They really had to go with that name huh.

Quoting: ekkaiyuI'm using it on my personal PC and, as of gaming, I'm playing Death Stranding via Heroic Games. Works wonderfully, I didn't have any bugs nor any stutter from graphics card (an year ago, I was having this issue under Pop OS).

Thank you for the insight, I'm not too worried about the gaming side, that should be what it excels at, I was more asking about how good it is in reuglar desktop usage, and if the gaming features come at a price to the traditional desktop somehow, for example?

Quoting: CaldathrasOut of curiosity, has anyone ever tried this on a desktop or laptop PC?

I would like to know as well. I flashed the ISO to a USB once but the image was "corrupted" whenever I tried to boot into it, so I gave up. I want to know how much it fares for desktop usage alongside its gaming benefits, could be a good choice for my beefy, still-on-windows laptop.

I'm hoping this would make Pop_OS! a better recommendation as a Ubuntu based distro for gaming. I think we're already covered when it comes to the other big guys (Fedora has loads, Arch has some too but probably not the best idea to tell people to start with Arch) so it's only Ubuntu left. And I have tried Pop_OS! in the past, and I'm sorry, even their tweaks couldn't salvage the (in my very personal opinionated opinion and nothing else) trainwreck that is GNOME.

Quoting: Pickettf3nceThe "Gulikit KK3 MAX [External Link]" is a great alternative for those of us in the US or UK.

L3, L4, R3, R4 detachable rear paddles, toggle-able hair triggers, analog triggers, hall-effect joysticks, 8 (or 4) way d-pad, programmable macros, 3 vibration intensities, USB-C rechargeable, addressable RGB, integrated gyroscope, extra buttons to swap between Nintendo and Traditional button layouts. Support for Switch, SteamOS, Android, iOS, MacOS, and windows.

It's a night and day difference between this and an Xbox Series controller.

Do their paddles actually fully work on Linux and Steam Deck without needing an external app like 8bitdo?

Perhaps not ideal, but I went around this issue by using the 8Bitdo android app to configure the controls, which allows you to do everything the Windows program does, if I'm not mistaken. I'd definitely not give up my 8bitdo controller for something as minuscule and easily solvable as this.

Just updated to 6.1 on Fedora, so slick and pleasant to use as always. Even though I don't use Nvidia, the new additions other than that are welcome. My favourite right now is shake the cursor to make it bigger when you can't find it :D.

Quoting: robvv

Totally procedurally generated missions and story

This is the only part that bothers me. I prefer hand-crafted levels and missions.

If this wasn't yet another damned roguelike I'd be way more excited for it.

Quoting: _MarsThe Helldivers boycott sure was effective.
I have friends that still can't buy the game due to the regional limitations. But everyone gave themselves a pat on the back after a single tweet and forgot about that immediately.

But hey, it's not like that was the main argument everyone was making, right? :whistle:

It was the fleshlight they'd throw out after use, "think about the kids" energy.

Personally, I'm glad the games are "unavailable" for my region, not only would I not need to link my PSN account, I'll get to have the game for free! Service Issue and all that.
