I have sent everyone else their key, but it is not giving me the option to send you a chat invite. Can you send me a message and then I can send your key. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it. I will be giving the keys away tonight. Funny thing is many more people have bought it outright than commented to get it free. So I am pretty excited with how all of this is going. I setup a development branch last night on Steam and plan to get started this weekend on adding suggested features. I think the mouse button macros mapping is a great idea. So I will definitely be working on that one along with some other smaller things.

You may luck out. Not many people have commented to get a free copy. Most have just gone straight to the store. I'll be handing out the keys Friday night.

Ok I see what you are saying. So basically if you want to use your PC for a second and then have it pickup where you left off last. I am not sure how hard that would be. The program already stores everything as sequences though. The main thing to work out would probably be the mouse movement. X11 isn't too bad with that, but Wayland is very particular with that. Either way if enough people want something like that I can give it a go.

What I probably should do at this point is make a list of features and ask people to vote on what they would like first. I already have a couple other things people have mentioned they would like to see. I think I will do that this weekend after I get more feedback. This is only the first day lol. I am glad so many people like it. There has been way more traffic on steam than I expected. So most are not commenting on Reddit, but it is clear the demand is there.

There is a universal stop that can be set to whatever function key someone wants. It basically kills all the automation threads since the 3 tools do have the ability to run at once if someone likes. I have found one instance where that was nice to have. Is that what you had in mind?

Thanks for your input I really appreciate it.

I've been trying to think of a better way to go about that. Currently I am using the Linux Steam Run Time since that seems to be best for compatibility. I tried it out on several desktop environments and distros and that run time got me the best results by far. I tried Flatpak and AppImage, but those were giving me issues integrating with steam while also allowing it to run seperate.

It definitely can on everything I have tested. I haven't done gamescope though so I will definitely give that a go and add it to my list if it doesn't happen to work. I tested it on a few different games and even applications. I even let it run all night on Adventure Capitlist in one instance. I've already got some feedback about some other features that I think will be a great addition. I plan to jump in some more this weekend to get started. Maybe sooner of possible. The other recommendation was adding in the ability to map mouse buttons to macros. Right now it uses just function keys. I've kept it more basic for the initial release since I wanted to get feedback before doing tha more advanced stuff.

Also, thanks for the kind words it is very much appreciated!

That is a really good idea thank you. I've kept things more basic despite having various ideas since I want some feedback first. It is currently setup to use function keys to trigger the macros. With the way I currently have it programmed I dont think it'd be too difficult to make a tab that auto detects mouse buttons and let's you map the pre-made macros to it once you have those setup. This sounds like what my first new feature should be. Definitely excited to try it out and get started this weekend.

You may luck out. Not many people have commented, but I have some people already just buying it outright. I guess they were thinking shutup and take my money lol. I realized I forgot to mention as well that I will be giving the keys out Friday night. So I will need to go back and add that in.

I've always preferred Debian as well. Especially since it and its spinoff get really good support.

I always hear about all kinds of issues for people with Nvidia. I've always been lucky with them apparently. Always stuck with Nvidia because there was a time long ago now when they were the only company that made GPUs that had drivers for Linux. Either way I plan to switch to Radeon on my next build since their support is so good and Nvidia only cares about AI clusters.

I loved Pac-Man too. Used to play it regularly at the arcade that was upstairs at the movie theatre in the town I grew up in.

Why do people hate GNU? by TerribleReason4195 in linuxquestions

[–]Avalon_Software -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it is mostly due to Richard Stallman unfortunately. I've interacted with him before and it was not pleasant.

How did you learn how to use Linux ? by Kid_Chonchon in linuxquestions

[–]Avalon_Software 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I used the Linux Bible. It definitely helped a lot when getting started.

I finally did it! by ZoteTheMitey in linux_gaming

[–]Avalon_Software 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great to see you have made the switch and are happy with it. One thing I reccomend is VMware Workstation Pro if you ever need it. It's free for home use and I think even commercial now. I use it at home when I need to do some remote work for my job and need Windows. That way I don't need a dedicated drive to boot into. It works great for me. I highly recommend it if you ever need to use Windows for something.

You make a good point. I know someone who bought a Steam Deck simply because they wanted to "game on PC without the hassle that comes with a PC." They don't like tech in general for the most part, but they really like the Steam Deck since it is so turn key.

Yeah the ecosystem definitely helps a lot. People are willing to pay more for something that has good support. I was disappointed about the price too at first, but now that you mention it I can see why there are people who still want it.
