Handheld Linux Retrogaming recommendation? [solved-ish]

I figure it will be a good thing to throw onto a wish list for whatever holiday is coming next. In a perfect world, it would run a Linux-based OS, be moddable, have decent ergonomics for an adult, and kinda just generally not suck. Is a hundred bucks a reasonable price point? One hundred fifty? I grew up in the 8-bit and 16-bit...

Steam Deck or the miyoo mini plus with onion os would be my picks. I have both and they both scratch an itch in a different way.

Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73% (gs.statcounter.com)

It peaked at 4.05% in March. The last 2 months it went just below 4% as the Unknown category increased. For June the reverse happened, so 4.04% seems to be the real current share of Linux on Desktop as desktop clients were read properly/werent spoofed.

mesamunefire ,

What’s interesting is that multiple trackers are now saying it’s above 4 percent. Last time something was posted, people questioned the data and where they got their data (which they should). Now there’s multiple sites showing a real increase.

mesamunefire OP ,

Its a lemmy (and a host of other) TUI client. I like the look and performance. GH link is here: github.com/mrusme/neonmodem

I think its just the ASCII chars for his website domain.
Example: マリウス.com/…/neonmodem.gif

mesamunefire OP ,

Thats a cool setup :)

mesamunefire ,

I was about to say, if ip was read only…

mesamunefire ,

My muscle memory just finally got used to ip addr lol.

mesamunefire ,

I really liked the port, but after they fixed all the bugs. When it first came out it would crash on any steamdeck /Linux systems.

The music is fantastic.

mesamunefire ,

Back when we worked it, the app saved so much time and helped explain so much.

mesamunefire OP ,

I think most users dont install windows period. It just comes with the computer. And if it breaks, they get a new one. Thats it.

mesamunefire OP ,

Agreed.

mesamunefire OP ,

For desktop or everything else. Because if its:

Web Servers, Supercomputers, Android Smartphones, Smart TVs, Network Routers, Network Switches, Embedded Devices, IoT Devices, NAS (Network-Attached Storage) Devices, Raspberry Pi, Smartwatches, Home Automation Devices, Google Chromebooks, Set-top Boxes, Drones, Digital Signage Devices, 3D Printers, Medical Devices, ATM Machines, Point of Sale (POS) Devices, Digital Cameras, Gaming Consoles, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), Automotive Infotainment Devices, Mainframes, Telecommunications Equipment, Scientific Research Equipment, Security Devices, Cloud Servers, Network Firewalls, Storage Area Networks (SAN), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Devices, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Devices, Big Data Analytics Devices, Machine Learning Devices, Artificial Intelligence Devices, Financial Trading Devices, Air Traffic Control Devices, Spacecraft Control Devices, Weather Forecasting Devices, Broadcast Automation Devices, Railway Signaling Devices, Electric Grid Control Devices, Smart Meters, E-Readers, Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations, Robotics Devices

then Linux (or some kind of *Nix system) is probably what is running it. The only market share I dont see is desktop.

mesamunefire OP ,

For sure, I wish they gave us more data. The trend seems to be going up so that’s nice.

Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising (www.techradar.com)

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...

I’ve had a good track record with PopOS.

Steam works with about 90 ish percent of my games and all the software I use, there’s a Linux version or proton can run it. Plus the OS is rock solid.

mesamunefire ,

I might be the minority, but as long as they are stable and I can work with my programs, thats all I care about.

I use my pi to experiment, but I use PopOS as my daily driver nowadays.

mesamunefire ,

Interesting, I have that setup, but then again I have an official system 76 machine that is still supported. I have three monitors with one rotated for dev work/teams (ugg).

mesamunefire ,

I had an ouya.

That was pretty terrible.

The games were actually really fun…but the console was basically a really slow phone. And the controllers had sticky buttons. But worst of all, all games lagged badly. Like half a second or more on some games.

mesamunefire ,

Ive never seen this, thanks! This made my day.

I tried making it work for a month! I even tried to hack it to put retro stuff on it. My tiny gaming pc at the time had better capabilities and was easier to work with…so I gave up on that too. Tried to use the controllers (they were Bluetooth, they could technically work with other machines) but they lagged and felt terrible.

mesamunefire , (edited )

Some people think it’s a status symbol, but most people don’t care. But yeah it’s above 50 percent now and climbing (in the US).

I have both from time to time. I wish there was a viable 3rd party than picking our favorite multi-billion dollar company, but as a developer, I need both.

Any good forks without AI? I really don’t want that AI companies with my data.

mesamunefire ,

Were in the code is this? When you use ChatGPT (example), the platform pulls in the data.

Ill give Librewolf a try, thanks.

mesamunefire ,

Part of my research as an undergrad was working with PLSA. It’s very much an algorithm.

mesamunefire ,

The is my favorite.

mesamunefire ,

Interesting, hope it goes well!

mesamunefire ,

I learned about 32bit.cafe just today. Looks like a lot of people are starting to build up the communities again.

mesamunefire ,

Theirs also: tildeverse.org I know next to nothing about this rabbit hole but it looks cool.

mesamunefire ,

Back in the day, I liked the idea of a piratebox like: piratebox.cc but the setup was too much. LibraryBox was the successor and it died as well.

Ive never tried it, but Butterbox looks interesting. If anyone knows any good backup systems let me know!

Right now, I just maintain a couple of yunohost setups because its easy and I dont have to put in a huge amount of work to get federated services up and running.

mesamunefire ,

Go on universe simulator and find out.

mesamunefire ,

How did you post on lemmy like that from mastodon? That’s cool.

mesamunefire ,

I’m glad they show how to turn it off.

What is your culture's outlook towards authority figures? What seems to have influenced it?

I am an Indian and I have become hyperaware of the people and the culture that surrounds me and I am beginning to see the flaws in it. One of the flaws that trouble me the MOST is how most Indians behave when they encounter any authority figure (mostly higher class or “higher” caste or the wealthy or the bureaucrat class)....

mesamunefire ,

American here. We mostly cuss at ours.

In all seriousness, we generally treat people with respect but that’s about it. It’s heavily varries by person.

mesamunefire ,

Yeah that’s a big one.

mesamunefire ,

My favorite is the remote - location jobs. Almost none of them are actually remote, they just want more people to apply so their quota will be met.

mesamunefire ,

Betterment/Weathfront does a lot of this already, but without “AI”. Its just algorithms. It sounds the same…but its really not.

mesamunefire ,

What’s the easiest way to pop up a server? I tried yunohost but the lemmy code is very old now.

mesamunefire ,

Learn to code

Donate time

…

Profit!

…I wish it worked that way :D

mesamunefire ,

You are on one.

mesamunefire ,

That’s great but they need to fix their hinges first.

mesamunefire ,

Nope those were it. And it’s still broken after getting replaced once. It’s unfortunate, I wanted a better laptop, not a desktop in all but name.

mesamunefire ,

I mentoured some jr devs and some apprentices. You end up learning quite a bit about yourself, your industry, and your straighths and weaknesses pretty quickly doing so. Telling someone, “well that just what worked” is not good enough.

mesamunefire ,

Germany sounds wild. While anyone can be in a trade here, its exceptionally hard to get into.
