Fedora is a middle ground between the two.

Opinions don’t matter. Just check how updated they are. This impacts security and thus privacy.

Careful, If you mix those two you might get Dark City (1998).

Hello, and welcome! share my personal experience with printers on Silverblue/Bluefin. When go to GNOME’s “Settings” app and find the “Printers” section, even on a fresh installation, see my HP LaserJet listed… it’s “just there”. However… it does NOT “just work”. have to do the following:

1. click “Unlock” in the top-right corner of the “Printers” view

2. click “Add Printer…” now available after unlocking…

3. wait until my printer shows up, if wait long enough, multiple entries show, but I select the first entry for my printer, then click “Add”

4. after a moment, a second entry for my printer shows up in the “Printers” list. in my case, this shows the “Model” name plus driverless" at the end.

Now, this printer is visible in apps like LibreOffice or Firefox. hope this helps you. I’ve never dug deep to find out why the system behaves like this, but it works for me.

Yes, but if I understood correctly, Steam’s implementation is vastly superior because it crowd sources the work to players. Meaning almost every GPU in existence will receive a cache. Microsoft’s solution can’t rely on a community because it’s small, thus relies on the developer providing the shader cache, which means older GPUs probably won’t get them and also it will be implemented on a per-developer, per-game basis and past games won’t get it.

Yeah, that’s where I got it. Haven’t played it though, same as with every game I got from them.

Imagine your Steam Machine on your living room TV: you exit to desktop and are met with plasma big screen. Sounds great!

I only hope we can switch back and forth between bigscreen and classic with just a toggle.

Linux + Valve has got to be gaming history’s peak team-up.

Yeah, desktop UI is arcane by today’s standards.

I totally want to play this.

• MinIO: People are migrating from minio to Garage. I haven’t tried it, but people seem to like it.

Self-Hosted Apps

• Moonlight: check out games on whales

• Try Home Assistant, it’s really fun.

and do know I’ll bring RomM integration up with both teams again for you :P

Thank you so friggin’ much !!! The day it finally is released I’ll build all of you a freaking monument !

As always, wonderful write-up. Thank you and Gardiner!

So, yeah pretty much like distros: point release vs rolling release. Personally RetroDeck vibes with me a lot more than EmuDeck, everything they do emanates this “light side of the force” vibe.

And I’ll close with my classic: I’m patiently waiting for the day the fabled RetroDeck RomM integration is released to us mortals.

Sounds great, I’m sure nothing could go wrong!

90’s teen simulator, as a millennial why would I want to play that? Sounds boring AF.

I have my eyes set on Crimson Desert, looks cool.

IIRC it’s world minus china

It’s inevitable, sadly. It’s like when people tried stopping the industrial revolution.

IIRC Linux in is at 11% of Steam users. And with the Steam Machine it will only grow as it did with the Deck.

What is the year of Linux? For me, it’s already here. Now it’s time to just grow out of gaming, and capture another segment like the creatives for example: If they could use professional grade software that is fully compliant with industry standards, then Linux could see another major increase in users.
