The gaming mode is still the Steam Client. It’s just the big picture client which has built in additional features when used on a Steam Deck.

You can get very high end office chairs incredibly cheap if you looks used. It’s not hard to all to find Steelcase Leaps and Herman Miller Aerons under $300 on Craigslist, eBay, FB Marketplace, or used office supply stores. I got my Steelcase Leap for $220 and it’s been going strong for over 5 years now.

And yet Nintendo files bogus copyright claims against emulators.

Id like to add a lutris integration for it at aome point.

Aniwave was probably the best anime streaming site, mainly because its the only one with a functional watch together feature. I also haven’t heard of any of the others though.

movie-web is open source, anyone can host it

Samsung is garbage IMO, and OnePlus has been getting worse for years. Pixels offer the smoothest experience. Nothing phones are really nice too.

Wdym about the gifs? there should be nothing stopping you from sending those on any device.

Sideloading is possible, but there’s more hoops to jump through than on Android. Plus an overall smaller amount of apps available to sideload.

Piracy depends on what you’re pirating. TV/Movie wise you’ll be fine, as well as ROMs for the few emulators iOS has (relative to android). I doubt you’ll have any luck with apps or mobile games.

I don’t really have a YouTube video or blog post on hand to explain it, but I do have a degree in cybersecurity. Putting a malicious executable in a video is not a simple task. The most likely way for this to occur would require a vulnerability in the video player you are using that allows for code execution. If your system is up to date, it’s unlikely the video player you’re using is going to have a known vulnerability that allows this. If someone does have knowledge of a vulnerability like this that is not publicly known, it’s very unlikely random 1337x users will be their target.

Something I will recommend is if you are using Windows, make sure you do not have file extensions hidden in File Explorer, because then someone could trick you by simply naming an executable with .exe at the end. These types of tricks are more important for the average user to be cautious about than attacks utilizing steganography.

Bottles should make it really simple. You might run into the occasional problem with the installers, but they usually have workarounds.

Looks like it allows that using ollama

Edit: according a couple issues, the flag that allows this is being ignored…

I really like ProtonVPN with the unlimited plan. Comes with their premium email, drive, and password manager for $8-12 a month (depending on what plan length you buy)

seconf hand steelcase leaps are great too.

What do you mean by that? There are recent releases on their github.

Honestly, I disagree with Heroic not being good enough, I think it’s the only other launcher on Linux that is. It’s very polished and everything has worked out of the box for me. The problem is simply that it’s unofficial, no company would ship it on a gaming device.

That might happen if any other launcher chooses to natively support Linux. Right now Steam is the best option.

It should just work through Lutris

Why does that guide recommend turning turning of Lutris runtime and installing wine dependencies manually? That’s the entire point of the Lutris runtime. It should work with fine skipping straight to installing through Lutris.

Why do they need to know what it is though? My deck works great for local because I dont need 4 of the same type of controller. Everyone gets a random one and we’re off

If you spend some time learning how docker/podman works you’ll be able to host practically anything!
