I wish waking the steam deck with a non-steam game open from sleep wouldn't log me out on desktop when i have a game open on it. When I'm in queue for games I want to use my steam deck since I have GOG and emulated games on it but if I forget to go into offline more I just log my self out on my computer.
Minecraft on Steam Deck Guide with Prism Launcher (and gamepad support)

Quoting: PixelDropEverything worked for me just copying the instance folder and setting the ram usage correctly. That's all they say to do https://prismlauncher.org/wiki/getting-started/migrating-multimc/ [External Link]Quoting: PixelDropStill seems like it has a ways to go. Trying to move my PolyMC setups over to Prism has just an endless mess of errors for everything except my rarely used Vanilla instance and my super lightly modded hardcore instance.Tried something kind of stupid and it fixed all my issues.
Everything with a lot of mods is a nightmare of errors thus far. Which is confusing because it's the same version of Minecraft, same mod launcher version, same mod versions, and same java version.
I took my PolyMC folder and copied everything in it.
Pasted it all in the Prism folder, chooshing not to override anything eg skip all conflicts which was 90% of the files, and now everything works with no errors.
So I'm guessing the current prism release is missing an important dependency file, seeing as nothing was overridden but clearly there was something Poly had in the folder that Prism needed to work properly but didn't come with.
Nintendo Switch emulator yuzu gets 'Local Wireless Multiplayer'

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo how's Yuzu on the Deck? Which is better to play Switch games on, the actual Switch or the Deck?Only just got my steam deck so not much time with it so iv only tried three houses in the first battle I got 22 to 30 fps in vulkan and stable 30 in opengl but very long first time shader compilation and the experimental mesa only shader crashes at launch. In the free roam in opengl there is visual artifacts and vulkan has slowdown/different artifact. This is my early finds and I still need to get my friends hackable switch so I can dump my own games (I do own three houses).

Glad there is integration with origin now if only EA would give me my games back they deleted off my account and 2 of them ive have physically since i was 13 because of them. All EA support says to me is that the games are linked to a different account and tell me i forgot my info to my real account even though i checked every email i had by myself and check with EA support if those emails had accounts and they said no to all but the one i used.
Flathub to verify first-party apps and allow developers to collect monies

Reasons being handbrake has a bug in the arch repo that made HEVC/265 encode take 10 times longer(10fps on flatpak to 0.4fps on arch repo) aur versions dont fix this and the flatpak version is official the only thing I'm missing is fdk-aac which i only use when using 264. Fre:ac only available in AUR crashes constantly and the GUI doesn't show some times so pretty unusable and flatpak version is official. Ungoogled Chromium don't want to compile and flatpak is offical. Jellyfin media player don't want to compile and flatpak is official.
I'll be using the OBS flatpak in the next release as it will be official and have all features available with out needing to compile the missing features from the AUR.
On my laptop that is running opensuse tumbleweed I use the flatpak for asunder as on opensuse asunder isnt up to date and is deprecated since it uses gtk2 still and the creator endorsed the flatpak version.
Not that flatpak stuff is perfect switched off the Firefox flatpak after it bugged my profile and 264 videos playback can be bugged some days probrobly switch back to it sometime in the future again tho.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualOn a rolling-release distribution like Arch? No way. All of the packages are up-to-date, and if they're not, they are up-to-date in the AUR.Use flatpaks on my arch install for handbrake, fre:ac, ungoogled chromium, and Jellyfin Media Player.

Quoting: CatKillerThe game engine is the same one as edf 4.1 which is a pc port from a japanese company of a ps3 game so im not suprised. Games worked fine on my vega 56 and intel uhd 620 but would lock up the entire laptop on my mx 150 so i hope this fixes it. Also playing this with my friends right know and some times the difficulty is to high like how are we the post to do this can takes us up to 3-4 days to beat some missions.the game frequently turning vertical synchronization on and off between framesThat's insane.

Quoting: Buhe226.4 was a major improvement to what I could now run, like Ren'ply, RPGM and Unity with no problem, but now, after 6.5, I can get nothing running. The stable version still runs 'some' of my windows stuff. Is anyone else having this problem with other windows stuff?Have you tried making a 32bit wine prefix with WINEARCH=win32. Works for me to get RPG Maker game to work and not using dxvk lets other RPG Maker games that only show a black screen(when dxvk in enabled) work.

Quoting: ShmerlI thought DRM-free music situation isn't bad. There are a number of good stores where you can get even DRM-free FLAC:Havent heard of these places before and didnt know tidal sold music every time i went or was sent to their site i only ever saw their streaming service. Guess it doesnt help that i dont buy a lot of western music and my friends never buy music they only stream it.
