackGreenEarth ,

Tbh it also fooled me initially, KDE Plasma does look very similar to win10. I had to read the community and look at the Plasma icon rather than Windows icon to see.

elleybirdy OP , (edited )

This is SteamOS which runs on KDE.

jeffreyosborne ,

An OS can’t run on a desktop environment bud. SteamOS is the operating system, and kde is a desktop environment that’s installed on top of the OS

you know what they meant, stop being condescending

elleybirdy OP ,

Thanks, pal.

Unfortunately the SD has a weird gimped version of Arch that doesn’t come with build tools (like make), otherwise I’d be using it as a hobby dev machine too.

JackGreenEarth ,

Its just a machine though, you can flash it with any distro you like.

You can even keep the original OS and just install dev tools via distrobox. That’s what I do. It even comes pre-installed.

stallmer ,

Distrobox is so good!

Where’s runescape?

elleybirdy OP ,

Fair.

souless ,

I bump the font size way up on my media TV as small text at distance tends to lead to eye strain, but you might have better eyes than me.

Is that the Logitech MX Ergo? Love that mouse

elleybirdy OP ,

Sure is! Best trackball!

That’s Hella cool. I need a steam deck

gregor ,

Is that…Google Chrome and Discord‽ Blasphemy.
