Note that on the whole, life increases entropy, so the `in their vicinity` is a very important part of what you wrote.

Just tell them they won't be getting those sweet Euros from the EU, that worked every time so far.

Not that I wouldn't welcome UK back (under equal conditions to all new-joiners, of course), speed-running is not something EU is capable of. Nor is UK. They will not like having to accept the same deal everyone else has to when they had a lot of exceptions for everything. It will take ages before some kind of agreement is reached.

Yuck. Even if I ignored economy, Trump and everything political, US food is pure shit compared to European food.

Finally, I've been waiting for this.

I don't think I've ever seen someone say an article would be better as a video. Not saying it doesn't happen, of course, just saying that it's significantly more likely people will ask for the opposite, which I've seen quite a bit, especially in the last few years because everything has to be a video now for reasons.

How about people just write down the 7 things? Like, how long does reading 7 bullet points with a paragraph or two for details take? Definitely not 14 and a half minute like the video.

On my PC there were two surprisingly good games: Driftland: The Magic Revival and Hammerting.

Driftland is a really interesting kind of strategy and I quite enjoyed it. Hammerting would be really great if the devs weren't forced to cancel it by the publisher, as such it's unfinished and the game doesn't teach you pretty much anything, so the learning curve is steep. The game loop is fun at first, but gets repetitive (not surprising given it was cancelled).

On my deck I played mostly Palworld because it's great to play whether you have 30 minutes or 4 hours of time, which is kinda needed for me nowadays because I never know how much gaming time I'll have.

Distrobox seems to use docker/podman? Not what I'm after, but I'll read more on it, never heard of it before.

The move is intentional, the configuration file I included makes Home Manager manage .bashrc and .bash_profile, the original files are moved for backup.

Ping wouldn't help that much, there's around ~30 devices on my network. And it's very much possible my PC blocks ICMP. And in addition, nmap includes the manufacturer in the output which is what I wanted to base my guess on.

And if anyone's interested in what prompted the writing of this guide, I wanted to play Palworld but didn't know the IP address of the local PC my server is on. I was also really lazy to get the IP address from the PC itself, so I decided to use `nmap` to scan my local network and find the PC that way. Found out nmap is not installed by default so I had to install it somehow and then I remembered that SteamOS added the `/nix` directory to its exceptions that survive across upgrades.

In short, instead of taking two minutes to get the IP address I spent over half an hour getting nix to work. And decided to share in case it helps others.

I once tried it for work, it was nice, just lying down in a comfortable position and simply moving the screen wherever I wanted it.

Buy a phone controller (like Razer Kishi or Razer Junglecat) and use some streaming technology to play your PC games on phone. My favourite is Sunshine/Moonlight combo, but Steam Link might work as well for you.

On the 1st page I found exactly one game that I'd maybe want to play, but not like I couldn't live without it. None on page 2 and one game again on page 3. Every single game I wanted to play on the Deck works (true, some of them needed some tinkering).

Remember, I said the solution is simple **for me**. Generally the games that don't work are not really my cup of tea, like online games and generally stuff that's more cash-grab than a game. There are few games that would make me consider getting Windows to play, but luckily all of those work well. I still wouldn't install Windows on the Deck, though, I'd probably stream it from some PC.

Well, at least for me the solution is simple: don't buy those games.

True, still a little salty I had to cancel the subscription, I genuinely liked it. But I'm not installing Windows.

I have only positive experience with them. The only downside is it gets hot like hell, but other than that it works spectacularly.

Most games I bought are from GOG and I play them easily on my Steam Deck using Heroic Games Launcher.

Step-by-step:

1. Switch to desktop mode

2. Open Heroic Games Launcher

3. Install game from GOG

1. Log in to GOG if you're not already

4. Add the game to Steam launcher using Heroic

5. Switch back to gaming mode

6. Play

Touché. Though the fragmentation brings more issues than user choice solves, IMO. I think people should focus on making SteamOS available everywhere instead of everyone making their own Linux handheld gaming distro.

But who am I to talk, around 5 of my projects were started because I couldn't be bothered to contribute to other projects and instead opted for a rewrite.
