If you use a geforce card, moonlight sometimes runs a bit better than steam link (though I was surprised at just how little latency there was streaming to my phone over LTE using steam link!)

Arcade Paradise is a fun plain old steam game, but it encourages using the joystick, dpad, and touch pads regularly so the controls are very well suited to it

Super No Vacancy posted:twice i've had the controls just stop responding on games, not sure what that's about It seems to be in certain games and related to their implementation of Steam Input. Death Stranding: Director's Cut has all kinds of Steam Input issues that the original game did not, leading to unhideable mouse cursors and double inputs on desktop and on Steam Deck every results screen has a random chance of ceasing all input from the controls!

I'm sure Cemu will have a workable Flatpak in a few weeks or so since seamless Deck support is wishlist feature #1 for the newly open-sourced Cemu at the moment, there's no need to go crazy installing C++ compilers and build systems onto your handheld videogaming console. Good luck to the contributors getting the necessary KDE Wayland multi-head craziness to work though, they're going to need it. Flatpak is a really good piece of software and I'm glad to see Valve bringing it to the mainstream by supporting it on the Deck.

This should work for fast charging the Deck while it's connected to a USB hub, right? I know the Deck uses 45W PD for fast charging, but it's not normally using anywhere near that amount of power, so a 45W charger supplying power to both the Deck and hub should be fine, right?

Came here to ask how I can give the protontricks flatpak adequate flatseal permissions (?) to actually work and see that very software has become a piece of a long linux debate. So while I don’t mean to step back into that I wonder how others have had success getting the flatpak to work? Seems to fail on adding dlls with more involved installs (possibly gui?) like amstream, quartz etc., but there’s not great logging to tell me what’s up. The sandboxing is my best guess? I’d prefer to use the flatpak version (due to laziness really) but if it’s gonna get results I’ll try the package itself.

It’s sucks that you can’t choose different branches of flatpaks - the citra nightly that’s currently available is over a month old, and has a bug where you can’t right click a game and open the folder path. The citra canary branch fixes it, but it needs to be updated manually, which is annoying.

Edit: It looks like Cemu will eventually add it to flatpak. Hopefully it's only a matter of time before every major emulator has flatpak support. Edit2: When I download emulators from Flatpak like Citra and Flightcade, when I attempt to "Open ROM file location", the apps never open Dolphin file explorer with the path. Any advice? Downloading these apps outside of Flatpak do not have this issue Corb3t fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Sep 8, 2022 |

ExcessBLarg! posted:The real safety switch is that they provide a recovery image for when things go wrong. The real safety switch is the recovery images we made along the way.  ExcessBLarg! posted:The functional difference between a Steam Deck and your Linux laptop is that your laptop has a size-appropriate monitor and built-in hardware keyboard. Which is to say they're entirely different. This is my sentiment as well. The Dreck is definitely more than the Switch, the latter of which is a neat portable gaming handheld that nevertheless only barely runs somewhat demanding games, and doesn't do a whole lot else (I mean you can watch Youtube on it but that's not saying much.) It's nice that the Dreck technically is a PC and can more or less do the same stuff you can do with most other PCs, but it's really not an ordinary PC. It's, at best, a gaming handheld that can do some other stuff if you want, but with a lot of software and/or hardware workarounds. Using it in desktop mode with no peripherals isn't a great experience, or at least it wasn't for me. You really need to add a keyboard and mouse, but then you're halfway towards what this genius did which is fine because it's his money and his extra effort to make that work, but as most of the commenters stated, you're better off with a laptop at that point. Commander Keene posted:This should work for fast charging the Deck while it's connected to a USB hub, right? I know the Deck uses 45W PD for fast charging, but it's not normally using anywhere near that amount of power, so a 45W charger supplying power to both the Deck and hub should be fine, right? Not only does this one appear to be rated identically to the OEM PSU, it specifically does 15 V @ 3 A, which is the maximum the Dreck will draw, so it's perfect. For an alternative design at half the price, this is an equivalent option. They also have this power bank, which will be fine for the Dreck, most non-gaming laptops, your phone, and plenty of other devices. The outputs are good, the energy capacity is decent, and it's not a smoking deal compared to alternatives that show up now and then, but it's a reliable option.

Strumming for my kid while he plonked his way through Iron Man/Easy was actually really rewarding. I brought it over to a friend's house, too. A good time was had by all. I need to install more songs. I feel like the really ground breaking poo poo is an iteration or two away, though. From what I've read online, the Steam Deck can't push a high enough frame rate for VR yet. Valve clearly views VR as the Next Big Thing, and a Steam Deck with sufficient system specs would be perfectly positioned to take over for the PC, eliminating the need to run a cable. This in turn would make VR actually viable to a lot of people, myself included.

The only thing I'm not entirely sure how to do yet is change beams, because I haven't gotten a second beam yet (IIRC the Wave Beam is second?). I'm sure it's something like "hold a button and D-Pad direction" because that's probably how I'd do it myself, but the emulator bindings aren't very helpful about that.

Can someone explain me why the wifi connection sometimes is really unstable? On desktop mode it was originally unusably slow, after googling and changing some DNS change it's fine now, but still there are a lot of hiccups or just interrupts in the connection sometimes, ranging from short disconnects to the deck thinking wifi is gone completely until I manually reconnect and it realizes it's fine. Don't have any of those issues on the wifi of my laptop, so I assume it's some settings issue. I don't speak computer at all though, so this stuff is like quantum mechanics to me.
