That was, at some point, an ongoing project. You can still install individual KDE Gear apps separately, but a whole Plasma shell to replace explorer.exe would have been fun

One time I’ve lost around 200gb of data, by accidentally removing a folder, instead of its symlink. Didn’t have backups either, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t get again

Took a look at the available options. This appears to be your best bet. Otherwise there are a few others, although less advanced and/or less maintained

For games you’re playing through Steam, no additional steps are required, apart from enabling Steam Input support in the controller settings. Your pad should be detected automatically

That’s the good part. There’s plenty of choice, and it’s easy to swap

What is happening to GNOME is truly one of the biggest fumbles in OSS. They could have just continued improving things, but instead choose the path of most resistance, refused to commit to any logical strategies for further improvement, and are now stuck in a loop of nothing getting done

That’s just such unnecessary friction. If it already works, just stop treating people like they’re guilty first, and have to be acquitted later

That’s kind of the point though. One of the foundational pillars of a good distribution is mature package management, and that includes not relying on self-updaters that will pollute your system with untracked files

I used to like purpose-made IDEs when i was just starting out with Java years ago, but these days, these are a hard sell for me.

A lot of Jetbrains plugins are incredibly opinionated, and you either have to use it their way, or gut the IDE, where half of its purpose loses value.

DIY editors like VSCode aren’t perfect but they’ve opened up a whole new market for things

ModOrganizer works out of the box. I haven’t tried installing lists on linux itself on v4 of Wabbajack yet, however if you install one on Windows, and then move it to your Deck, everything i’ve thrown at it so far has worked as intended

Especially on Linux, libvirt/qemu on kvm is a no-brainer. It works, it’s fast, the setup is practically effortless

I agree with this. Producing stuff that’s barely any different year to year is just a waste of resources, literally

I feel like we’ve had this exact conversation about the Z1 too, and they’ve already said they’re not interested in minor generational bumps. I really respect that

Any time a shell alias would be useful, i have to setup an equivalent of a makefile anyway. My current setup has no aliases active, for the same reasons as you

My experience is aligned with this. I’ve barely had any issues at all, especially in the 6.x cycle.

There was one pretty annoying panel bug, which was caused by Nvidia, but i’ve sent them reports, and they fixed it in the next driver release. The other one is a thirdparty addon, where under a certain setting combination, your shell would occasionally restart, but again that’s not a Plasma bug

I’ve seen a couple people attempt this. Am very curious about how exactly that will be done. Although I’ll have to say that i’ve seen far worse and/or more difficult submissions. People cook up absolutely insane code

I’ve solved the first two in Rust, and will likely keep going until I can’t anymore, just like with previous years. It’s a fun language, and i’d love some practice too

That doesn’t even put into consideration all the games that run perfectly fine, but have no proper input support, or those that require minor tweaks/mods, as mentioned. The number would have been colossally larger as a result.

Still unbelievably impressive though, granted that any of “proper” consoles will never see a game library of this scale

Well, I was hoping to buy a Deck to begin with, but doesn’t look like the OLED models are on sale.

For now, i’ve grabbed the STALKER trilogy, Gnorp Analogue and Guildwars

The original announcement isn’t even very long. Could you not have read it before leaving this comment?
