Unintentionally posted a pretty compressed version of this… but you get the idea haha

Totally didn’t mean to post this a second time. I forgot I did the other day

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ve looked into (and set up) a few of these, but there are a few I definitely need to look into more! Need to learn more about sandboxing apps as well.

Oh this seems great, definitely checking this one out

No shame in that. I considered myself a pretty proficient Linux user until I installed arch lol

No experience with audio stuff but I feel you in terms of photo editing. Lightroom is gonna be sad to lose but darktable seems pretty good and if I’m being honest I mostly edit on my iPad anyway.

For games if nobody answers your question I’ll test it out when I get home from work

Nice, I’ll have a look at those when I’m home from work! Gamemode is pretty cool I never even thought about installing that.

The start menu was getting so painful 😭

 

Hey all, I’m a longtime Ubuntu user for work and recently switched my desktop to arch from windows after seeing how well games run on my steam deck! I’ve wanted to move to Linux fully for years but gaming on it used to be pretty hit or miss.

So far arch has definitely been more involved to get going - but I managed to get a desktop environment that runs great with my gpu and steam. I love how minimal it is out of the box and I’m getting a lot of ideas of stuff to build with it.

Anyway I’m mostly just posting to introduce myself to the community on here and to say how much I’m liking arch so far.

But, if you have any tips/suggestions of things I may have missed to take full advantage of my system when gaming, I’d appreciate hearing it! Also, if you’re running a setup like this, any favourite packages you have?

Wow, I know I’m late but I’d love an invite! No worries if there aren’t any spots left tho

 

Took this pic a year ago. One of my faves from last summer (:

I love taking still life’s at home!! Such a great feel to this pic

 

I was lucky enough to be given a test roll of lomography’s new film, and here’s my favourite shot from the roll.

If I’m being honest, I definitely underexposed the whole roll, and I’m disappointed with the scans I got from a lab I don’t use often. I have seen some stellar images with the film though so I’ll have to try another roll soon.

 
 
 

Just wanna say that I’m loving the steam deck so far overall, but wow I just started playing rogue legacy and I realized the dpad is basically unusable for me.

I personally love modern and retro platformers and not having a decent d-pad is very disappointing. For now I’m just using an xbox controller instead, but I would love to see this improved with the next iteration of the deck.

Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on this topic!
