Quoting: EhvisThis storage manager thing looks like it was created with the Steam Deck in mind.

I was thinking that too. But it's very fast and responsive, at least on Windows (don't judge me!).

Cast 'im out! Tar! Feathers! Wailing! Gnashing of Teeth!!!

For some reason I read this with an Ork voice in mind :grin:

Quoting: furaxhornyxI didn't have any problem yet when using it ; I am on Manjaro,but this is an AUR package so it should be the same package on Arch.

Maybe a newbie question, but how do you upgrade it in arch base distros ? On manjaro pamac doesn't show the newest version and I don't really know what to do with the .pacman files that I found on the github page.

Not sure what you mean ? On Manjaro (Cinnamon, not sure if relevant), using pamac GUI, I can see the version of Heroic Games Launcher (heroic-game-launcher-bin 1.9.3-1)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGotta admit it takes me a bit of squinting to tell the difference. Look at the girl's skirt and you can kind of tell, but I'm not going "OMG, it was so bad before and it's so grt now!!!"

Of course it's not, but the textures seem to be a little less "blurry". You can tell if you look closely to the left girl's dress and jewellery, the knight armor, and the right girl's hair.

And the ground texture, too :wink:

Quoting: BielFPsBefore someone says "something something Arch bad for steam deck something something" I would like to remember that Steam deck will not pull updates from the main arch Linux repositories, instead Valve will push updates from their official ones, in order to avoid this kind of regressions.

True question: is it like "another Manjaro" (minus the AUR packages, at least for the official version I guess), or something different ?

Quoting: ElectricPrismI need a Steam Link so I can wishlist this and give it a closer look.

Here you are [External Link] :wink:

Anyhow, the AUR is still questionable in my mind, and even the Arch devs don't readily recommend it. So if you're going to use AUR, keep it to a minimum, it's far too easy for malware to be installed on your system with it. Also the packages get orphaned randomly when people decide they don't want to keep maintaining the PKGBUILD. The fortunate part is the PKGBUILDs are simple and most should be able to read / write them.

Yes, I know, but from my understanding, the same is true with PPA, for example.
And without AUR:

• No easy Skype


• No easy DaVinci Resolve


• No easy Mangohud / GOVerlay


• No easy Heroic Game Launcher / Gamehub


• No easy Blender / Phoronix benchmarks

And of course a lot other useful tools that are equivalent to what I had in windows, with the same ease of installation / removal :smile:

Seriously, if I had to manually install / compile each of those, I would probably be using Windows 10 by now...

1) is in Flatpak/flathub
2) DaVinci Resolve asks for a registration; so how is AUR doing it?
3) I'm surprised GOVerlay hasn't at least been packaged as a binary.
4) I won't support Epic :P
5) Blender has easy install. Phoronix should really package their stuff for ARCH.

Nice to know, because when I was looking for a distro, most were dealing with added PPA. Also, I don't think flatpak was installed by default, but maybe I overlooked this.
Also, I don't remember exactly the registration process for DaVinci, since I installed it a while ago, just to check the compatibility, but never actually used it. It was the free version.
And for Blender, I was speaking about the Blender benchmark, Blender itself is in the official repository. Sorry for the confusion.

Quoting: slaapliedjeBut yeah, do you check the PKGBUILDs for custom patches every time you install it? Because it'd be real easy for someone to insert malicious code this way into anything. This is why there is always the warning for AUR. Doesn't mean it's a terrible idea and shouldn't be used, just be careful with them.

I try to, when I install a new AUR, but I can only check a few things, I don't know all the details in the script langage (whatever is used). But the same applies to most programs on the Internet (when you come from Windows, for example).
Also, how can you be sure that the software in a PPA / Flatpak is not malicious as well ?

Bottom line being, Internet is dangerous :tongue:

Quoting: PublicNuisanceIs anybody else getting fed up with limited time demos ? I don't even bother with them anymore. I work six days a week, not going to schedule time to play a damn demo.

Yes, especially when you want to show the said demo to a friend... and the demo is no longer available...

Still, a time-limited demo is better than no demo at all :smile:
