I'm curious how others in our community use this? Do you add it to the Discord .desktop file as an extra command? Do you map a desktop environment level hotkey to launch Discover? Something else?

I always forget it exists, since I rarely happen to play/voicechat with people I don't already know for years or decades.

Quoting: Joeg1484Does anyone have their Valve Index even working in Linux these days? I cant get it to run anything. Used to work - I played completely though Alyx on Linux a couple of times, but then gave it up for a couple months last year and just started to get back into it and nothing works.

I can install it... set up the room... but after I install ANY game and click play in my headset, it just goes right back to the play button. Nothing in /tmp for dumps, just doesnt work. I even tried the Proton version... Same!

I get errors trying to load the room.. All I can see is the wireframe "Room" and thats it LOL.

I recently got the Index and on Ubuntu 23.10 things mostly work. Some games work out of the box (via Proton) (e.g. Google Earth VR; Budget Cuts; Acron; Supehot; Groove Gunner), some needed tinkering (e.g. HL: Alyx;), a few needed me to run an older version of the app (from Betas tab on Steam Properties) (e.g. Elven Assassin; Beat Saber), and some I haven't gotten running yet (e.g. RR Raceroom).

Quoting: hardpenguinIt was one of the first high profile Linux native ports by Feral that I purchased. Such a shame.

Was actually VP :P

WHAT!!! How could I make such a mistake

Gonna request your Linux gamer card back

What does VP mean in this context?

Also, take my Linux gamer card...
Oh, the cruel irony - just as I got an actual gaming pc for the first time in my life... 😢

For anyone who cares: Roblox is systematically abusive to children:

I don't know what would be better - for Blender to accept their money or to refuse the very light good PR that Roblox is getting from this donation.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThe proper place for the X button, looking at you, Apple! I've looked up how to flip that to the other side on macOS, and apparently the Almighty Apple has spoken and does not allow such things... All other operating systems I've ever used has it on the right side... but not macOS...

Eh. I prefer top left window-control buttons. It especially made sense with a Unity-like UX, where you have the window-controls pinned on the top panel as well, and you have the behaviour of hiding titlebar when a window is maximized.

Top left just felt natural for me. Also, kinda corresponds to the location of Esc button and most back/burger menu buttons positions.

The beauty is, most operating system / desktop environments give you the option. Not so on macOS.

Yeah, I'm considering switching my Plasma buttons to left side since I work with a Mac a lot, but doing so gives me this weird feeling that I was defeated. Decisions, decisions... :P

I, too, am forced to work on the vile macOS. My solutions include using it via ssh as much as possible and I set up Super+Q as an Alt+F4 alternative (for an almost consistent experience on both OS-s).

Is this useful for using on Steam outside Steam Deck as well?

For me I currently enjoy having the buttons on the system panel (and only there for fullscreen windows) - so that to close (or de-maximize, minimize) I go max top right, and to open new apps I go max top left.

Quoting: slaapliedjeHaha, indeed. I'm betting Elon would have taken over X.org if he could.

Elon would be a Wayland hater if he's a Linux user lol

Elon would go so far as to start a company appearing to develop a better Wayland that runs inside magnetic tubes just to muddy the waters and take away some of the attention and investments from the Wayland that actually exists and works.

This frustration is making me click the x button on the top-right of this window...

All of these look like someone asked some AI tool for "Pokemon, but make it different enough to avoid getting sued".
