  Lol. Why is the MSI Claw even up there? There’s at least two whole other handhelds that could have been in the running and they chose the Claw?

  Mostly my problems with Steam OS (and windows Big Picture Mode) is the seeming lack of options for controllers that aren’t Xbox or steam controllers. Steam used to be excellent at this but more recently in Windows 11 (and in Steam OS) the controller support is great when it works but if you want a more granular experience it’s just not there). I somehow have less settings and options for controllers support than I did in Windows 10, and the way it detects controllers cannot seemingly be changed. So if you’re like me and own an SN 30 Pro2 controller with back paddles, you can’t configure them without jumping through a whole lot of hoops. And in game that means that you’re just not going to be able to use them which is a minor inconvenience but one that’s been bugging me.

  To be fair I have invested in a lot of their “niche gimmicks that will never take off”. I’ve owned the steam link and the OG steam controller (my dad still uses that controller to game, he really likes it). I love the steam deck but none of the handhelds have the right ergonomics for my little hands except the Switch, and so I use mine docked. But even then it’s a game changer not needing a huge gaming rig to play games.

  I have the 8bitdo Pro 2 and I love it. Works great with or without a custom config, but in my opinion the config I use makes it worth it for the price.

  Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll check it out.

  Thank you for the explanation. It switches sometimes by accident and I didn’t know that.

  So does the legion go. I don’t understand why there isn’t something built in to fedora to prevent this but I’ve never been able to find a setting for it.

  I’ve got a legion go with Bazzite installed and now I’m curious. I’ll boot into windows after I boot into Bazzite and see if there’s a difference. At least then you’ll know if it’s Linux or YouTube.

  The crazy thing for me is that I have a little handheld specific for dos games. The problem I run into every time is having to setup computer keyboard bindings for each game to play them using the built-in controller. I really want retroarch or another dos emulator to do profiles for different games and I haven’t seen that yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft paves the way for Linux gaming success with plan that would kill kernel-level anti-cheat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was an article not too long ago about how windows 11 was gaining in market share for gamers. But my guess is a lot of them are like me and bought a handheld that can dual boot Bazzite and Windows (because they have games that only windows can play). Most of the games I have are older so no incorporating anti-cheat anything at the kernel level. But I still had to turn off secure boot in order to get Bazzite up and running.

  I wonder how long this will continue to be the case once they end support for windows 10 next year.

  Strawberry is one of my favorites and you’re ruining it. Jesus. I will know no peace.

  Thank you. I knew there was a name for this phenomenon but didn’t know what it was. I’m also pissed about the libraries. I don’t understand why people want to get rid of them.

  gestures at the outside I am not surprised. Outside is a McDonald/Starbucks laden hellscape. There are a dwindling number of places for kids to get enrichment outside their own homes. People in general spend increasingly long times in front of screens for various activities. Gaming is an activity that they can do alone or with their friends that doesn’t require them to pay for things to enjoy them. Some of them don’t even recognize that there is a real world coat for things like vbucks and so on.

  Toy stores are few and far between. We don’t watch media that has significant commercials anymore. What did we expect?
