If you have a USB Type C dock with ethernet, it should be solvable, right?
- Comment on [help] Getting my first steam deck tomorrow 1 week ago:
Regarding battery, learn how to utilize power draw slider. Unless necessary, play games on 30-60 FPS. Your battery will thank you for that.

I liked the game so much, I finished it in 3-4 sittings. So it was not a “pick up and put down” game. But it’s probably my fault. Now I have to unlock the good ending.

- Use the device as is. It doesn’t need a lot of tinkering. But in case you see your fav game is tagged as “unsupported”, check out the game on protondb.com. Chances are it’s probably well supported.
- If you intend to travel a lot with the device, you can buy an Apple AirTag or Tile
- The device is excellent for indie games, 2d/platformers
- If you want to connect it to your living room TV or use it as a gaming console, you can buy a dock and a pair of controllers. Great for local play.

trying to install apps or programs on the Deck if they are not on Flathub is quite a common use-case
an average user should not have this problem on the first week

Nowadays, I don’t even check if it’s SD compatible. I just check if it’s controller-friendly.

Since Microsoft also wants x86 apps to work on their Qualcomm powered Windows laptops, can this project help Microsoft in some way?

Valve can poke Rockstar can’t magically make the anticheat work. It has to come from the developer

Nuclear apocalypse happens and internet is down
- Get ISOs of games in a USB drive
- Plug it into the deck and install

Hi there, just a small correction. Compared to existing linux distros, it’s slightly different. Steam OS is an immutable OS, which means you can’t edit the root partition (Like you can’t edit the C:\ drive in Windows). This is both good and bad. Good -> Users can’t mess up their device while trying to mess around with it. Updates are smooth because Valve knows the previous state of the OS. Bad -> It’s bad only for extreme power users. You can’t run your own kernel, install certain build packages to do some advanced stuff. But this is a tiny tiny bad.
Overall, Steam OS is great and I believe will be the gateway for the general PC crowd.

Steam Deck + USB type C dock + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller. You’re done

You mean to say that my great-grandson can finally play Destiny 2 on Linux?
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 3 months ago:
Hi there, I can see that the thief is currently using the device. Will it be possible to send a link via my friend saying “Yo bro, check this meme. This girl is crazzyyyy
<link>” which, once clicked, gets the GPS coordinate?For example, it’s possible via browser to get the location of a device. Can the same thing be done on Linux? I can create a simple nginx webserver on my spare server but unsure about how to proceed.

Can I share a game with my relative who lives in a different country? Or does it need to be under the same Wi-Fi network?

Google and Apple worked together to provide cross device notifications One of the rare instances of collaboration where it actually matters.
Somehow this news flew under the radar for me
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 3 months ago:
Thanks a lot! I wanted something like AirTag but for Android. I am convincing myself to wait for the Steam Deck OLED 2. I’ll buy the tracker and put it under a decal or something.
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 3 months ago:
True, but I would have been filled with regret if I never even tried the official way of recovering it :(
is trying to get you to drop the issue so they don’t have more paperwork.
I had to visit 3 police stations before they agreed to take my case

Can you give me a little more detail on this? How to enable it and does it work on devices without GPS?

Hug it again for my sake :(
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 3 months ago:
But by reporting it you remove THEIR obligation to provide warranty to someone that innocently buys a used steam deck
It should teach the person never to buy stuff without an original invoice. The buyer should understand it’s a stolen product when they opened it and saw that there is an active account associated with it AND the charger is not included.
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 3 months ago:
I’m pretty sure about it. I put the Deck in the bag, put the bag in the house and leave. After I come back, it’s gone. There was no one else other than the workers.

While they belong to Urban Company, they were called as external agents for this particular job by my renter.
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 3 months ago:
This is actually a terrific idea. Unfortunately there is a high probability that the workers will use their mobile data to access the form. But I’m thinking how it might be possible to set this up in a believable manner. These workers from the lower lower middle class section of society and they don’t understand forms. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the egg. It’s eggcelent.
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 3 months ago:
Yes, i contacted valve. They marked the device as stolen. The Valve employee said that it won’t be applicable for future warranty attempts. I’m not sure what else is possible.
I hope when the thief connects his account to the device, it get banned or something.

It’s not mine. Just a random image which is like my emotional state at the time of the event.
- Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck 3 months ago:
I, along with the rest of my family, are probably too trusting of people. At my old place, i used to leave stuff like this all the time and I never even thought that it could get stolen.
I wish I learnt this lesson earlier but in a different manner. 😔
