    I&#39;m seriously intrigued by the &quot;new&quot; :linux: distro #omachy. Considering installing it on one of my old #Thinkpads. Anyone using it? And if so, how is it for #LinuxGaming? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7fe9pa8OeE

    RE: https://mastodon.online/@9to5Mac/117293373468933663 This is just sad, why do people keep using Meta services? If you are going to use an AI chat agent, at least use one with some degree of dignity and moral compas. Like Claude or Mistral. I use Claude for work (as my employer demands, and pays for) and Mistral personally (through Kagi Assistant).

    Are orange #watch straps still a thing, or is it yesterdays news? Because I found this really cool and comfy orange (I have to admit orange is one of my favorite colours in general) nylon strap for my #Garmin #Fenix7pro. But is it a bit cheesy to use these days?

    I&#39;ve finally started my journey with #ResidentEvil 4 (remake) today. It&#39;s my first journey in this universe. I&#39;m not very good aiming with controllers though, so not sure if this will become a game I play on the #LegionGoS, or if I&#39;ll just play it on my PC. It runs very well on the Legion Go S. I can get about 60fps, just have to adjust a lot of graphics settings to Low/Medium and turn off some stuff (none of it is very visible reductions on the small screen anyway). #SteamOS...

    I had totally forgotten how violent and grotesque #DaysGone are. I picked it up again today after not having played it for a year. I remember everything. Totally i&amp;#39;ve played the game over 90 hours, I think this is the game I&amp;#39;ve played the most, like ever.

    I created a repo on #Codeberg today with my Fedora &amp;quot;gaming-script&amp;quot; (optimize Fedora for gaming) and guide for making the game Neverness to Everness to work with Steam on Linux. More will probably be added to the repo later related to #LinuxGaming https://codeberg.org/vidrir/linuxgaming

    After 3,6 hours of play, I died for the first time. Yeah, I play #Replaced on #EasyMode and I&amp;#39;m not ashamed of it :lol:

    Grids are fun... Not really sure what I was aiming for here, I basically just added the first nine games that came to mind.

    Daughter 1.0 and I can confirm that #nevernesstoeverness works flawless on #Fedora :fedora: with a bit of tinkering to get it installed through Steam (using DW Proton latest). Note: you have to download and install it manually, you can use Heroic, I chose Steam. #linuxgaming

    Ended up replacing #PopOS with #Fedora (KDE Plasma) on the gaming PC today. Could not be happier! Dual screen, mouse focus, fullscreen... Everything I struggled with gaming on Pop!_OS works out of the box. Not sure if its because of Fedora or KDE Plasma. Wasn&amp;#39;t to much hazzel setting up proprietary Nvidia drivers either.

    RE: https://gamepad.club/@Vidrir/116375994176946096 Almost two weeks later and I just got a push notification that the postal service have delivered the last half of this #mechanicalkeyboard in my mailbox at home. The temptation to play hooky and go home to finish my build is real...

    Received a new #watchstrap for my #watch today. Not sure if I like it or not. The look is very rugged like I usually like it, but it feels a bit over the top, and its absolutely no flex in it at all, so not very comfortable to wear compared with the stretchy straps I usually wear. #watchstraps

    I&amp;#39;m pretty sure this is my next game purchase. Just waiting for a bug patch or two, and a :steam: sale 🤔 https://youtu.be/1k3OntYlsKc?is=lR8j0DOU-N-LKpwx

    Anyone tried #MorbidMetal on #SteamDeck yet? Looks really cool, but it&amp;#39;s Ubisoft, so I&amp;#39;m slightly sceptial... :ghost_blinky: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1866130/Morbid_Metal/#

    I bought a keyboard kit on sale and the webshop just sent me one of two packs of switches... 😡 So now I have to write back and complain and wait a week more before I can finish the build.

    So I bought #VirtualCottage2 because it looked interesting and I haven&amp;#39;t really tried so hard to understand the cozy game, zen game thingy... and I still don&amp;#39;t understand what the point of this game is!? It&amp;#39;s OK fun to build my little cottage or apartment, but is there a goal? And what is the point of the ToDo list? Is this game just a zen-thing combined with a very cool looking ToDo app? Also, it&amp;#39;s Linux native, but just crashes if I don&amp;#39;t run it with...

    Bought #Contrast for close to nothing on the :steam: sale. What a fantastic gem of a game. It&amp;#39;s over ten years old, but looks and feels awesome today.

    I&amp;#39;m currently on Pop!_OS for complicated reasons, but struggle with mouse focus and dual screen. I didn&amp;#39;t have this problem with Bazzite, but dont want to go back there. After some investigation I think it&amp;#39;s related to COSMIC vs KDE. - Geforce RTX 4060Ti - AMD Radeon 7 - 32GB RAM So the question now is, what&amp;#39;s next for me? #LinuxGaming

    Is it just me or is YouTube :youtube: more and more drowning in AI generated bullshit videos? Especially videos related to Linux :linux: distros.

    On our way home from easter vacation, we had to stop and take a picture of the bus the two teenaged boys drove into the a tunnel wall and devided Norway in two for a couple of days last weekend. They made it out alive, but now risk financial ruin to pay for the damages.
