It’s too bad the 10-series Linux drivers aren’t updated anymore. I put Bazzite on my friend’s computer, but it doesn’t support the Gaming Mode and has to boot into regular desktop mode instead, then Steam starts in Big Picture mode. Not a huge difference but not quite as slick, maybe uses slightly more resources too.

I hate Facebook as much as the next guy

I hate meta as much as the next guy

You were @bus_factor@lemmy.world’s “next guy”, but who will be your “next guy”?

All the emulation boxes with included games that I’ve seen have been terrible with inaccurate audio, bad controllers, frame drops

I think you’re better off getting a cheap mini PC and putting Batocera on it

It’s still crazy to me how video game trailers have almost all been 4k for the past decade, but movie trailers are still mostly stuck at 1080p

Especially considering how much YouTube limits the bit rate of 1080p videos

Batocera is great but I don’t think it has a regular desktop environment. So you couldn’t like browse the internet or use Steam.

If you use a different distro I think EmuDeck will give you the same emulators with the same frontend

You want a live boot USB stick with multiple distros? Or just one distro? I think multiple live distros on a single stick would be hard.

If you just want to test multiple distros you can use Ventoy, but I don’t know if you can get it to retain data, it’s really just for OS installers.

A live boot of a single distro should be easy, but I don’t know which ones are good for that.

Well some people did leave, like the Byers and Eleven, but they came back for obvious reasons and then got stuck in the quarantine

Of course we don’t know how many normal people left/stayed

I haven’t played all these but they look cool, maybe worth checking out: Pumpkin Jack, Spark the Electric Jester 3, and Sonic Robo Blast 2 (it’s free, not on Steam)

I really liked the first episode. The way it showed everything after the time skip was just great. My parents finally started watching the show and are already starting season 5 lol, they’re loving it.

I get like 10 viewers on a good day lol, but it’s more fun than playing offline

It depends what format you want. If you want microblogging (Twitter-like) then check out Mastodon or similar

Lemmy is great, PieFed is similarly great

They used to have this

https://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/microsoft-makes-windows-free-on-small-devices-1239665

https://www.theverge.com/2014/4/2/5574146/microsoft-making-windows-free-on-devices-with-screens-under-nine

But I think they ended this deal at some point

I actually thought Microsoft excuses handhelds from Windows licensing fees? Or discounts them?

So last year was 15%? That’s 1 percentage point, but you could also say it’s down 6.7%, although we don’t have precise numbers to work with

Wardi started a playlist for VODs here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfWB5v8kDQAvIDPgNAm2yPbE_GeXC1fFN

But mostly they’re still just here: https://www.youtube.com/@WardiTV/streams

and here: https://www.twitch.tv/wardiii/videos?filter=all&sort=time

maybe it needs to use AI to determine if it’s a good fit for the community lol

god they really didn’t want to animate this episode lol

I never expected to see an Equilibrium style Gun Kata fight in OPM lol

intense fight, and a ridiculous origin story lol
