There’s also games without DRM on Steam if you’d rather not spend more that what’s been gifted. As Steam itself doesn’t track those, there’s those two wikis keep track of it if you want:

If you get the Steam Deck and storage runs low, as the Deck is based on Arch, may I suggest ncdu?
GrapheneOS is also here on ActivityPub, on the microblogging side, and the profile reported the issue in messages through some days:
@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social
Alternatively, maybe just making a new folder on the USB’s root and putting stuff in there would suffice?
Also if the OP uses Ventoy, from my tests you can put whatever in the partition for the ISOs without interfering in Ventoy’s functionalities.
Sounds quite dystopian, setting a precedent for either (or both) the host being considered accomplice for any wrongdoings of any third parties, and/or inducing hosting companies to become informal polices. And it comes in quite a curious time, when the EU is trying to push for chat control, some US states are trying to push for AI surveillance cameras, Brazil passed a law that requires apps to do facial recognition, GrapheneOS is being targeted by French news media, and all those using potential crimes and cherry-picking cases to justify.
As a replacement for this community or the proposed expansion, I am against. Either the Steam hardware side would be eclipsed, or the other devices would. Also, I interpret that such a Linux handhelds community could include Linux phones, which would stray even further from the original Steam Deck proposal from here.
Now, as a new community, I wouldn’t be against.
The problem can also be a positive, so that communities for more specific niches can be created, or to have alternatives for already existing ones with different management philosophies.
Personally, I like the idea of becoming more of a “Steam Hardwares” community, as them being all kinda niche but close in scope, they shouldn’t conflict with each other nor turn the community into a too generalist one.
Ah, hadn’t came across it. Thanks!
And about the post itself, first paragraph is a bit concerning. Wonder if we will be able to uninstall the official spyware. But at least they are transparent it will be there and put it right in the beginning of the text.
Android stuff on PC
To have an alternative for BlissOS.
I see, what I shame =/
Thanks though
Sadly not what I’m looking for. I’m looking specifically for the system as a whole being Android, not a system running inside another.
Cynical as I have become in recent years, I can’t help but to think it’d be due to a VM seldom carrying interesting data for data brokers - your real machine is usually where the “good stuff” is.
Depending on what you work on, maybe there’s an alternative FOSS or at least paid DRM free software?
Or, if you work for a company and it demands this tool, maybe you could ask them to provide the software for you?
On a 3rd point, I’ve seen official softwares detect when they’re being run in VMs or similar, so maybe that’s what happened.
On a 4th point, if you must use a crack, maybe do so on a less usual Linux system, so if it’s a functional one but packaged with virus, the virus breaks either because it runs under Wine or similar, or because the less usual system lacks some needed dependency for the virus if it can run on Linux as well?
Found a few candidate tools though can test neither now, mutool (part of the mupdf tools), PDFtk, qpdf, pdf2txt (name sounds familiar though it might be memory playing tricks).
If any of those could be found as a single portable exe around 2020, chances are it is the tool I used for it.
Iirc, tested it out quite a few years ago, and I had to use a software that would both decompile and recompile the PDF, and while it was decompiled, I had to remove the repeating pattern I didn’t want with something like Notepad++. File got recompiled a bit over 50% bigger iirc, maybe different compression methods, but the pages themselves didn’t seem affected.
Sadly can’t remember the name of the program I used for compiling and recompiling, only that it’d do both and that I looked for how to remove watermarks from PDFs. Also the program was certainly offline.
Some times it isn’t about the destination, but about the journey itself.
cd command.
No joke, when I started, it was the thing I stalled on the most as it’s so basic no one explains
Maybe can ask also on !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works?
