KDE Connect: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/

I also use Resilio Sync. It’s not open source software, but it’s self-hosted https://www.resilio.com/

There are also open source sync services, like nextcloud or syncthing

Some performance-extensive games may also work better on PS5. As OP doesn’t plan to build a gaming PC, I think a PS5 could improve the experience of lots of new games.

Valve has been using MoltenVK to run Dota2 on Mac1. I’m a bit worried that if Valve would cut the funding on MoltenVK2. Furthermore, CS:GO had been an example of a cross-platform example for multiple-player game. Valve’s games may still support Linux/SteamOS, but what if other developers only release their games as win-only in future?

It’s sad that these games are not covered by PS+ deluxe. $120 sounds a bit expensive to me, but it depends on eager you want to play these old games.

Quick calculation: Assuming you have 5 games to play on PS3, you spend $120 for the console and $200 for the pre-owned discs, you’re spending $62 on average, which is almost the full price of a new release game. If you think these games are interesting enough, then this is a to-go decision.

As many people has pointed out, it’s always worth to try the simulator on PC first

As you stated, there are countless of great games you haven’t played. I think it is worth $100 unless you plan to buy a PS5/Xbox very soon.

You can try to find cheap pre-owned PS4 discs. Besides, you’d better have a look at PS Plus Extra Game list. Spending the price of 1.5 games, and you can enjoy 15+ games within one year.

For me I would not upgrade the monitor now. Only PS4 Pro support 4K gaming (for some games), I’d save the bucks for monitor upgrade in future.

Great! That’s a great milestone. More people subscribed, more high-quality posts and comments, and more attractive to new subscribers. I believe we’re in a good path.

More people also means more responsibility to the mod team. Thank you for your work to keep /c/steamdeck a nice place

I’ve not tried myself but the interface seems decent and I’ve not seen anyone complain about it being annoying.

Thank you! That’s a relief for me to when considering PS5 version.

Thank you!

“which one will I play more?”

This is a brilliant question. My PC and PS5 are both in my living room. However, if I play on PS5, it’s easier for my wife to look at me, and laugh at me dying :)

I know Diablo IV is a always-online game. I don’t expect to play it when I’m outside. I expect to play Diablo IV in bathroom or during insomnia (well, I know it’s bad for my health)

An extension cord will be very helpful, to remove the force on the adapter.

However, the weight of my DC adapter itself was enough to pull the adapter out of the socket.

I’m using resilio (btsync in the past). It’s not free (FOSS), and not free(need pay for pro license). However, it’s P2P structure is straightforward to me

My personal experience (US) is that most airplanes have chargers nowadays. However, the charger is very loose, and I could never make my charger fixed in the socket.

If OP could find a good socket, then this lucky person could enjoy 5 hour gaming with no interruption :)

Thank you for sharing it. With my experience a few years ago, compiling wine on Debian is relatively hard due to dependencies.

As valve is integrating proton to steamOS, and updating Proton at a fast pace, Arch might be a wise choice

Might be a bit off topic here. I really suggest to have a check at https://www.protondb.com/

Many Win-only steam games are performing great on Linux now.

Besides, I’ve played https://vita3k.org/ for a while. There are countless decent old games which can be played via emulators on linux

I had been playing MTG since KTK. I temporarily stopped due to my busy days. I’m thinking of buying a few Lord of the Rings boosters and test my luck now
