Steam focused distros?
  • @notfromhere @greater_potater Gnome has the rotating cube desktop, burning windows and so on as extensions. Look up "rotating cube" and "burn my windows" in the extension page.

  • Cyberpunk runs 30% faster on linux than on windows 11
  • @arin You see the chromatic aberration from your glasses. You don't see the aberration from your eyes, same as you don't see the blind spot or the yellow spot, or notice that your peripheral vision is in black and white only.

    Hate to tell you, but eyes have chromatic aberration. They have lots of optical faults. They're really pretty crappy, but our visual system learn to filter out and ignore it.

  • World's First Fully Modular Gaming Handheld!

    They most likely do, and without any problems. They're just not *officially* supported; you can't ask for support if there's an issue.

    Japanese input is doable without any system changes. Mostly adding language as well. Some software does need you to add language packs to system directories - that's one example where an overlay fs is useful.

    Mostly it's good when you need to add specific packages (I ran into xmodmap not being available for instance). Or if you need something such as a custom keyboard layout (technically possible in your home though).

    SteamOS is a spin off Arch aimed very specifically at the steam deck and nothing else. The desktop is nice but incomplete; try setting up a fully working japanese input method for example; or a full, modern gcc compiler chain.

    In some future they may make a distro release aimed at a wider range of hardware. But until then it's not a general purpose desktop OS and it's doing them a disservice trying to pretend it is.

  • Bazzite 1.0 has been released!
  • @flashgnash @Jumper775
    Unless you specifically want to tinker with the system you probably want to stick with SteamOS.

  • How do i add steam games to my Gnome desktop?
  • @solarisfire @Simplesyrup
    I see the screenshot from the Mastodon mobile web client.

    Edit: of course I do. It's the other way around that doesn't seem to work.

  • Nowadays, what are the drawbacks and limitations of using Linux for gaming? What distro would you guys advise?
  • @hydroel @solarisfire
    Ubuntu is an excellent introduction to Linux I think. Also used a lot by experienced users that no longer want to spend much time keeping their desktop running.

  • @iamak @mean_bean279
    Just the price. You can get a *really good* manual grinder fully able to grind espresso for the same as a meh electric one.

    But or course, grinding manually gets old really fast if you normally grind for more than 1-2 cups at a time

  • What are some good coffee roasters in your area?
  • @JustEnoughDucks
    Lilo coffee roasters in Osaka is my overall favourite.

    Testing to see what happens when I reply to a #Lemmy subject here on #mastodon

    Programmer and computational neuroscientist, now HPC support engineer in Okinawa, Japan.

    Photography, bouldering, recreational programming and playing the sanshin are things I do.

    Sweden, Osaka and Okinawa are places I particularly care about.
