  • This year I made a ‘promise’ to play the top 20 NES games as when I was a child/teen I never managed to beat any of those.

    Steam Deck is such a boon that I can play my nostalgia games one hour before when I go to bed instead of doom scrolling reddit or whatever.

    And I have actually beaten smb 1 and ninja gaiden (with save states) and megaman 2 without any saves and I feel so good!


  • Neljä kuukautta sitten tuli tehtyä hyppy W10:stä Linux Minttiin ja aika helpolla säädöllä on pärjännyt, tosin ei nyt aivan täysin plug&play meiningillä.

    En kyllä millään usko tuota 19% mutta selkeästi omassa tuttavapiirissä on joko kiinnostuneita tai vaihtajia enemmän kuin vuosia sitten.

    Vielä en ole törmännyt yhteenkään peliin joka ei olisi toiminut eikä Windowsiin ole tarvinnut dual bootata kuin ensimmäisinä viikkoina.


  • I have to be bit against decky. Out of the five steam deck crashes I’ve had past year all of them were because of decky frontend. At least that was what the crash report said and it had also option of disabling decky until next reboot. So my experience was decky crash -> no decky&happy -> system upgrade -> decky crash -> no decky &happy -> system upgrade… rinse & repeat

    I’m not a decky (or steam deck) power user and last I checked the uninstall was not trivial so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I wish I never installed decky.


  • One of the things you could do as a new Linux user is to try out some support questions with your favorite search engine. Try ‘catchyos my headset mic is not working’ or ‘nobara how do I change my background wallpaper every 15 minutes’ or ‘<distro name> <real problem you’ve had the past 2 years>’.

    This approach will give you an realistic view how much support you will have when you’re dealing with an actual problem.
