Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoSO... No release for Linux desktops yet? :angry:

I'm starting to think it may never happen. Consider: With SteamOS just for the Steam Deck, that single hardware target, there's a whole lot of stuff Valve don't need to worry about that a normal desktop distro does. Plus, they have various features designed to let you easily manipulate that particular hardware, which might need work to get running on other hardware or might not apply at all.
How strongly are they gonna be motivated to put in a bunch of extra effort making SteamOS fit for the broad spectrum of PC hardware, when that doesn't particularly advance their agenda and they have plenty of work to do that's more directly useful to them (verifying games, improving SteamOS on the Deck itself, improving Proton and other enabling technologies)? Maybe not very.

Quoting: GuestAlso, why do people often wear (white) gloves on yt videos with hands closeups?

If I had to guess, I'd be suspecting that hands are hard and not having to do skin and various details of like knuckles and veins and faint traces of bones down the back of the hand and palm wrinkles and stuff makes life easier for artists/animators.
--Oops, never mind, seeing Liam's answer I realize I was answering a totally different question; I was thinking about the characters having gloves, as for instance they mostly seem to in this game.

Quoting: ZapporMaybe the game isn't actually popular, it's just bots! :-D

As long as they're paying customer bots.

Quoting: soulsourceNope, and the title sounds too frigthening for me to even look it up.

Well, it's not the original title... :D

Thanks a lot! That sounds far less intrusive than what I imagined when reading "put something inside", but I'm still a bit worried about it increasing wear on the fan. It at least sounds like it's working by putting strain on the fan's bearings in order to increase friction.

I got the impression it was just damping some vibration. I suppose if you could take the fan out of the housing and run it in the open, you'd be able to tell if the whine is inherent or a product of interactions with the stuff jammed in around it.

Quoting: Lycurgus87Mate you are tiny bit condescending
(snip)
Or the other options again..the tree over there.

You're condescending, says the guy who told me to climb back to the nearest tree.
But I wasn't. I am a tiny bit now: The point went over your head. The point was, there are lots of branches of knowledge that can make claims that if you don't have them you are inferior. It is rare for the claims to be valid; claims about the arts or political economy or DIY home maintenance are no more/less valid than your claim that if I don't want to learn computers I should return to the apes. Do you get it now?

Yes there are lot of branch of knowledge and you don't need to know all but...and this is a big but, usually you don't need to know all that because you don't want to use it.

BUT if you want to use something you have to learn it.
Also you don't understand basic package management and yet somehow you qualified to say that snaps are wrong. HOW would you know exactly? Also there are plenty of google finds if you really want to know how to remove it. You know..instead of speak of "forced" snaps.

OK, so first, go back through the thread and figure out that I didn't actually say any of what you're now saying I said, and that those things were in fact said by other people. Then if you've got a lot of moxie you'll come back and admit your mistake.

And, yes, you need to learn to USE it. So for instance, to use a washing machine I need to know the difference between delicates and heavy load, cold water and hot on the dials and buttons. If I'm good I'll also know something about the impact those settings have on different clothes. I don't actually need to know how agitators work, where the fan belts are in the guts and so on, in order to either use it or conclude there's something wrong, my clothes aren't getting washed, or acquire an opinion about whether side-load or top-load are better, or conclude that washing machines last far less long than they used to and realize that this is actually a planned thing so they can force me to buy a replacement.

Similarly, in order to use a computer I need to know how to use a mouse and generally navigate a WIMP interface, ideally something about how files and folders work, have a feel for how software tends to lay out its menus and commands, that kind of thing. As a bonus it's nice to know some things about how computers and operating systems and so on work at an abstract level. There are fuzzy edges, but this is largely distinct from what I need to know to be a proper computer enthusiast, or programmer, or sysadmin (In point of fact I happen to know a couple of things beyond what I've itemized, but those are not things I would need to know to use a computer). But this is all I need in order to, say, conclude that my system gets buggered up when I install certain software. It's more than I need in order to evaluate political arguments about computers. And so on and so forth, as per the washing machine analogy. Your claims about what opinions people should be allowed to have are false and ignorant. Nobody even makes these arguments about most other machinery and technology we use and interact with every day, it's almost entirely a computer snob thing (sometimes a car snob thing, and in both cases it usually has male chauvinist undertones), although I've never before met anyone going so far as to say that if I don't want to be a computer enthusiast I've lost my qualification to be human ("nearest tree").

Quoting: Lycurgus87If you not willing to learn you can always climb back to the nearest tree :tongue:

I have other things that I am more interested in spending time learning. You live in a society--tell me, what do you know about political economy? Are you one of the voters, or for that matter non-voters, blindly helping steer the world into a ditch? I could well argue that all the time you spend learning about the minutiae of computers would have been better spent learning about politics, economics, media concentration . . .
Do you know anything about history? No? You are doomed to repeat it. Do you know anything about art, literature, philosophy? No? You are a hooligan still in that nearest tree. Can you fix your washing machine by yourself? How about your dishwasher, microwave oven, refrigerator, hot water heater? Why don't you know about those things?

The fact is that there is too much in the world for anyone to know about all of it. And despite the arrogance of many computer enthusiasts, there is nothing fundamentally more important about that particular specialty than about many others.

⏺ Improved pee and vomit conditions

Best changelog ever!

Speaking as someone who got food poisoning a couple weeks ago, that's definitely something it's good to improve!

So before this fix, the gameplay on Steam Deck had one tiny . . . Lacuna.
