Quoting: GustyGhost

Quoting: EikeDebian is back in town! :heart:

I'd been wondering how one of the most well established distros had even disappeared from the stats at all.

I guess it was too well divided between Bookworm and Trixie (and testing/sid/whatever).

Quoting: ramieraI'm one of the "newcomers". (I had used BSD/Linux for a long time, just kept a Windows machine for gaming.)
Windows 10 decided to give me a reason to fully switch, when on the last day of support, it switched off my screen during use. 2 days later I had a Void Linux gaming machine setup, and using it ever since.

Like Windows winking good bye... :D

I am not sure if it matters any more.
There are practically no Linux games out there.
A lot of franchises that had linux(bad ones at that) ports - became windows only with proton.
I suppose it only matters for proton, there is more initiative to make proton better as result.

As a point and click, CRPG and puzzle game player, I still got more native games to play than I would ever find time to do so.

Quoting: scaineUnder X11, I only get the option for 60Hz. This is across three distros (Pop_OS, Endeavour and Siduction), so it must be a hardware limitation of some kind.

Works For Me(TM) on KDE 6 on Debian stable, and worked on KDE 5 on Bookworm already. I'm using Nvidia BTW.

But I wouldn't go back to X11 because a) no 120Hz support

Wayland definitely is the way to go, but what do you mean no 120Hz? I'm running an Xfce (X11) desktop at 120Hz right now, on AMD hardware similar to yours. Is that some weird KDE limitation on X11?

Wondering the same. I'm running KDE with 144 Hz on X11.

That's a good question. I've read a fair number of comments and reviews from people saying that being able to just pick up the Steam Deck and play a game, rather than sitting down at a full-on desktop PC, somehow made it easier for them to find time to play. I'm also wondering if having the extra device will mean I can more easily play multiplayer games with friends/family at home.

We're playing Minecraft with two people in one world with PC and Steam Deck. So, yes, this night work out!

BTW, still searching for tips how to play split screen on one PC. I cannot get two controllers to work, the two Minecraft instance's controls are always interfering with each other.

I'm tempted to get the LCD model with the 20% discount, to try out the concept of a Steam Deck without spending too much. This is because I don't know if I'll really have any time to play (I've barely gamed at all in the last few years, even after buying games I was really keen to play). My main concern is fan noise, and disturbing people in the same room. Do the current LCD models have the quieter fan, or is it still random whether I'll get a noisy one? And is the OLED model any quieter, apart from all the other improved features?

I just tried with Shadow Of War, and I can hardly hear my Steam Deck. AFAIR, they had a software update for the problematic fan type. I don't know if they're still using it.

Steam Deck LED is good.

But, to be honest: If you're not playing in the first place, do you thing Steam Deck will change that?
