It doesn't work with steam machine?

Hopefully that won't stay true for long.

?

It doesn't work any different when using a single system.

Edit: I'm not referring to the old sustem where you'd authorize a system to play your games on other users.

I'm referring to the way you have to log in when switching to a new user.

You can have multiple accounts on a single deck. The switch is pretty quick, but you do need to auth in some way unless you set it to not require it.

You do not need to install the same game multiple times.

Essentially, if you've ever used the desktop client with multiple accounts, the functionality is very similar.

That's one of the things Knox does. It's really just a brand name for a bunch of software features in Samsung devices.

The "secure folder" feature that allows you to install apps in a siloed way is available on a personal device, too.

You can even encrypt the partition, garbling it and completely disabling everything inside it until it's unlocked again. Using it does require a Samsung account, which is dumb.

EXT4 is your all-rounder. Unix feature complete and reliable. No actually big downsides that would make it insufficient for, well, anything.

BTRFS is your complex and feature rich option. All the modern file system features like copy-on-write, snapshots, subvolumes, deduplication. Good for putting an operating system or user files on. Stuff you might want to snapshot or sort into subvolumes, etc.

XFS has some neat features too, but it has one main focus, _performance_. The difference isn't massive since it's just a file system, but for the fastest transfers speeds, with the smallest CPU impact, nothing beats XFS afaik. It's also fully unix feature complete, so it has no trouble with symlinks, hardlinks, permissions, etc. EXT4 can theoretically be faster if handling a ton of tiny files, but game files are usually above that threshold.

Unknown.

It'll be running some kind of ARM soc. Hades has been demoed running flawlessly on it. No VR titles yet, but there is no reason they couldn't work, too.

Huh?

Didn't this already land in non-beta last month?

I used it just last week.

So THAT'S what the indent in the case is for!

I don't power it off.

Then again I only let it sleep a couple hours at a time at most, since I know I'm using it again soon. It's not like you lose half the battery by doing that, and the whole point of the fast suspend and resume is so you can stop and go while on the go.

If I'm leaving it overnight, then I power off.

I made one with sound.

SEE NINTENDO?! _IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!_

You should be able to try to launch the games in a readable terminal from heroic, from game properties or something.

That should allow you to see any errors.

I think I've been using pcsxr for too long to care.

Is there anything that makes duckstation worth using over the other psx emulators?

The difference, like the other commenter already pointed out, is whether you take something across a border, *and then leave it there.*

If you take the stuff you brought with you, back when you leave, then you didn't *import* it. Import tax is exactly that, a tax on stuff moving from one country, to another. If you bring it in, and then out again, nothing changed.

As such personal items aren't subject to this, because the owner is *coming* **and** *leaving* with them. Technically there's a whole song and dance that should happen when you come and go, but that's massively inefficient, so customs will just sit there and trust that if you have something to declare, you will.

And a lot of the time people don't. Like a phone they bought while abroad. That's technically something you need to pay for, but it's not that harshly enforced. It just doesn't matter compared to the import taxes collected for large commercial shipments.

That's false mutual exclusivity. What other thing could you not also do, without buying an extra one?

I'm having trouple parsing this comment into a sentence that makes sense. You don't penny pinch e-waste? What?

Either way, a lot of people won't think about this in terms of mere monetary value. Every bit of plastic counts.

And that's before considering that not everyone can afford to make trivial purchases. And even if you can afford it, I can't imagine making purchases without thinking about it beyond whether I have the money. That some people don't think past that, contributes to tons of problems.

I could easily afford a more convenient and smaller GaN charger to replace the one I got with my Deck, but it wouldn't _really_ bring me any new value. Every cent I'd spend on that purchase would be more efficient when used for something else.

If not for my needs, then someone elses.

People care. And they should. You bother me, because behind your comments, is the suggesting that we shouldn't. To you, one less piece of waste is "not worth it". That's wrong.

So you're saying buy the US one, throw the charger that comes with it in the trash, then buy another?

Wasteful.

I didn't have a USB PD charger that went above 15W until the one that came with my Deck. I use it as a slightly slightly faster phone charger, too.

And no, the vast majority of new ones do not go above 20W, either. It just checked. Sure they all work, but your claim that "any" charger hits 60W is complete nonsense.

I would try to somehow order it in france.

Having the EU plug on the actual charger is just nicer, but more importantly, the warranty is longer.

The power adapter accepts 100-240V, and the same one is used worldwide. They just put different plugs on it (you can see the seams if you look close).

Great!

If you want Sunshine to run and stream the game at the deck's resolution, you'll need to add a "Command Preparation" entry to set and unset the resolution and framerate requested by the Moonlight client on the deck.

Mine look like this:

`sh -c "kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.hdr.disable; steam steam://open/bigpicture; kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.mode.${SUNSHINE_CLIENT_WIDTH}x${SUNSHINE_CLIENT_HEIGHT}@${SUNSHINE_CLIENT_FPS}"`

`sh -c "kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.hdr.enable; kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.mode.3440x1440@165; sleep 3; steam steam://close/bigpicture"`

The first one disables HDR (colors are wrong on the deck otherwise), launches big picture, and sets the main monitor to whatever resolution and framerate is on the client end.

The second re-enables HDR, sets the monitor back to its native resolution and framerate, waits 3 seconds for the resolution change to finish, and then exits big picture. (The wait is so that the normal steam window doesn't get placed weird while resolution is different)

You can modify these commands and test them in a terminal before setting them up in Sunshine. You can remove the HDR toggle since you're on x11, and you'll want to check what the ID of your main monitor is, for me it's "DP-1".

Just tried it on my arch system, works. Not sure what's wrong for you. Nothing sticks out in what you posted.

But like the other guy said, you should use Moonlight/Sunshine.

Better latency, better picture quality. I was able to set up AV1.

Plus unlike steam, you can set it to run things at the decks screen resolution. Using steam I get giant black border's because my desktop is an ultrawide, but even on 16:9 you'll get small ones, since the deck is 16:10.

I can tell you more about setting up Moonlight/Sunshine if you want. I have it configured so I can remote into my PC in big picture mode, and then I just use my deck to play whatever.
