Had issues like that from time to time, when graphics drivers got borked during the update/did not exist for the new kernel.

solution was allways to either remove the drivers and reinstall them or rollback to an earlier snapshot and wait a week.

nah, one is never to old to learn stuff.

a tough, but hands-on start would be something like https://www.theodinproject.com/

it’s a free course for web development and their material is really good, so even if you don’t finish it you’ll aquire some good fundamentals about programming.

sadly that does not match your language preferences, but a lot of knowledge tends to transfer or helps to understand different approaches.

you could also try a course like Introduction to CS and Programming or other university/college courses. they are meant for people who start without programming experience.

sometimes i like that a lot of my work is typical enterprise stuff. nothing gets to prod without some poor soul working through a huge test catalogue on a seperate environment and/or a higher up signs off on it.

it’s also annoying because, you cant “just ship” a small fix or change without someone signing off on it.

sure, if the limitting factor in a case like this would be the speed of computation and not slow IO than implementing the computation in another language would be a viable way to increase performance.

cassete beasts is a pokemon-like game, that wont require to much power.

ember knights is very simmiliar to hades, both are great roguelikes.

doom2, blood, duke nukem 3d etc run with low power consumption.

a hat in time is a 3d jump n run that can ve limitted to 10 watt tdp (maybe less)

pillars of eternity, great game so far, did not play a realtime-with-pause rpg since kotor, but thanks to the auto-pause settings this plays really well. And while i can’t claim to understand whats going on right now, the world seems to be really fleshed out and combats so far where very fun.

brotato, fun take on the vampires survivor formular.

backpack battles, an autobattler, but players don’t draft from a shared pool, so you’ll mostly draft the same builds everytime and don’t care much about the builds you are dacing. not somerhing i’ll continue playing, but it was ok to waste a bit of time, would probably be cool on mobile.

doom2, but i am allways playing doom, so i guess that does not count.

And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.

depends on what you backup and how.

if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.

complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.

i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.

so is dracut and weston.

i think that naming software after towns in Massachusetts is somekind of red hat in-joke.

technicaly correct, and i am no lawyer, but i can’t see how in the world i owe anyone a warranty that loads code on their machines, compiles it and uses it, all without any input by me.

everything that i intend to be more than throw away code, that lives for whatever reason in a public repo gets either an MIT or an gplv3 license.

nah, than ibm will annoy you, that they need a special license that allows them to be a dick while using your code.

just like they asked the JSLint guys to use JSLint for evil.

code that needs a license, but i really don’t care what you do with it gets a wftpl.

i’d try 720p if that matches your tv.

no black bars, probably no visible downgrade and maybe a tad smoother fps wise.

you could try 1080p, your deck wont explode or anything, but it probably leads to more fps fluctuations.

apex legends works. the finals does not, because of their anti-cheat solution.

for multi-player fps games remember that you’ll play against pc players, they’ll have keyboard and mouse and you won’t have assistance features you might be used to from console fps. Experiment with gyro controls, the touchpads and/or “flick stick” you’ll might find a way to get similar speed and accuracy as a mouse user, but i’d guess you are in for an uphill battle.

have a look at the control schemes provided by the community for games, if you don’t like the default controls.

my competitive fps days are in the past, but i can recommend some single player fps i enjoyed on the deck:

• Doom (2016)
• Black Mesa, the half-life 1 remake.
• Amid Evil
• Boltgun
• Borderlands 2

e: www.protondb.com to check how various games work on the deck. some games are not “verified” by valve because they only show xbox button prompts, or some “unplayable” games run perfectly fine with a specific launch options

it’s intrusive anti-cheat-software operating on a system level where it could be a viable attack vector. thats what sucks.

what also sucks: this will make one of the most played games in existence unplayable on linux. and only so riot looks like taking a problem serious, that is probably much smaller than people think.

other than that: mobas absolutely require mechanical skills, that cheats could assist you with. there impact might not be as obvious as an incredible high hesdshot rate, but being able to consistently last hit creeps will give an ever increasing advantage over your opponent, canceling certain animations will increase the damge you are able to dish out over a given time frame and seeing the trajectory projectiles will follow makes them easier to dodge.

hell just supplying more information than the standard ui can be a huge advantage: knowing what your opponets buy, or invest there leve ups in all the time, displaying their cooldowns and stuff like that.

Good book.

Fyi: Libre Office is the actively developed Open Office fork.

Don’t know how it stacks up to MS Office though.

Thats rogue squadron.

I think op means squadrons

A reddit post explaining how to find the correct path and install texture packs for dolphin

I don’t have emudeck installed on the deck currently (and i might be at work right now…) But this should still be the way to do it.

For other emulators you might be able to find the correct path if you right click on the corresponding library entry in desktop mode. Choose “manage”-> “show in file explorer” or something like that.

Emudeck is “just” a collection of emulators, so you should be able to just follow the process as if you installed the emulator yourself. This process will vary from emulator to emulator.

E.g. For dolphin it’s basically drag and drop the custom textures to the right folder. Dolphin forum post explaining it You’ll have to use desktop mode for this.

I think RetroArch is a simmiliar ordeal, but other emulators might work differently.

No, it just means that it’ll run through proton without tweaks, show proper controller glyphs and default to graphic settings, that lead to playable frame rates.

Just finished my first playthrough of baldurs gate 3, so another playthrough of bg3 after i decided on some mods to keep me on my toes during combat encounters. Or i delve into the old infinity engine games (baldurs gate, icewind dale etc.) That i never really played because kid me did not understand them.
