  • I am reminded of the ability MANY years ago to write the kernel file directly to a floppy disk, or start of a hard drive and somehow being able to boot that way.

    I just can’t recall how I did it, or WHY I did it.

    Back when the kernel would fit on a floppy disk. I am truly showing my age.


    6 yr old grandson found a box of old floppy disks and was asking what they were. He started stacking them up making card houses and roads for his matchbox cars. Glad he got some use out of those recycled AOL floppies.



  • I don’t recall ever needing the --user option, if the command is ran by the user.

    if you were running the command via sudo, then yes, you would want the --user option.

    Understand that flatpaks can be installed system wide, or on a per user basis.

    if you are not careful you can install the same flatpak system wide when you just wanted it installed by the one user.

    I wasted a lot of disk space and time before I learned how flatpak works.




  • I have seen a similar issue a few times, but not regularly, and I have not seen it since the last update.

    I could see the game running, if I hit the menu/steam button, it would show up under the steam menus.

    I could even hear the game sounds and music.

    a reboot normally fixed things.


    I have also had sleep issue where the deck would wake up, then go back to sleep after impressed the power button. I set the auto sleep timeout to be never, and have not seen this happen any longer.

    it’s like the deck woke up, checked the clock, and decided it was idling for the proper timeout to auto sleep.
