So… Is that kinda like a linux subsystem for windows?

I’m sarcastically referring to microsofts telemetry, UI changes, and anything else they try to sell that a lot of people simply don’t want or like.

I’m on the Index. Afaik steamvr is the only thing that really works on linux.

Ah! A fellow beat saber enjoyer.

I’d argue that a lot of the other “additions” and “improvements” make any improvement in comfort irrelevant, as they are unbearable.

On a sidenote, you can set up a generic bottle in Bottles, and then set things up so that double clicking any miscellaneous .exe files just runs them in that bottle.

For the mouse, I recommend G305. It’s wireless, but it lasts a truly stupid amount of time on a single AA. Just keep a spare in your bag and you will literally never have to think about charging it.

It has a fantastic sensor, and doesn’t break the bank. As long as the shape fits you, it should be good.

For keyboards, look for “tenkeyless” or even smaller. Tenkeyless can come with full size keys, while being smaller by dropping the numpad. Even smaller keyboards might drop the columns of keys with the arrow keys and home/end/page keys, the function row, or even the number row. Somewhere along the spectrum you should get down to something that’s about the size of a SteamDeck, or smaller, without making the keys you’ll actually use while gaming, smaller.

If you want to save on thickness and weight, consider LP switches. Low profile mechanical keyboards have become more available. These’ll be thinner and have shorter travel, but without going as flat as most laptops. They can be really nice, while also being way more portable than boards with full-height key switches.

I like them myself just for the ergonomics. A keyboard that lays flatter on my desk means less bending upwards and then back down in my hands and fingers when using it.

I use a G915 TKL, but that may still be a tad big next to the Deck. (And expensive)

Edit: I remember hearing good things about keychron. I don’t have personal experience so do some research, but that K3 and this K7 seem potentially ideal. They also have a bunch of other models.

It’s unclear.

Considering it was the first project from Kojima Productions (the independent studio he started after Konami) it’s actually probable that they didn’t own the IP.

They would have needed someone like Sony and 505 to foot the bill of developing their first project, with no incoming cashflow, and those deals usually leave the publisher holding the IP.

Whats really confusing me, is that it wasn’t Sony holding the IP rights, it was 505.

It looks like maybe 505 was holding it all, giving Sony a cut of the pie for the timed console exclusive, and now sold it all back to Kojima, allowing them to do the Xbox release.

I for one am really happy that studios are wising up and buying the rights to their own stuff when its successful enough to enable them to do that, instead of letting their IP be owned by the publishers in exchange for having them bankroll development.

Studios like Kojimas and Remedy have been shopping around with multiple publishers, and owning their own IP, means they can now even more easily drop a publisher for another, if they try to sacrifice quality.

Also it’s apparently already being completely destroyed by a cheater.

I know that Thunder lets you “label” users so you can recongize them more easily, and I think you can find a list of labeled users somewhere in the app, too.

Perchance there’s hope for you yet! Despite this happenstance of negativity.

Good sign.

Still worth trying a known good os install. If not a snapshot from earlier, some live iso sessions.

If the problem persists even there, it’ll indicate that your hardward is bowing out.

I will use irregardless to my dying breath. In fact I go out of my way to use dumb combinations of synonyms all the time, mayhaps, possentially…

You tried updating, but do you have snapshots set up to roll back to a time you’re sure it was working?

You can also use alternate UIs, or apps.

I run my own photon instance for use on desktop, but you can use the official one to use any lemmy account with the photon UI.

It doesn’t.

The limit is set by the people hosting your specific instance, as they’re the ones who then have to host that image.

Different instances have different limits.

You can use other image hosts, tho, as long as they give you a direct image link. Just plop it into the url field/use it in a markdown image, instead of uploading to lemmy.

It’s also what got me to finally go linux full-time.

I had tried to a couple times before, but always ran into one too many snags.

When the deck was announced I thought to myself “that can’t work with every game, can it?” as I’d attempted that myself.

But I had to see for myself, and the improvements in proton were staggering. And it’s gotten even better since! Who would have though Apex Legends, Hunt Showdown, and a bunch of other holdouts and anti-cheat games would be running on linux within a year of the deck releasing?

Oh? Does this mean they are finally starting to actually lose business because of how shitty the product is?

They wouldn’t be whining about being hated if it didn’t impact their bottom line…

Someone in the playtest has to invite you.

You can ask for someone willing to do that over on [email protected]. That’s how I got in.
