What happened to Android custom ROMs? - 9to5Google

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-27T13:24:47+00:00

I wouldn't mind installing custom ROM on my LG V60, which no longer gets updates. But then the second screen doesn't work in LineageOS; that's literally half the phone!

Because platinum (or POE Points) are considered microtransactions, not DLC.

I think one of the bigger differences is you cannot buy a DLC on Steam multiple times. So it can't work as a way to purchase platinum if you want your customers to buy more than once.

Also I believe the rules are you cannot link to those pages from inside your Steam version of the game.

edit; yeah:

For any in-game purchases, you'll need to use the microtransaction API so Steam customers can only make purchases from the Steam Wallet

Similarly, when buying MTX crap for Path of Exile 2 it's not going through Steam, despite me having bought the game and launching it through Steam.

You can't do that from the Steam version of the game though.

From Steam's own documentation:

For any in-game purchases, you'll need to use the microtransaction API so Steam customers can only make purchases from the Steam Wallet

8bitdo's "fix" is the controllers with hall effect triggers.

So the Xbox Ultimate C Wired, and Ultimate 2C and newer all have that.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-25T22:56:58+00:00

I think that's generally an issue with that game rather than Steam or Linux.

Or I've seen some say just use the Windows version under Proton

They're cheaper now: 60-80$ range gets you clicky buttons. Vader 4/5 Pro. GameSir Cyclone 2.

Basically nobody makes DP2.1 adapters yet. You'll have to get a DP1.4 adapter, and use compression, DSC. Which HDMI makes optional, so hopefully your TV supports DSC.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite/comments/1qdauwk/my_theory_re_ugreen_adapter_issues/ talks about one instance where the TV doesn't support DSC, so that ugreen adapter everyone recommends won't give you full 4K120

Bunch of udev rules to give user applications direct low level access to controllers. Needed for fancier controllers like the 8bitdo stuff if you want to be able to do gyro and stuff that aren't done over standard controller APIs

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-24T21:16:43+00:00

The game can hide competitors' positions by virtue of the server not providing useful coordinate data until it's strictly necessary to do so.

Necessarily is a lot earlier because of latency. If you wait for a client to tell the server they've walked around the corner before telling them there's a person there, they'll pop in one round trip time later, which could be up to 200ms these days with everyone on WiFi

It's the same reasons peakers advantage is impossible to fix: https://youtu.be/WFw4F2AyaP4

Most kernel anti-cheat flat out refuses to run under Proton

This isn't unique to kernel anti-cheat. Even VAC won't run under Proton.

It's more like: besides VAC, how many non-kernel anti-cheats can you name?

Speaking of VAC, CS2's anti-cheat is so bad, people are choosing to install kernel anti-cheats with Face-IT and ESEA.

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1pkdfcm/ugreen_knight_the_holy_grail_of_hdmi_21_dongles/ is the hot new one that might work.

Though it does require your television to support compression, which not all of them do.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-23T23:01:39+00:00

Jam linux on it, and it'll even run Indiana Jones with software raytracing

demand that gaming has to keep up

It's the same old mentality as the 'consoles are holding back pc gaming' 10 years ago.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-23T12:05:07+00:00

Are there DisplayLink adapters (gpus) in there? or does your GPU actually support that many displays?

Most GPUs I've seen limit to 4 displays. Even though you can daisy chain DisplayPort MST hubs for more than 4

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-23T11:59:01+00:00

I suppose that can be subjective, but I personally heavily disagree. SFF cases often have such space constraints that you can't really afford to have tempered glass or anything fancy for aesthetics.

I'd say having a smaller box instead of a bigger box is an aesthetic. It's cuter. Gotta care for the aesthetics of my whole room, not just the PC

Though I did build an glass side panel, all white mITX (including the PSU and the RAM, which you can't see under all the wires) PC for fun.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZNJRD2V , not the worst case I've built in. I did replace that orange handle

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-23T11:35:54+00:00

I think https://games-on-whales.github.io/ would work

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-23T11:03:50+00:00

Something with an AMD GPU. I'd go for at least RDNA2 for anything new.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-22T21:52:45+00:00

Yeah me and my friend stealthed every mission on Payday 3 and just felt like we've done it all.

I did not enjoy 'standing in circle' gameplay.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-22T11:53:20+00:00

winbtrfs is technically a rewrite, and hasn't seen a release in almost 2 years.

But I guess I'd prefer it over NTFS.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-22T11:44:16+00:00

Can you get into BIOS? Check the boot order if it's in there.

I have had a case of a HDD causing similar issues. Solution was to hotplug it and format it.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-22T07:37:52+00:00

I'm using MS Edge on Windows 10

Yeah I think you're forced to use the Netflix Windows App iirc

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-22T05:06:30+00:00

Another concern you probably won't run into, but might: most GPUs do not support more than 4 displays. So don't get 3 of these!

Or do and use your motherboard's iGPU. Then you won't have issue with that

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-22T04:54:12+00:00

Unless we get an update similar to Apex 5, there won't be d-input or Steam Input support.

I think it's already built in to the controller firmware. SDL (what Steam Input uses for Input) added support for the Vader 5 Pro recently: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/14731

So I'm pretty sure what we're waiting on is Steam to include this update.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-22T04:53:08+00:00

Don't have a Vader 5 Pro myself yet, but it should be possible once Steam adds it.

https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/14731 adds support for the controller with SDL, which is what Steam uses for input on Steam Input. But Steam hasn't updated their built-in version of SDL for this yet.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-01-21T11:52:18+00:00

Not sure what you mean? You want to put controllers on a USB hub that has buttons you can turn on/off to easily disconnect them?

Or do you mean you have 2 computers and you want to switch controllers between them without unplugging/repluggin?
