If you keep it plugged I all the time, there’s a Decky Loader plugin called Powertools that has a handy charge limit for the battery. For a Deck you take places, limiting it to 80% is a good compromise that will increase battery life. For a Deck you leave plugged in all the time, I would recommend to set the limit to 50-60%, which is a good “resting” charge that doesn’t put any stress on the battery from being too drained or too full.

I have a first gen Deck, still at 98%.

The data comes from the battery itself, as far as I know.

On the plus side, SD batteries are easily replaceable.

Uh, that’s used to keep the game from pausing when it autosaves, like it does on Windows. I don’t think they use it any other time.

Actually it would probably be even better then that if it wasn’t plugged in all the time. Without battery conservation on, the battery lifespan is reduced by being plugged in constantly.

Nobara is pretty good, but after trying Bazzite I made the switch pretty quickly.

One of the best things about it is the stability. You don’t have to worry about an update failing and breaking something. Another neat thing is that updates for the OS are unattended, they happen in the background. And if you set Flatpaks to also auto-update, you can have a machine that has zero maintenance, assuming you aren’t running something in a distrobox. That’s great for a lot of machines, but especially a gaming rig, where you might not be doing as much ricing.

I mean, you basically nailed it.

I mean, if this isn’t doing it for you, the sales figures for each handheld are public knowledge. And the Steam Deck still has a sizable lead over competitors, despite the technically weaker performance.

OMG here’s a five paragraph comment on how that’s the wrong distro for you

Because so far he’s been mostly winning, hasn’t he?

I would make a deal with any demon to see Google and Apple utterly defeated and broken up.

There’s also the fact that her(?) repacks sometimes don’t install for some people, for some reason nobody has really figured out yet. But they’re a solid choice for those who sail the high seas, because at least you know they’re clean.

It’s Epic games without the Epic games launcher. Also replaces GOG Galaxy. And you can shop both stores from Heroic.

It’s part protest, part practical solution. If I was one of these sites, I wouldn’t want to bother spending money figuring out the best way to verify age when you can just ban everyone from those states and blame the politicians (it is their fault the law exists).

And one good thing it has done is drive at least some of those people to VPNs, which has to make spying on what people are doing a lot more difficult for ISPs and the government.

I remember reading in school about how the American colonies lawfully seceded from England. It was all done according to the letter of the law, with a lot of respect from both sides on how cordial the whole process was.

Don’t you know? All the best darknet marketplaces are cobbled together from code strangers gave you on SO.

Is that what that word means? I’ve heard British people use it in media and just thought it meant idiot or something 😂

That is completely missing my point. I’m sure there’s literal rocket scientists who have had to work at Arby’s to make ends meet, but that has nothing to do with Ross lacking the intellect to properly manage one. We’re not talking about immigrant doctors in this thread.
