Not downvoting, but I do quite like that Floorp is just a bit weird. It makes it more fun to use lol.
Civ VII is $160 CAD for the full version though. 😬
I think I posted this before in some other thread, but one time back when I used to use Ubuntu, I opened my laptop and the screen was upside-down. Everything worked perfectly, but just upside-down. I went through every display setting I could find, trawled through forums for hours (on a different, non upside-down computer) and got absolutely nowhere. It was at the point where I was thinking I'll probably have to reformat and start over and this will forever be a mystery.
Then I accidentally solved it when my Playstation controller battery got low and I plugged it into the nearest USB port to charge, which was my laptop. As soon as I plugged it it, the screen flipped back the right way. As it turned out, Ubuntu was talking to the controller and had for some reason interpreted the gyroscope movement as 'rotate screen' the last time I charged it. After a couple of minutes of waving the controller around and watching the desktop spin while going "huh", I just unplugged it when it the right way round and crisis averted!
Yeah my Kobo is great. Plays nicely with Calibre and DeDRM, reads pretty much every eBook format, and doesn't seem to be sketchy about privacy as far as I can tell.
Well, 50% of young people asked were willing to admit to their piracy lol
I still have my original one from however long ago it was when they came out (10 years or so maybe?) and it's still working perfectly well. It's outlasted pretty much all my other controllers, except for the red PS4 controller which mysteriously refuses to die.
I have two, KDE on my laptop that runs Arch (btw) which is my tinkering machine, and GNOME/Pop!_OS on the desktop, which is the one other people use and I'm not allowed to break lol.
Although I might switch the desktop to COSMIC at some point if it doesn't cause too much trouble.
If it helps at all, I'm typing this on a Lenovo Ideadpad 5 that has a Ryzen 5 and 8gb that's running up-to-date Arch (btw) and KDE perfectly well with no troubles at all. I haven't owned the Yoga Slim specifically, but I've had a few Lenovos over the years and mine have all run various forms of Linux quite happily.
The Steam Deck sort-of has it on some games already, but it's a bit hacky. I did get 60fps Cyberpunk going though, which was a nice surprise. It'll be great to get a proper unified way of doing frame-gen though.
When they announced Steam Machines the first time, I thought it was a great idea because it would give PC devs a sort of baseline system to aim for, and then I was surprised when they launched and they were all sorts of different system specs. I'm still convinced that's at least partly why they failed - if you buy a console like a Playstation or XBOX, part of the appeal is that you know exactly what you're getting and what will run on it. If it says 'PS5', it'll run on your PS5.
So hopefully if they try again it'll be something along those lines, kind of like the Steam Deck.
Yeah same here, I just install on my laptop using Lutris and then copy the installed folder over to the Steam Deck and add the main .exe as a non-Steam game. (And turn wifi off just to be safe.) Always worked fine for me so far.
