When I found out how scummy they were with user data I moved to KISS launcher. It took a few days to get used to but I’m very happy with it now.

You’re doing the Lord’s work here.

Almost every day. Only single player, desktop for multi player.

My Deck is for playing single player games when I can’t use my desktop, such as when I’m on the train heading to work. I’ve finished more games since I’ve had the Deck than the few years before that. Love that thing.

Primitive Technology 😍

Recently installed MGSV on Deck and having a blast. It runs really well and I forgot how awesome the game is.

Played them all but got the itch to play Anomaly or other mods after seeing some of the cool stuff they doing. Will give this a try 👍

How does it compare to Nobara for desktop use?

Gutless. If you’re proud of your ideology, show your face.

Oops. I was in a Cafe on wifi and it kept saying that it couldn’t post 😬

I don’t own DayZ, have been tempted to buy it plenty of times but never bit the bullet. I used to play the Arma 2 mod when it first exploded which was hella fun but soooo buggy. Anyway, it warmed my heart to read your account of the game’s performance and to see how far it has come - even more tempted to get it.

I am also consistently impressed with the Deck and what it manages to achieve across a variety of games. I’ve been using it docked with a 1080 screen for the last couple of weeks due to travelling, and with some tweaking I am playing all of the games I want to play. Sure, some run better than others, but with some concessions they all run in an acceptable manner.

True, Saints and Sinners slaps.

This is the way.

I love this thing. I’m finishing games that I probably never would have gotten around to playing previously. I’m consistently impressed with how well games run, and how many of them run. I run Linux on my desktop as well and there is pretty much nothing I play that can’t be played on Linux/Steam Deck. I’m going overseas for 6 weeks in the near future, which would ordinarily mean I’m restricted to playing games on my phone. With Steam Deck and a dongle, I can continue to play all of the games I would play on my desktop. The Steam Deck and Proton have been revolutionary.

So true. Got the SC and the Link, both awesome pieces of kit. The SC had a bit of a learning curve but if you stuck with it, it was worth all the effort and then some. Making your own control scheme was almost like a little mini game. I really miss those huge track pads now that I’m on the Deck, it’s just not quite the same.
