Statistically speaking, NTFS has probably contributed to, or been directly responsible for the most actual deaths.

Fantastic Foreskin posted:Its a completely open platform, no jailbreaks for anything, provided you're willing to deal with Arch or install windows. kinda don't want to, honestly.  I pick up a game device, I don't want to think about partitions or button mappings or see a menu of thirty different scanline filters, or see a bash prompt. I don't even want to look at a file system. That's part of the reason why I was turned off of RetroPie

Unless it's broken as poo poo for some reason, I plan to use the steam deck as-is. Not going to bother with anything that doesn't work with the stock configuration.

You won't need to install other operating systems to install custom software. You'll be able to install native non-steam linux apps on the device out of the box, including any emulator with a linux build (which is most of them). And you'll be able to use wine to run most non-steam windows apps too.

So, if Steam / Big Picture Mode were to crash, I guess you'd get bounced back to the KDE plasma 5 desktop, because Steam is just another app, albeit configured to start on boot. I'm thinking about how Emulation Station on Retro Pie* crashes you see text mode Linux, likely with a login prompt. Emulation Station had exclusive control over the screen, much like you'd get running DOS. * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVQVmsFOclM The United States posted:"if the games work" is dependent on the emulator devs doing the actual work, and several retroarch devs seem intent on driving them to suicide or out of the emulator programming hobby at least https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/graphs/contributors https://github.com/twinaphex Hooooly shiiiiiiit. weekends and weekdays for a decade for an unpaid OSS project.

Nah, Steam runs in its own tiny window manager. When it exits, the system just restarts it. You have to explicitly launch desktop mode, it's not running in the background.

Being able to plug in a usb-c hub and connect in a monitor, keyboard and mouse to use it as a desktop PC has been in Valve's marketing since launch. kde plasma because it's familiar to windows (conjecture, but i mean look at it) SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Feb 3, 2022 |

There will be a lot of custom setup involved in running your games, on a game-by-game basis. That will probably be the case for "non-supported" games, but Valve is creating a system/list so you can see at a glance which games will work "out of the box" on the Steam Deck. The list might be limited at first, but I imagine it will grow quickly after launch.

There will be a lot of custom setup involved in running your games, on a game-by-game basis. Roms and what not could be squirrely. But luckily valve is tailoring the steam library to be very easy to discern what will and what will not, and what may require tweaking out the box.

They're already rolling out Steam Deck Verified certs: https://steamdeckverified.avery.cafe/ or https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app_keynames&type=-1&keyname=530&operator=1&keyvalue= but requires logging in with your Steam account.

Things can be very finnicky with these things on windows that’s for sure. Most of the time once you get things set you don’t have to do anything again but some games love to reset their settings. Hopefully the SteamOS fixes some of it.

Yeah, every time I look at retroarch the UI pisses me off. it's like here's linux-gaming.jpg - looking to remap keys for your 16-bit system because you have a keyboard plugged in? please configure analog deadzones and usercounts ... scroll down alllll way to the bottom to set something as unimportant as what buttons do what.  sorry about this derail, lol.

There is no one in the world who doesn't think retroarch's UI sucks. Steam is testing that games run acceptably at default settings, which is cool and good, but I've never seen someone have access to a settings menu and not fiddle with it.

Just use Duckstation if you're going to play MGS. Too bad they're not going to work on Duckstation anymore because they got harassed off the internet by the Retroarch guy, though.
