- Comment on [Game] Fallout 4 Loses Graphical Options on Steam Deck From "Next-Gen" Update 2 days ago:
Yeah, making them the only way is stupid. But it’s nice as a way out in case you configure yourself to an unrunnable state.

- Comment on A Solution To Web Browsing (in Qutebrowser) And Text Input Without Touchscreen Keyboard Or Mouse (piggybacking on Vim keybindings) 6 days ago:
Awesome work!
I remember using Qutebrowser on my Pinephone as well. How tf does this cute little browser that is meant to be used exclusively with the keyboard manage to be so usable on devices that do not even have a keyboard?
- Comment on Finally the Onboard on screen keyboard works on Wayland 1 week ago:
No, not at all. Steam’s keyboard doesn’t work on Plasma-Wayland at all. And you have to make some manual adjustments to get Onboard to work.
And I just found out that it doesn’t work on the lock screen so I will have to find another workaround for that.

- Comment on Installing a standard Linux just works 4 weeks ago:
I wanted to try out Plasma on Wayland at least. And since I “knew” that sddm comes with a virtual keyboard I figured that would be an easy task. Well, it just had a button but no keyboard. But I hope this is an easy bug for OpenSUSE to squash.
My current plan for when I get my Deck back is to install Gnome and then use it to set up Plasma to my liking. Hopefully I can make some more bug reports on the way. And I really hope I can enable encryption without a passphrase and experiment around with virtual keyboards to get that properly to work.
- Comment on Installing a standard Linux just works 4 weeks ago:
It would just have a “desktop mode”. But of course it should be possible to add your own game mode if you want to. Especially when you have full control over the distribution.

BTW, you can move the mouse while holding the Steam button. No need to switch controller profiles.
- Comment on Valve's custom kernel patches for SteamOS' kernel; how many are up-streamed into the mainline kernel already? 5 weeks ago:
Awesome! Gimme some energy and I will try to run OpenSUSE on there.
- Comment on Nearly 30 Percent Of The Top 100 Steam Deck Games Aren’t Verified 1 month ago:
I don’t care for Linux compatibility anymore. I just play whatever game I want to. Luckily I almost never play multiplayer games so that is also no problem for me.
- Comment on Do you guys play old AAA games? 1 month ago:
Old games I recently played:
- Sim City 2000
- Gothic 1-3
- Might and Magic 4-5
- Diablo 1
I play plenty of old games. They don’t get worse with time. Of course nostalgia also plays a big role for me. But Diablo is not a game I know from back then. Only in a negative light, when I tried it once, couldn’t figure it out and never touched it again.
- Comment on RetroDECK - Yuzu Removal from 0.8.0b 1 month ago:
Guess you didn’t see the news. The lawsuit is over. Nintendo won. They settled for a payment of 2.5 or so million dollars and have to delete Yuzu and its source code.
- Comment on How do I permanently enable the right trackpad in game mode? 1 month ago:
Not possible as far as I am aware. We cannot change the controller layout for game mode.
- Comment on Bazzite as an alternative to SteamOS? 2 months ago:
No idea. But I would even be too lazy to pop in a hardware key. And too paranoid about getting the key stolen along with the Deck.
- Comment on Bazzite as an alternative to SteamOS? 2 months ago:
Yeah, trouble with Bazzite at the moment is that you need a keyboard to decrypt it on boot for now. I’m waiting for the ability to enter my passphrase with the touchscreen.
- Comment on Bazzite as an alternative to SteamOS? 2 months ago:
I’d say SteamOS is a viable emergency laptop replacement as is. You can already use most office software in desktop mode.
- Comment on New to Steam Deck and PC gaming, I'm looking for game recommendations... 2 months ago:
Portal 1 and 2. The spin off Aperture Desk Job is also an introductory game for the Steam Deck, explaining all the controls.
Apart from that there should be a top games played on Steam Deck somewhere around here.
When you start playing shooters on the Deck try to get comfortable with gyro aiming and maybe flick stick. Many games don’t have aim assist on the PC, so aiming with a stick is harder than on consoles.
- Comment on Steamdeck setup without PC 2 months ago:
You only need your Steam account and wifi access. Everything can be done on the device. You can pop up a virtual keyboard with Steam+X. When you hold down the Steam-Button you get an overview of all the shortcuts.

- Comment on Noob Question: What's your process for backing up your Steam Deck? 3 months ago:
Settings of apps installed via Discover are stored in
/home/deck/.var/app. Settings of the desktop and pre-installed apps including Steam are stored in/home/deck/.configand/home/deck/.local/share.For backing up I wouldn’t bother much with differentiating between stuff I want to keep and stuff I don’t. I’d back up everything in my home folder with
sudo rsync -avP /home/deck /WhateverTheLocationOfTheDriveIs. Let the Deck format the drive for you and then this command will copy the whole deck folder over and preserve all permissions. You can start it over if you get interrupted for some reason and it will pick up where it left of.I’d only worry about what to copy back when setting everything back up again. But I probably would just start everything from scratch to get rid of garbage.
- Comment on A Suprising Discovery Inside The Steam Deck's APU - the LCD APU has multiple unused cores that were later removed for the OLED version 3 months ago:
Maybe they are not hooked up to the board. Otherwise there probably would have been something to see in the drivers, I reckon.

Nice, I’m really itching to try out mainline Linux on my Deck.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you're thoughts on a Steamdeck with a PSP Go form factor? 3 months ago:
That’s my point. The Switch still is relatively big compared to a PSP or DS despite being relatively low powered (compared to the Deck). For now you have to sacrifice a lot of computing power to hit the form factor of a PSP.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you're thoughts on a Steamdeck with a PSP Go form factor? 3 months ago:
Those already exist based on Raspberry Pis or similar SBCs. I once sold some pretty cheap (cheap, not low cost) ones with the intention of making enough money to be able to afford one for myself. Until I realised that it’s much cheaper to slap a controller on my phone and call it a day.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you're thoughts on a Steamdeck with a PSP Go form factor? 3 months ago:
I think the main factors for the size of the Steam Deck and other similar handheld PCs are the size of the APU and heat dissipation. You’d get some serious performance degradation if you went much smaller. Even the Nintendo Switch is a similar size.
- Comment on (TRUTH) New year and reflection time for past 6 months 3 months ago:
I’m bedridden, so it’s my primary gaming device. But I got a new table for my laptop so that has taken up video playing duties which previously were done by the Deck.
