¿que?

Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just sharing what was taught to me. I don’t really have the spoons to sit here and debate or defend it.

I was really enjoying the video until he used the word “ricing”. While the creator may not know, that word is fairly racist.

oh hey, i’m in that screenshot!

So Bazzite basically is an immutable 3rd-party SteamOS. It was originally designed for handhelds (though has desktop images now) and includes the Steam Deck’s gamemode package. That means it has the same interface, but working on a Legion Go or an Ally X. If anyone here has* any of those three you should seriously check it out!

The other thing as well is that more often than not, the update will succeed and you won’t figure out until the next boot that something is wrong. However, Bazzite has a rollback tool so you can just change back to the previous image, reboot again and get to gaming.

That’s the best reason for immutable for gaming IMO. I don’t want to be fucking around with the OS when I’m in the mood to game. Being able to quickly rollback and jump into things in ~10 minutes or less is how it should be.

I guess I’m just cool enough I get invited regardless? Or I find out about events in other ways. I’m fine to miss a thing here or there because I don’t give my data to Zuck tho.

Edit: Also glad I’m not on there anymore considering the whole LGBT stuff that’s happened this week.

I’m not aware of any equivants for Facebook…

I went with just not using it, has been amazing :)

They even have instructions for doing it yourself, using whatever upstream OCI image you want (including one of the uBlue projects).

Do you have a link for these instructions? Really interested in making a hybrid of Aurora-DX & Bazzite.

“Fuck you Microsoft, I’m moving to Linux” says the individual that would never move if they haven’t already

I posted this in a comment somewhere on Lemmy about a month before I moved. It took me a while because I have a chronic illness, a disability, and the whole process takes a lot of sitting at my desk which is quite hard on my body.

Not everyone’s circumstances are the same. I get the sentiment you’re trying to share but cut people some slack…

Not just that, but I think it’s important information to disseminate because it can be used to hold other game’s developer’s feet to the fire.

At the end of the day the WINE community is doing absolutely free work to allow game devs to reach a wider audience, and with the sunsetting of Win10 this year, that’s going to be more important than ever. While not a huge marketshare, there are plenty of users like me that will just straight up not play a game if it doesn’t work under WINE.

I don’t understand what you are saying about the n-word? It was always meant as an insult/denigration in English as far as I’m aware? Are you referring to its use in other languages as the term for the colour/shade black?

Ah cool, that’s exactly where pipx installs to as well :3

how do you personally install yt-dlp? I just use pip(x).

Yeah, I figured you might not know, sometimes terms just become divorced enough from their original intent that the context isn’t clear. I didn’t think you were a racist at all.

Here’s the method I use to update my Legion Go’s bios: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/update-bios-lenovo-legion-go/

Ah yep, found an article about it, it’s indeed disappointing behaviour on their part.

I still won’t support the pi foundation though.

Can I ask why? (/gen)

Thank you 👏

That’s obviously a backronym? The wikipedia page makes it clear it’s an offensive term.

FYI “riced out” is a pretty racist term.
