Huh. DollFro/Girls' Frontline (the OG one I'd assume) is playable on Steam & Linux? I'll have to try it.

Well I'm already moving everything to NixOS anyways. Kinda crazy that you need a specific SIG for stability and that it wasn't already a priority. Kinda tells you their mindset, especially with the constant move to new things even when it isn't even ready for half the users yet.

If you're fine with that, then Fedora is still a good distro to use, but personally I just don't vibe with it anymore. I am more of a Bazzite user, but it is similarly an Agenda first distro and I just don't vibe with their latest agendas.

Neat. I recently decided to move my oldest laptop from Ubuntu Server, which I eventually installed KDE on to do some things, straight into NixOS. I thought, "hey, if I only needed my KDE environment sometimes, I can just switch config." A weird thing happened in that my system is way faster now for some reason.

I don't know what was going on with my Ubuntu setup, but even when it was just a TTY, the stutter can be pretty bad. There's likely some other issues with the hardware - RAM stick, SATA SSD, the fan, or the chip's thermal paste (possibility combination of all of them AND aging factor). But KDE wasn't the issue, it's hella lightweight actually.

Regardless, it's good to have a laptop with a decent KDE session. I'm going to be moving my ROG Ally from Bazzite to hopefully (in order of preference) NixOS, SteamOS, or CachyOS as well - depending on if I couldn't figure out the previous ones - all using KDE of course.

Nice! Would be quite useful for Trails in the Sky FC.

Neat. I don't vibe with this line as much as I did with the Dusk Trilogy, but I know a lot of people enjoyed it. More support is better.

Can we just get to the point and have Nintendo try to patent the concept of video games, money, and having a soul? All these playing around the obvious desire to cosplay as Satan playing video game is taking too long when obviously the end game is to own the rights to your soul.

Oh, that's a pretty major ROG Ally fix. I'm planning to try it this Sunday - if I have the time to go my friend's place with good wifi. I'd need to make sure everything is backed up first, because the installer is unfortunately just a blind "deletes everything" one. So I'd need to install SteamOS, then re-install Windows (which isn't my preferred order), and then install Clover or rEFInd.

Still praying for better virgl support for Windows 10 (and 11) so that we can at least play lighter games on a QEMU/KVM setup. Or perhaps a good, near-universal GPU passthrough setup for single and multi-GPU setups (like that's ever gonna happen).

Bazaar has some good ideas, but my opinion on it was soured by how Bazzite pushed it to their stable track while removing Discover (which took me a while to figure out how to properly re-add to my image builder) by default.

It'll probably get better, but the bad first impression just make me go back to what works for me.

They do need it. It's been stuck in rewrite limbo for, what, more than a year now? It is still my favorite Wine runner (unless there's suddenly been a new Qt/electron ones that integrates better with KDE?) and we do still get updates and fixes. But they have big ambitions after their current state, and I think they need that funding.

I just hope they architect it in a way that is more conducive to KDE and non-Flatpak platform. There were a LOT of unnecessary conflicts that I feel happened because they are very deep in libadwaita ecosystem, mainly with AUR (I recall one was because they used a pre-release libadwaita once, and nowadays because of the sandbox? I don't keep up with it anymore).
