I was thinking of grabbing this as it's currently on sale. Will have to remember to update my drivers if I do get it.

I was watching Wendell's live stream from Level1techs. They were at the launch event and there was a free bar. One of the tech reviewers came over for a chat and accidentally leaked that they had been designed to boost upto 3Ghz. So I expect AIB cards to be clocked more aggressively.

I used to be a massive Unreal fan back in the day. I played the original game every year for a long time and then got into UT99 and then 2003 and 2004. I remember using OldUnreal to upgrade the textures and update the renderer. Fantastic site and nice to see its still going after all this time.

Last Man Standing was one of my fav game modes.

Quoting: dziadulewicz

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI hardly ever use the terminal. The way to work like that is to use a user-friendly distro (in my case Mint) and not to try to make it do weird things. Soon as you're trying to do weird stuff, you need the power of the terminal.

I have been lately seeing this same statement in many places, forums, etc. "I hardly ever use the terminal" or even "I refuse to use the terminal".

It is kinda telling who has gotten to Linux and from where, how far Linux has come in user friendliness, and what is the preference to use a computer (say, after a long days work). Click click and click :happy:

Tbh, I prefer not to use the terminal where possible as I'm just lazy... But I often end up back in the terminal to do stuff anyway to work around bugs in gui software.

I was just thinking. I have my main gaming PC details on here, but I own a Steam Deck too. Would be nice to have an option to show you have both. As it is, the Steam Deck for me is a good way to show my friends what Linux gaming is capable of.. But I still prefer to game on my main rig most of the time.

If they can keep improving and expanding support for titles, it will be relatively easy for them to resurrect the steam machine, except this time build it themselves... While they're at it they should show some love the steam controller.
In the last 2 years I've used my steam controller more than ever, to a point where it's starting to fall apart and I have had to fix a couple of issues on it. I almost bought another second hand, but I will keep my original running as long as possible.

EA, Epic and a bunch of other companies that slip my mind have done the same thing over the years. I don't particularly like it either.

Even Valve who I have more respect for have bought up Campo Santo the other year, I'm not sure if they've gobbled any more up.

Quoting: constI'm a little worried with the fast updates to stable, to be honest. Why is there even a beta channel if updates are rushed out to stable in days?

I get what you're saying.. But if it's a small change that fixes a big issue and they've tested in beta even for a few days and nobody had any issue, I don't see the problem.

I don't think they'd rush out a fix otherwise.

I daily drive gnome, but if I ever decide to leave gnome it will likely be for KDE.

So the Steam Deck may have launched as an incomplete project. But man, they've been really listening to the customers and adding all these cool features that improve the experience.
