- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 1 day ago:
You’re looking for Mcon (or however it’s spelled).
- Comment on Mouse Clicks not registering in desktop mode 2 days ago:
Just thought of something. When you press Ctrl+Alt+Escape your mouse cursor should change into a red skull and bones. Clicking on the invisible app should kill it.
- Comment on Mouse Clicks not registering in desktop mode 2 days ago:
This sounds like some invisible app is open and intercepting the clicks. If you can get into kDE’s settings configure it to always start an empty session and not start the same programs that were open when it shut down. Maybe you can get to that window by alt-tabbing.
- Comment on The sorry state of saving (mostly a rant) 6 days ago:
I think there’s a Decky plugin that allows you to save the whole state of a game and suspend it. Kind of like save states for emulators. i never needed it but from what I hear it works well.
- Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 2 weeks ago:
I “just” slapped OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on mine. Much easier that way to customise everything.
- Comment on Has anyone done diy repair on power button (not the outer plastic but the actual button on the mobo) 3 weeks ago:
Only power button mod I ever did was put some folded paper between the case’s button and the button on the motherboard. That was actually fixed on warranty when I sent my Deck in for another issue.
- Comment on Lets speculate about the steam controllers price 4 weeks ago:
I was just about to pay for my controller when I noticed that Gabe Newell was bout 500 feet tall and from the palaeolithic era.
- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 2 months ago:
The way they advertised swapping SD cards between Deck, Machine and Frame they are surely working on external storage.
Plus, your stuff is definitely still there but just the mount point or something changed.
- Comment on Plasma-Bigscreen for Desktop Mode on a TV 2 months ago:
SUSE’s Open Build System can build for basically all distros. If you’re up to the task you can use that to build packages.
- Comment on Battle.net detected that I'm on a Steam Deck 2 months ago:
It’s basically the sams way as in Lutris. But it won’t be integrated into Heroic. If you want entries for each game you will have to add them yourself. And the games still nees the Battle.net launcher because of the DRM.
First download the Battle.net installer from Blizzard. In Heroic add a new game, call it Battle.net or whatever, select the Proton version shown in the post above and choose the option to run an installation program first. Select to run the installer you downloaded and that should install it.
- Comment on [Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame? 2 months ago:
I’d say yes. If the volume becomes overwhelming new communities can easily be created.
- Comment on Steam Machine 2 months ago:
They said they wanted to sell it at PC prices not console prices. Probably because this thing is literally a PC that can be used without ever downloading a single game. If it were too cheap companies could buy it as cheap office PCs.

- Comment on Small icons missing in Steam Deck version of BG3 2 months ago:
Yeah, will definitely report it if I find out what Steam does differently.
- Comment on Small icons missing in Steam Deck version of BG3 2 months ago:
Ha! They didn’t know it but @kerobaros@lemmy.world pushed me in the right direction. Running through Steam was the solution.
- Comment on Small icons missing in Steam Deck version of BG3 2 months ago:
Actually, your comment gave me the idea of trying to run it through Steam. And that actually fixed it! Thanks!
Now I just have to find out what that does differently from Heroic’s “use Steam Runtime”.
- Comment on Small icons missing in Steam Deck version of BG3 2 months ago:
To get better control over the whole system. I mainly wanted full disk encryption and a recent KDE Plasma version running on Wayland.
- Comment on Small icons missing in Steam Deck version of BG3 2 months ago:
Yeah, you’re probably right. My setup could hardly be farther from the norm. But maybe I’m lucky and catch the eyeballs of the right fellow nerd.

- Comment on Plugging in my steam deck dock to my steam deck, then putting a mechanical keyboard makes the whole dock turn off?????? 3 months ago:
My first instinct is some weird power delivery issue. Your phone wouldn’t need as much power as the Deck. Do you have a more powerful charger you can test? Or can you substitute the Deck with a laptop?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3's Native Linux Port Is A Huge Improvement For Steam Deck 3 months ago:
Hope they release it on GOG. That’s the one I use on my Deck.
- Comment on Heroic game files 3 months ago:
That’s probably not it, but in Linux the case of filenames matter. The standard folder for Heroic installs is
~/Games/Heroicand not/games/heroic. Make sure you are looking in the right folder.~means your home folder, so on the Steam Deck that would be/home/deck.A slash
/at the beginning indicates your system drive. While it is not impossible to configure Heroic to install games there I doubt this is the case unless you know what you are doing. - Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 introducing a native Steam Deck build that improves performance by reducing CPU load and memory usage 3 months ago:
Hope this gets a GOG release where I bought the game for my Deck.
- Comment on Valve fixes Baldur's Gate 3 issue on Steam Deck / SteamOS 4 months ago:
Steam has its own set of stable libraries that devs can target.
I guess Larian couldn’t get enough of winning so they started a native Linux version. I hope it gets released on GOG as well.
- Comment on How do you make the most of GamePass on SteamDeck? 4 months ago:
The Battle.Net client is supposed to offer at least some Gamepass games.
But yeah, all in all the Gamepass situation sucks.
- Comment on How to uninstall this commad 4 months ago:
Changes made to
/etcare kept in an overlay partition. - Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 4 months ago:
Just a note, Proton is mostly Wine, a program that has been in the making for decades and could be used to play Windows programs (including games) on Linux long before Valve started pouring resources into it. They have “just” concentrated development on games.
- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 4 months ago:
Nothing has indicated that a new Steam Deck is anywhere near a release or announcement. They said themselves time and time again that they would want a new Steam Deck to be a significant upgrade on the first one.
As long as a really big performance improvement is not possible there won’t be a new Steam Deck. And I don’t think running Cyberpunk 1080p instead of 800p counts. My bet is that as long as raytracing is as abysmal as it is now on APUs we can’t even dream of getting a new Deck.
Think console generations and not smartphone releases.
- Comment on Gaming handheld prices are out of control, except for the Steam Deck 5 months ago:
They have advantage of being able to sell at almost cost because they make so much on game sales. Like the other console vendors.
Actually kind of unfair business practice.
- Comment on How to have separate controller layouts for each game in Heroic game launcher? 5 months ago:
Heroic lets you add games individually with the correct name and covers to Steam. No need for workarounds. And you don’t need IDs. Using the same name as used on Steam is enough. Even non-Steam games like Diablo have community layouts.
