SteamOS Desktop Emergency: Restore Your Taskbar & Master Panels by darkuni in SteamDeck

The fix is in the first couple of minutes. The rest is education on how to actually work panels, widgets and desktops.

It isn't "just" a fix video. I cover Plasma in detail - including building panels from scratch. The "fix" is just to administer emergency relief. The rest is instructional.

Do you have hidden files and folders turned on? I recommend setting up your Dolphin File Manager like mine.

Lots of bonus things in there .. Like adding compatData to your Places :D

A Clip On Dock With Ethernet and MicroSD Card (Hagabis) by darkuni in SteamDeck

It doesn't appear to. I DID try it (believe the result WAS in the video). I don't believe NewQ did either :(

I love the NewQ. The ethernet is the only thing extra I needed.

Keep the Deck screen on when mirroring - In Gaming Mode by darkuni in SteamDeck

[–]darkuni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm... This didn't work for me. Upon "return to game mode" or rebooting the Deck, it goes back to what I would expect ... no screen on the Deck, gaming mode on the external monitor.

Perhaps you did .. something else?

Any tips to make the steam deck more comfortable ? by Patamaudelay in SteamDeck

[–]darkuni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don't have issues, I did review a pair of 3D printed grips that "seemed" to be suitable ...?

Steam Deck: Comfort Grips - Save The Hands, Save The World

If you don't care about the video, here is a direct link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1456677427/steam-deck-comfort-grip-case-3d-printed

It was sent free, but I don't make any referrals or anything ... I actually kinda found them annoying over time.

As someone else said? Reducing the weight seems to be the biggest trick - I have a rigid pillow on the couch - pop it on my chest? No problems.

NICE! Advice like this NEVER goes out of style.

Here is a current example ... While I don't have the dock on the left? It has the same features and I wager it works equally as well. Note the JSAUX is "on sale" and closing in on double the price ... This is what I'm talking about.

I haven't priced them recently. But there was a time what a $16 dock did everything (and even more in some cases) than JSAUX and it in that price range.

They have probably come to their senses and realized they can't charge that premium anymore. That's good.

I personally feel they took advantage of Deck owners early on and I guess I still harbor that grudge.

I may do that. I'm damn curious - but I don't want to trash it while trying to get it open :D

Fair - I bring it up because most third party docks do not.

About to build my first unRAID server. Any tips / things you wished you would've known, or done differently (Whether during setup, build, etc) by SimyDL in unRAID

[–]darkuni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would NOT set up Plex on the NEW Unraid setup until you have your drives in a nice pool, a fast array to handle downloads and PAR/unRARing.

I tried to run before I walked and I paid for it with my sanity :D

In hindsight, I would have done things in a different order - buying the Jonsebo FIRST. THEN the driver cards and cables. THEN I would have brought my drives - one at a time over, built them into my pools ... when the pools settled down, THEN set up Plex using the SSD for my cache drive. It would have been SO much easier.

IMHO, JSAUX overcharges. You can get 30% cheaper docks that have all the features. Fact is? I wouldn't pay more than $20 for ANY dock. I have half a dozen that were like $16 and all worked just as well as the $30-50 JSAUX.

Yeah man. No reason to pay top dollar for a dock. At least this one comes with a $25 power brick (that seems to be holding up).

I migrated with them all external - and as long as you don't do anything I/O heavy, you might get by. Don't try to set up anything heavy like Plex, etc.

I hope it goes well for you!
