  • The steam deck is kinda inconvenient when any level of tinkering is required due to switching between game and desktop mode and the input if you dont attach a keyboard and mouse. Non-deck distros lose the quick settings which I really like.

    Try bottles too. you may or may not find it easier than lutris. I find the dependencies easier to install. After checking if anyone has already documented what dependencies are needed (directx, dotnet, etc.), I usually start with the default wine bottles uses, then try wine-ge and tkg at least before giving up. I have yet to find a game that cant be made to work but other software can be very finicky especially once dotnet is involved.


  • Bazzite for my gaming pc, steam deck, and family members. It just works and they cant fuck it up. Even brother laser printers official drivers installed for my mom’s comp. Gotta check the details of that cups exploit though. My gamig pc is also the fallback pc I expect to always have working and for servicing any others if problems come up.

    Arch or arch based, except manjaro which has screwed me over too many times, for having easy access to pretty much any software that can run on linux, or just stuff that requires too many hoops to jump through to get working on atomic distros like bazzite.

    Dietpi on my SBCs like the ones running klipper for my 3d printers

    Debian for my servers, homeassistant etc, but I’m planning on checking out coreos.

    Also alpine just because.




  • I could see riding one of the fully enclosed quad or trike type, but I would miss being able to easily bring it inside. Although here it would probably just get stolen, or get run over with me in it by a big truck. The other day in the wind storm I actually got lifted from my bike by the wind and the roof add-on seems like it would just have caused the bike to go flying with me…




  • there’s nothing hot about it. Its simply the tried and tested method of mount the panels in a stand don’t put anything on top to block the light. some silly dude already tried floor solar panels and they lost too much performance to the protective layers alone. this looks like plain unarmoured panels directly in a high vibration location, flat against the ground where the heat off the back won’t escape and dirt and snow will build up with nowhere to go because of the rails
