  With Google’s new “don’t be paying for anything someone else will do for free” MO I’m doubtful

  The only controller I’ve ever really enjoyed using is the steam controller. Just about everything else felt worse than playing using a mouse and keyboard. To each their own though, if you like controllers then more power to you.

  I’m surprised they’re not pursuing govt grants and trust/foundation funding like a terrier. There has to be money out there for digital preservation work.

  Flatpak is a great choice for Steam in particular. The native install requires a full 32bit multilib install from your distros package repo, flatpak steam boxes all of that up on its own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨snap rant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Flatpak is slowly improving. I think the biggest problem with the flatpak ecosystem is lack of widespread understanding by new maintainers of how to package flatpak well - you see a lot of new packages by software authors who don’t yet understand flatpak permissions and package quality suffers for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many USB hubs can you daisy-chain to a single port?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a hub on my desk next to my monitor so I just ran the extension up the back of the monitor and fixed it in place near the top edge. That was enough distance (maybe 18-20in now that I think about it) to resolve the interference. If you play around a bit you might find that even 10in is enough distance. Try a USB 2 extension cable too, that’ll keep v3 signalling at a distance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many USB hubs can you daisy-chain to a single port?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked around that by plugging in a usb2 extension cable that came with something I bought and placing the 2.4ghz transceiver maybe 2-3’ away from the hub. Same deal with the mouse and keyboard, they need to be a reasonable distance (some # of inches) away from USB 3 signals.

  +1, powered USB3 hubs have worked fine for me as well. Keep them away from any 2.4GHz transceivers though, I’ve had issues with RF noise from them wrecking wireless mouse/keyboard signals.

  Slow news day, eh IGN?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck as a laptop replacement?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, yes, you could do this. Is it viable? Sort of, but only while docked - you’re not going to get a lot done on the go on the deck unless you’re carrying a portable monitor, mouse and keyboard and at that point you’re carrying more than a laptop around.

  Personally I really like my 16in screen on my work+games laptop and it has much better performance and cooling than the steam deck. If I had to pick just one it’d probably be the laptop.

  But yeah, knock yourself out, it’s probably a fun project if nothing else.
