My son bought a second-hand Windows 11 PC for games, and has been having BSOD issues with the graphics card since he got it. Out of desperation he tried installing Bazzite on it, which I encouraged, but was also trying not to get his hopes up, telling him that the some things might not work. But he reports that "absolutely everything works better than Windows".
I suggested he use KDE for the desktop, and he is blown away about how good everything looks, and how easy the user experience is. He has used Linux for a bit probably 7 or 8 years ago when he used a salvaged laptop at uni that had Ubuntu on it, and he remembers that being a bit janky and frustrating, but now he's decided that he'll wipe the Windows partition and stay with Linux.
So keep it up, clever people that are making Linux distros and software, you're winning.

If you like adding non-Steam games to your Steam Deck I have something for you! An update to my tool for batch configuration of non-Steam games from a config directory you can back up

It now supports both customizing images on official Steam games and setting "wide" images

Jetzt wollte ich zocken - und scheinbar hat Cloudflare wieder Ausfälle. Oder was auch immer. Jedenfalls lässt sich Steam nicht mehr starten. Meh.

Was mainly at #GOG instead of #Steam for a while now. However now I also have a reason to also move on to actually playing through the huge pile of shame too.

And if worst comes to show I also have an impressive physical (mainly Nintendo DS) games collection too.

Just need to take inventory so that I actually know what I have and even more importantly in what box it is.

I don't play early access games, but I've had my eye on Enshrouded for a while now. I'm looking forward to the official 1.0 release. #Enshrouded #Steam #Cloud #Gaming #VideoGames
