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.

Huh, like mentioned by comments above I didn't expect immutable to be... mutable in some way. Though after reading all your successive comments I get why they did it. I wish they had this info in a FAQ of some sort tho, as if you had not told me this, I would have never known (I have used and love Linux - though currently stuck on Windows for a few pieces of incompatible Wine software) that this command existed.

Thank you very much!

Quoting: kftXBetween CrossCode and Sea of Stars, I kinda lost of faith in SNES-inspired indie RPGs.

What’s up with Sea of Stars? I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but I thought it might be good.

I admit it could be just a personal gripe of mine, but

Spoiler, click me

locking endings

behind what should be, and is presented as, an optional collectathon - something I'm particularly not fond of - is not something I deem enjoyable and killed playthrough entirely. I don't like playing games with a guide by my side, I just want to enjoy the game.

Spoiler tag included just in case you don't want that spoiled for you, even if I'm keeping it very vague :)

Quoting: Klaas

Quoting: ExpandingManand I had *just* enough fond memories of the early game that I felt compelled to finish it

That's the problem. Some games are too long for their own good. You have to learn to let go in order not to taint your experience/fun with the beginning of the game.

You're not wrong. The problem is many people feel a game has to be 20+ hours to be worth the money. I've seen 10h games labeled as "too short".

To me it's less about the time and more about quality of the time, like you said.

Speaking of CrossCode, the "ending" not even being part of the original release of the game was pretty annoying as well. And now that it has come out, I have zero interest in going back because the horrendous puzzle design as mentioned by user TheSHEEEP made me go like "yeah no". Between CrossCode and Sea of Stars, I kinda lost of faith in SNES-inspired indie RPGs.

Thank you for reporting on this Liam!

I have cast my vote to help and am spreading the word as much as I can. Hopefully this will go somewhere, though not getting my hopes up.

Quoting: MinuxDoes this mean we should probably have no more ghosting, stuttering and massive visual issues on Nvidia? If that's right I might try gaming on Wayland again :D

I'm actually curious about this too. I recently tried switching over to Fedora as I want to be done with Windows, but using the newest nVidia driver, there was a lot of... blinking/flickering all over the place on anything that was GPU accelerated or needed to be drawn by the GPU. That was a big no-no and I ended up coming back to Windows 11 for the time being. I have no interest in using any distro still on xorg so I decided to play the waiting game for a while more. If this fixes it, I would be very pleased.

Quoting: kftXMay I ask why IndieGala and not Humble? I honestly didn't even realise IndieGala still existed haha

It is a community project and every developer works on what he prefers. Maybe it is easier, maybe there is no community member that has games there?
I personally only got steam keys from humble in the past, so it might just not be worth the time :)

Oh, it makes complete sense if it's made by a user that wants it implemented.

It's just that as a user that has Humble Choice (I assume - but could be wrong - there are probably more Humble Choice subs than people who use IndieGala :p) it would be nice to be able to get the games from the choice library onto my Deck using Heroic. I don't want to install Lutris or Bottles. I have OCD so when things get too chaotic I end up just factory resetting lol.

Thanks for your reply tho! :D

Yeah! IndieGala, EA and Itch.io are being cooked right now, soon we will have more news about them.

May I ask why IndieGala and not Humble? I honestly didn't even realise IndieGala still existed haha

Thanks for the amazing work tho, Heroic is a godsend!

After reading this article I decided to give this a try as it seems really good compared to SteamOS in many respects, here are some early thoughts:

Pros:

- Waydroid works with tinkering, first time I actually get that to work. Tbf, my desktop is nVidia. It however broke after a reboot
- Excellent out-of-box experience for new users, far better than SteamOS (imo)
- I used the GNOME version which I assumed would be better for a touch-based experience, it worked pretty well

Cons:
- Uses the Fedora installer (an online version) so I had to set up a dock with keyboard and USB to install, wasn't too hard but not optimal
- Comes with Lutris pre-installed, not a fan since I don't use it but it's okay
- Weird issues with bluetooth pairing, couldn't get my Keychron to connect to it at all
- Over USB, keyboard kept disconnecting intermittently

I'm currently reinstalling SteamOS on my Deck and going back to the Preview branch, but Bazzite is very fun and interesting and I'll likely give it another go after a few updates have been pushed.

Just thought I'd drop a note to mention that WWE 2K23 works out of the box (using Proton Experimental) with absolutely no issues and at 60FPS@10W.

It was the reason I got the bundle this month 😂.
