@nanoUFO Honestly, I am considering picking one up for Starfield, depending on how they perform there. I'm sure their Linux support isn't incredible, but Nvidia also has a lot of issues on Linux and I've been running my 1060 for years now.
@asexualchangeling@runekn yeah I feel like VR around 2019 into early 2020 was the best it would ever be in terms of exciting new releases and games to look forward to. Now it really feels like Meta is completely allergic to advertising the Quest as a games platform and selling games alongside it the way Sony or Nintendo would. Makes it so much harder to get excited about it.
@alyaza it'll be fascinating to see if hackers pull any extra functionality out of it. After the huge legacy of the PSP and Vita its wild to see something so... not that.
@darylsun I'm just going to go back to having a cronjob that downloads all my favourite YouTube channels to my jellyfin server. No ads, no deleted videos.
I mean the thing that still trips me up the most is that social media and phones still takes away from other tech stuff that I'd enjoy doing more. When I was younger I used to play a lot of Game Boy Advance and then later PSP. Once I got a phone it became just that little bit more difficult to focus on just enjoying playing games!
@sexy_peach The day that my phone becomes user-hostile is the day that I drop it to pick up something more open like a PinePhone. I've gone through the headaches of using FOSS stuff before it was ready for prime time before and I can do it again.
@QuentinCallaghan honestly pretty vile vibes from this one; bodycam murder simulator is at the very least politically tonedeaf and at worst actively malicious.
@shreddy_scientist Honestly really glad I switched to Gnome a few months ago. Finally got tired of the uber-tinkery i3wm and wanted something that just worked and Gnome filled it perfectly. Now that Gnome 44 has added proper support for killing background apps I'm honestly very happy with how usable it all is. Can't wait to see what they do next.
@ksynwa I think it's just because so much of the open source community really went for it after one of the biggest IRC chats fell apart. Matrix was there at the right time to pick up the pieces AND the audience that gravitated towards it were exactly the techy types that most commonly latch on to Federated stuff in the first place.
@altair222 I think it has absolutely been a net-win, compatibility has been improving. And there's a ton of progress that was made prior to the Steam Deck even being released that was (in hindsight) Valve gearing up to make something like it. It's also nice for there to be a defined (fairly lightweight!) platform for people to be aiming for when making PC ports. That being said I haven't seen too many Steam Deck users fall into being general Linux enthusiasts.
