Jokes on you, because just that you learned to read analogue clocks, makes your brain more plastic. I am sure you know what that word means, but for anyone else, plastic means adaptable. The more things you learn the easier it is to learn more things.

You sound like someone who doesn’t know how to read an analoge clock.

I bet you could figure it out if you looked it up. And you would be better for it ❤️

To be fair, this is my experience in academic computer science also

Then change it Ian!

Possibly, but these will change on the regular

I used to use i3 as my main desktop, now I run sway. But I haven’t installed i3 or sway on the steam deck. Mainly because I have spent years perfecting my i3wm config, used days converting it over to sway, then used months tweaking it. And I just don’t want to do that again on my steam deck.

But here is what I would try if I didn’t have two kids and lots of responsibilities.

I’d try installing sway, or i3wm if I couldn’t get that going in an arch Linux distrobox. Arch Linux just because I am familiar with it, and it’s very maluable. Pick which you are most familiar with if you want. And then I would launch that as a non steam app.

Then what I am dredding the most comes next. Configuring the window manager. I’d take my current sway config, or my current i3wm config and just rip out what is not needed. And plan and craft keybinds together with a steam input configuration… I think it would be possible to make a very comfortable and usable configuration.

the main thing I think valve should do to make desktop more usable is to detect when a keyboard input is in focus and show the on screen keyboard automatically. And also show move it to the top if it means you would see the text input field. Or maybe use some gamescope magic to move the viewport you are looking at the desktop so that you always can see the text input. Or some apps like terminal emulators would have to be resized.

It won’t be perfect, at least without improvements to gamescope. But it can be quite interesting

Native vulkan or opengl games doesn’t need to translate thees calls, if directx could run. Natively on Linux, it wouldn’t have to be translated

No

Yes

And for some finding religion is about having a reason to invade another country

What about instant, instant 3 in one, or viet style?

Why did you do that! I deleted my whole file! It was important

I realized the change, when they changed their motto away from don’t be evil.

I don’t care what their motto is now, if they needed to change their motto away from don’t be evil. It’s because they couldn’t follow it

Americans never make fun of, or go to war with people of other nations

Free education for all, teachers who are paid enough to care

Don’t forget, we also need to shine special light onto the rock

There are multiple ways it can Ops mess up Linux boot loaders, this is one of several

I have no patience for this shit, the last 5 years, if a game doesn’t work in Linux, I don’t need to play it

Don’t need proof that it isn’t a bug, it’s happened to me multiple times since Windows xp, all the way until the last time I tried dual booting with windows 7…

At that time, I decided if a game doesn’t work in Linux, I don’t need it. Luckily dxvk and proton came around that time

I don’t care if it’s a bug or if it’s intentional. Fuck off windows

The only other thing that I know also is needed is case folding

If there are other features needed I don’t know about them
