I bet if they replace Darktide with Rogue Trader, they might get more people to subscribe. Look at what happened on Fanatical with their Movember Bundle they recently put out for charity that got sold out within a day because of Rogue Trader.

I guess this isn't a surprise given that they already added their kernel anti-cheat on games like Battlefield and this is just going to continue until there's a way to make it work on Linux without their help.

Quoting: PyrateI've also been thinking about doing a console-style mini PC, even though its probably redundant to do so when I already have a Deck and a dock...

I was thinking the same thing about getting a console-style mini PC for some time after owning the Steam Deck for a couple of years and recently decided to purchase a PC that was small enough to fit a low profile GPU because I wanted to play games that the Steam Deck struggled to run. That PC will end up using Bazzite on it since I hear good things about it even though I know that ChimeraOS and Nobara exist.

I have a Deck and a dock too, but the resolution doesn't look great on TV and the Steam Deck is struggling with some games. So my idea is to build something more powerful, but still a small one.

Any mini PC recommendations? I'm looking for ready-made a little box, so not looking to build my own pc.

I've seen some people use those Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny PCs for gaming and not sure if it matters to you, but that one has either an Intel i5 8500T or i7 8700T in it with a slot that requires a riser card for the GPU. The RAM and NVMe drives can be upgraded if you want to go beyond the default from whoever you buy it from.

Quoting: kftXI wish it wasn't immutable so I could remove stuff I don't want like Lutris. That's the only thing stopping me from doing the Switch on my Steam Deck, really.

Just `rpm-ostree override remove <package>`. It's the same stuff as all the immutable Fedora variants.

Would the removed packages come back if a new Bazzite update is available and installed on the PC? I know that Steam Deck likes to reset any of the changes you make on the immutable portion of the OS.

Quoting: ZeloxHaving a desktop pc that just stood there with a decent amd gpu I wanted to put this pc in my living room. Sadly the install for Bazzite is so huge that it wouldn't fit on any of the USB's I have at home, I ended up with chimera OS instead, but that was a real pain to install also. I hade to clean format my hard drives, edit the install script and then I finally manage to get it installed. So if there is one who want so take the market by storm, just make an easy install. I will probably try Bazzite os again once they have some kind of install over the internet. Chimera was painful to install.

Quoting: ToddLI used a 16GB USB stick to create the installer for Bazzite and it worked perfectly fine when I tried it on a PC I recently purchased. You don't need anything more than a 16GB USB stick since the installer itself it about 10GB.

Just a heads up. Bazzite can be picky about what kind of USB stick you can use. It just refused to boot from my Kingston stick even though Kubuntu, Fedora and Windows 10 worked just fine on it. I went out and bought a Samsung stick and that one worked.

I used a SanDisk USB stick and that one had no issues with writing the installer and booting it from the PC.

I remember this game on the PS1 back in the days but never bought it because I was slowly playing less games during the time but now kicking myself for not buying it since it's gone up in value.

Anyways, the game itself is pretty cool if you're into solving puzzles while trying to evade the Scissorman. Also, I like the fact that they kept the graphics intact for this game instead of remastering it like other companies do nowadays.

Good thing I finished most of the missions before this crap was added and since I have Geforce Now, I can continue playing it if I wanted to but at the end, I had no interest in the multiplayer mode.

Quoting: pbPlease remind me, will these demos disappear right after NextFest or will they stay available? Or at least stay in my library if I install them now?

It depends on the developer/publisher since there are demos that live on past Next Fest while others are delisted. Also, if you install the demo and it ends up getting delisted, you won't be able to play them any longer.

This game does look pretty interesting with mixing two styles together into one and will probably take the demo for a spin on the Steam Deck to see how well it plays.

EDIT: I managed to complete the demo on the Steam Deck and it runs pretty good. If you plan to play it and want to use less power, I set the TDP Limit to 5W and GPU Clock to 600Mhz. With these settings, I was able to maintain 60 fps with very little dips.

Overall, a fun game but the combat is rough because of the way you have to position yourself to attack the enemy. Keep in mind that there are no save points in the demo and if you exit out completely, you have to start all over again, which it warns you when you get past the splash screens. The good thing is that if you die, you'll resume back to the last area you visited.
