Prefixer is a modern alternative to Protontricks that's faster and simpler

I use middle click copy to the already open terminal, so it's one click to copy, then press return. Does that count as one click or do I get marks off for using one keyboard key?

Quoting: PhiladelphusLOL.Quoting: LinuxerWhy, 'tis a mere nineteen clicks to enter it with a virtual keyboard! Not a single key-stroke necessary! 😉Quoting: pbyay -S prefixer *is* a couple of clicks ;pHuhh dat a termnial command so no its not jus clicks
(Unless, does yay require sudo? Then it'd be more… 🤔)

Quoting: williamjcmI hope it'll get released as a Flatpak, because I don't like installing stuff through the AUR or pip.I hear you, the pipx install I did was so incredibly fast though, and the program is so incredibly useful. If I'd know what I was getting I would even have scrabbled around compiling from source, but there was no need.

I have playtime 60% Linux, 32% Steam Deck and 9% Windows. The shame of 9% windows. Also yes, I know that adds up to 101%, that's Valve's maths not mine. I'm taking the extra 1% from the Windows part to reduce shame.

More than likely though I'm missing an obvious button right?
(EDIT: as suspected, I was in fact missing that the page was taking while to load and I could then scroll further down).

Quoting: pbI have 95% on Linux and 5% on SteamDeck. Notably, I also played some hours through GFN, both on PC and SD, I wonder if they filtered it out or if they are now able to tell the device behind the GFN, because I know for sure it counted as playing on Windows in the past.I don't have that stat on mine. How do I get the that? Do some users just not have it? Are "Here are a few of your highlights..." random?

Has anyone had any luck with getting FSR4 running on Linux? I want to try it ASAP but I'm not back with my 9070 for a few days yet.
These custom Steam Deck buttons look awesome

"MS decides to no longer support it" - Well I mean this is Microsoft so there's a good chance they'll partly brick it _whilst_ supporting it. It's the Windows 11 way.

Quoting: UberkeyserI'm thinking it'll work well on Linux with those all AMD parts. Might need some HID work for the controller parts. Great looking device, but I can't imagine affording one and I already have a Steam Deck. But wow, the power. The Power.It all depends on the price.Well, kindof not at all. For me it all depends on the software, in particular the OS. The ASUS thingy won't stand a chance with me for being Windows 11 based.
And that is not because of ideology this and that; okay maybe a bit ideology, but mainly because I do not want to end up with a brick once MS decides to no logner support it (potentially on purpose because it competes with the Xbox ecosystem).
Booo booo, ASUS, booooooooo!

Doesn't this also require clearing the shader cache?

For me it's missing a UK key layout and an indication of price.
