  • I would strongly recommend not to dive into NixOS yet.

    It has its benefits and I think it’s awesome, but it has a bit of a learning curve and you already have plenty of learning to do with going mouseless and the whole interface stuff. You do not want to deal withbreakages in unstable NixOS, or broken Nvidia drivers in stable.

    If Bazzite’s immutability is holding you back, just switch to another distro you are familiar with: Be that Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, whatever.

    Hyprland is the most complete and configurable tiling window manager today, so definitely start with that. You can install it in any Linux distro.



  • Of course we all have our preferences and personal history with these things, but I think we can all agree that most preconfigured Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE ISOs with popular desktops are already more sensible and simple than the mess that is “searching for a setting in Windows”.

    Whether it’s GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon, Budgie, Mate, XFCE, LXQt.

    Compared to Windows, every Linux desktop is a blessing. Even that one that you personally don’t like or had a bad experience with.














  • Does Cold Waters work well on the Deck?

    I’ve been hoping that the new Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age will work well on the Deck in a year or so, and was planning to stick to Dangerous Waters until then.

    My P-3 (maritime patrol aircraft) bindings are shared on the community bindings already!

    DW runs incredibly efficiently. The graphics look like 1999 anyways, so I just dial the TDP all the way down to 3 W and set FPS to 20. Perfect game when the battery is low!. I haven’t modded it at all, I actually like the retro vibe (and the incredible sonar simulation).

    I am so happy for you. Loving yourself and being kind to yourself is so vital and can be very difficult. It still is for me.

    I recognize a lot of what you guys here have, but to a lesser degree: apparently my “life difficulty” setting is not set that high. I seem to be extremely lucky to not have eating or sleeping problems at all, which keeps the rest manageable.

    I deeply respect all you troopers, wherever you may be, for living life on the hard and extreme difficulty levels.

    Hope you find the therapy and/or medication that helps. In the meantime, the dishwasher and the occasional strong coffee (not regularly as that won’t work) should help.

    Keep on keepin on!
