Not yet. I’m just using RDP ATM. I’m thinking about trying out a small Intel arc GPU and moving over to looking glass.

I virtualize windows for certain apps like Wendell does at level1techs. You can use Chris Titus windows utility to make a microwin11 image for your VM and install Adobe into there. This is a power user solution.
Imo the Mac is technically cheaper than it’s ever been and a great alternative for a second PC.

F this noise dudes. Leave windows while you can.
- Comment on Hori’s officially licensed Steam controller is coming to the US 1 month ago:
I’ve preordered it. I have a few hori controllers. Some are worse than others. Even though its design is pretty much identical to their switch controller, I honestly want to give it a try. My goto controllers lately have been the PS5 controller and the Gamsir g7 se. I have been playing everything recently on Bazzite so it’s been fun to try out different controllers for different games.
- Comment on The full original Marathon trilogy is now free on Steam, but Bungie are still quiet on the reboot 3 months ago:
I hope Bungie realized that if they make another free to play shooter that it will cut into the profits of their other free to play shooter.

Maybe they can try something smaller, more original, and riskier and see if people will buy that. Shorter development time, tighter budget, minimize the scope of the first title and see what people will buy. Leverage the fact that you have all this game tech, expertise, and capital and make three smaller projects that do not compete against the core product directly and come to market quickly.
- Comment on Celebrating 6 years since Valve announced Steam Play Proton for Linux 3 months ago:
Honestly when I think about it, this is just Mac Users have been doing for years. It’s ok to have different devices that do different things.
With that being said, I know my journey with computers was me breaking a lot of stuff and installing software I shouldn’t as a child. If they want a windows PC, make them come up with the build. That’s the best way to share your hobby.

- Comment on EA SPORTS WRC will be adding EA anticheat, game will not playable any more. On ProtonDB game is rated Platinum 7 months ago:
I think it’s hilarious with the market for Linux handhelds this hot that these companies are still like “ew no thanks”
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
Hell yeah brother. Started playing Hades 2 on my custom chimeraOS PC yesterday in the living room. I absolutely love the experience. I’ve been considering getting that Hx100 PC from minisforum and running bazzite on there to replace my custom PC for a smaller console like footprint. The time is nigh!

Oh no … Anyway
- Comment on Valve graphics dev gets Gamescope working on NVK with Explicit Sync 7 months ago:
I’m so stoked for this! I want this in Nobara and Bazzite Asap!
- Comment on Nintendo DMCA nukes 8,535 GitHub copies of Switch emulator yuzu 7 months ago:
Nintendo is going to be the company that makes or breaks the legitimacy of the DMCA. If it wasn’t for the DMCA they wouldn’t have a leg to stand on as they’ve lost in court several times before.
Honestly I think they’re going to start having problems in places like Europe if Nintendo can be classified as a “gatekeeper” on their locked down hardware.
- Comment on Open source NVIDIA Vulkan driver NVK gets more enhancements 7 months ago:
Once Nvidia works with Gamescope, I think it will be high time to move the rest of my gaming PCs over to Bazzite. I hope these changes are getting us over to that reality.
- Comment on $70 titles are doomed to go “the way of the dodo” says Saber Interactive CEO 8 months ago:
Everybody who plays videogames has had this experience
Pay 70$ for a game:
- it’s digital only
- comes loaded with Micro transactions
- grinding mechanics that have a pay to skip function
- single player campaign: 13 hours
- buggy and unfinished glitches and freezes
- PC port locked at 30fps, runs Denuvo.
- gets removed from my library in a few years because “It’s too expensive to maintain and licensing reasons”
“I’m never getting ripped off like this again”
STUDIO executive “I wonder why no one wants to buy these games… Must be the price.”

- Comment on Valve: Windows 11 market share on Steam drops to 41.61% 8 months ago:
I agree with this. The ease of use is the biggest thing to get right.
With that being said I recently built a small form factor PC and installed chimera OS on it for my TV in the living room. It works just like the steam deck. Very low maintenance. I’ve been spending more time gaming on that than my actual PC. It’s always up to date, ready to go and I start playing when I’m ready.
- Comment on Game over for Roblox on Linux / Steam Deck as it's now blocked 9 months ago:
Honestly it’s their choice to do that. This is more of a Linux issue. They should support Linux natively or wrap it in proton themselves.
Roblox isn’t a game, it’s an entire platform. If you run a platform like Roblox, you are probably running into the same monetization issues that Epic has with Apple.
I don’t think Roblox is on steam to begin with so this isn’t really a steamdeck Valve problem.
