At the point where your hardware is so new that Linux Mint can't support it, you're better off with a distro that ships newer packages, such as Bazzite.

I put a skin on my Steam Deck once, never again. It never held properly and was always peeling off. On the peel-off, it collected dirt, grime and hair. It was so disgusting that I removed it a few months after

Quoting: ChrisznixHow is everyday life with bazzite? I installed it on one of my kids' laptop (Thinkpad X260) and it my first impressions were quite nice. I wonder if this could be a good daily driver. I really don´t have any experience with immutable systems, though.

I have Bazzite on my Ally, Nvidia 1660 gaming laptop, and all AMD Desktop since August last year and it's all super smooth. I count myself lucky though as the hardware always worked great under Linux. I previously used Ubuntu on everything, but the 25.10 upgrade was such a catastrophe and left my PC unusable that I dropped it in favor of Bazzite, and never looked back. I mostly do gaming, web browsing, and some light development stuff.

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: suchLet's not forget that $99 does not include tax, so the actual price is actually higher.

Dollar sits pretty low these days, so still just over a hundred euro. Expensive, but not too bad if it's a quality controller. Isn't this thing trackable by the Frame? VR controllers are 150 euro, so it's still a good distance away from that.

100$ is like 85€ right now

I didn't leave Windows for more AI in my operating system!

Quoting: PaldinoXHave Valve talked at all about using the Steam Controller on games outside of Steam? I own more games in my GOG library and if the controller doesn't function with games not added to the Steam launcher, that's a deal breaker for me. I don't even need the touchpad and gyro to work, just having the main controller function as a Xinput pad would be good enough for me.

you can change your desktop layout to a normal gamepad layout to make it work

This is a step in the right direction. there are some games where the performance just isn't good enough to be Verified so this should help imo.

Quoting: ScottCarammellon one hand, I love Framework and I REALLY want to get one of their laptops when I can afford to.

on the other hand. $1200. base price without RAM or storage. they're not exactly making it easy

My thoughts exactly... They produce nice hardware, but that laptop with the RAM and SSD I need easily puts it higher than what I payed for my computer. That's just not gonna happen, I cannot mindlessly throw away that kind of money.

yea.. struggling to see the point if you can get better desktop hardware, even with dGPU, for much lower price

I'm most excited for the couch keyboard which will perfectly compliment my couch gaming setup and make the ocasional dive into desktop mode much less annoying.😇 And with QMK/VIA support and triple connection mode, that's an instant buy for me.
