Steam Deck: 2 Years Later! (www.youtube.com)
Really Impressed
I was always on Linux since Varsity but two years ago when I bought a gaming Laptop, it had Windows 11 on and worked great. I thought I would give it a chance and it was great especially for gaming.

I am using the Steam Flatpak on OpenSuse Tumbleweed and when using the Steam interface, specifically when I get a chat message or try to respond to one, the Steam UI will hard freeze, as in a I can’t type or move windows or interact with anything and then 30 seconds or so later everything goes back to normal.

Headsetcontrol: max safe polling rate?
I just got myself an Arctis Nova 7X and have been trying to get chat mix to work using HeadsetControl and Nova7ChatmixLinux. The latter uses the former to poll the Nova 7X for the current chat mix balance. The creator set the polling rate at 1/sec which is a little long, but I fear it may be for hardware safety reasons. I got...

How does Heroic Launcher work for WMV-encoded videos on GOG games run through Proton?
I’m considering prioritizing buying GOG games when available, because they’re DRM-free, especially now that there’s a partner link through Heroic to show where my purchase is coming from.

Minisforum EM780 + Xreal Air 2 + Debian Testing
This thing is tiny and coupled with XReal or Viture glasses it makes for a very portable, very powerful (Ryzen 7 7840U with eight Zen 4 cores and an RDNA 3 Radeon 780M, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) game system that is much faster than many handheld systems without the weight and neck strain. In contrast, with the Steamdeck I found myself...
