Bluetooth battery charge... I don't know if it was the intention, but nice addition for external controllers. For Steam Controllers 2, maybe?

Anti-cheat is supported on the Steam Deck but many game companies want to use their tools that are kernel based, which doesn't work on Linux. Steam Deck support EAC and BattlEye anti-cheat software but not every game company uses it though.
I already know this. I wasn't into the details of how it was or should be supported. They should enable ac proton support. That's what I meant. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough.

Quoting: MohandevirJust got the upgrade, on my PC... After the update, I was left with an empty desktop. All the apps had been removed. I had to reinstall the desktop with "pacman -Qqn | pacman -S -" to get them back.

Hu... rray! :huh:
After updating it, all the applications disappeared, I cursed as only we Sicilians know how to do, making all the existing saints fall from the sky... I counted to a thousand and solved it by restarting x11... :tongue:
In fact, the first thing I did was restarting my computer... Still empty. KDE issue?
it's a strange error, rebooting didn't fix the problem for me, but switching from x11 to Wayland and then back to x11 fixed the problem... :wink:
In my case, it poped a window showing it was going to uninstall them. Since it seemed like kde basic apps, I figured they had replaced them in the new version, but I was wrong and there was no way to stop it, unless cancelling the complete update...

Anyway, once I figured the right command, it took a couple of mins to restore it.

It reminded me of the LTT incident with Pop_OS! Maybe it got fixed real quick and I was unlucky to stumble upon it?

Just updated Manjaro Gnome and...everything work, no issue for the moment. A far better experience than upgrading Ubuntu to a new version...when you have to finish manually in command line with apt-get install -f and apt-get clean...
We are on the same page.

I just had that weird occurrence and tought to share my experience, in case it happened to someone else, in case it could help.

Spoiler, click me
That's exactly what I lived with Debian and Debian-like distributions, until I migrated to Arch/Manjaro.
Seriously, I did a lot of distro hopping (Arch, Debian and Fedora based) and never found a distro that didn't have some annoying issues. It's just a matter of what you are willing to cope with. This said, they are all less annoying than Windows, in my opinion.

Manjaro is the "lesser evil", atm, to me. :grin:

How...how did that even happen? What?
No clue. It's a fresh install from last week. No aur activated. Just flatpaks.

There was an update available. Saw that KDE 6 was installed and during the upgrade, all the apps were removed. That's all I can say.
