The Elecrow CrowView Note is a real useful all-in-one portable monitor and keyboard
5 Oct 2024 at 11:20 am UTC

Quoting: Liam DaweLooks like it's detected as a mouse, Plasma settings also blanks out touchpad settings. Although I did just discover three fingers on the pad will also bring up the alt+tab switcher.
What a pity. It seems to be a nice device otherwise.

Quoting: CaldathrasInputting the video signal to a laptop as if it were from an external webcam is an intriguing idea. I'd love to know how to do it.
Steam Deck has no UDC, so it won't work there. You should be able to do it on phones though.

Quoting: Liam DaweI did mention clearly in the article that multi-touch works so it definitely acts like a touchpad.
You only mentioned two finger scroll, which is usually emulated as a basic mouse wheel.

evtest output will tell you everything.

You missed the most crucial part of a lapdock review: is its touchpad exposed as a touchpad, or as a mouse?

Gamescope (used on Steam Deck) adds in some VR support

It was known that Gamescope is being used by Valve for VR already since November: https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/commit/279146669257d374a367dce965e94e6f6792b782 [External Link] :P

Custom boot animations for the Steam Deck are pretty sweet

Quoting: randyl
Quoting: PhiladelphusPretty cool idea. Do you need the CSS line with flex-grow if you render the video natively at 1280×800?

Also, clearly it works so I must be missing something, but how does truncating the CSS file after you've added something to it not cause something important to be truncated from the end? :huh:
I'm curious how truncating the css file doesn't cause problems as well. It's a source file with information in it. What happens to that information?
The change you're supposed to apply actually makes the file a bit smaller (you edit `0` to `1` and `300px` to `100%` twice), so the point of that truncate command is to make the file larger again to match the original size.

and absolutely one of the unsaid reasons why Valve has delayed the dock for so long
Yeah, right, for sure... :P

A new Steam Deck Beta fixes various bugs causing crashes
7 Sep 2022 at 1:53 pm UTC

> I fully expect soon we will see the recent Beta versions bundled into the Stable release, so they can make way for SteamOS 3.4 which they teased recently.

This is a Steam client update, it has nothing to do with SteamOS.

Prodeus cancels the Native Linux version, focusing on Proton compatibility (updated)

Quoting: dziadulewiczHow can this be? Why is it this way all the way nowadays? The game runs better on the get go via assets and tech made for Windows rather than what is meant for Linux?
Incompetence. For me personally, making a game that runs well on Windows via WSLg would be easier than providing a native Windows build too. I learned how to deal with Windows anyway, while they obviously don't care enough.

SteamOS 3.4 Beta to update the Arch Linux base, new Steam Deck updates out now
22 Aug 2022 at 1:24 am UTC

Quoting: mr-victorySteamOS 3 or one of its derivates (Holo, Winesap...)
Well, actually... ;)

"Holo" is the codename of SteamOS 3. You probably meant HoloISO, which is a project that attempts to take Valve's Holo and to make it installable on various hardware other than Deck.

Proton 7.0-4 is coming to bring more compatibility to Linux and Steam Deck
6 Aug 2022 at 4:34 pm UTC

Quoting: PhlebiacI don't think Steam Deck supports it? If I understand correctly, it uses ext4.
It uses Btrfs, but I forgot that it's only for / - the library is on a (case insensitive) ext4 partition, so yeah, not applicable there.
