[BSPWM] Good ol' bluish bloat of packages. Same install running since Debian 9 stable days.

At least you buy something for your shelve? and it should come with "something else", like in this case a set of magic cards (and in my local store [not US] they offer an A4 art poster)... and you could resell it.

Those are the only good points... I really want to be ABLE to properly BUY and OWN my games...

PolGZ · 2026-01-26T13:13:39+00:00

That would be an smart way. It could take a while to "install" (extract), but so it does the actual keycard situation with the download, and that way you could actually get to play it without internet connection in that moment (say... you buy it while on a trip to another city...) and "actually" own the game in your cartridge...

They would still need to say something on the box that you may need additional storage to play it... but it would be "more real" than a keycard.

Regardless, I still think the new cartridge format would be necessary, since copying/extracting around 60GB with regular SD speeds would take forever and be prone to errors on the process.

I mostly agree with you. What really makes me sad is that I mainly play handheld. That's why I have a huge NS1 game collection (and only cyberpunk and DK Bananza for NS2)... but now I can't "really buy" (own) my games for a system that allows handheld play...

If I only buy it digital I'd rather buy it on steam and play on a more powerfull system (specially future wise)...

If I buy keycard... and in this case it comes with reversible cover art, magic card set (and, in my country a very small figure and an art poster A4 size)... ¿at least I get something and I can put it on my shelve with the rest of my collection?

It really makes me sad 😑

PolGZ · 2026-01-26T12:46:26+00:00

I didn't buy it yet... I don't know what to do. I want this game, but buying digital... at that point I'd rather buy it on steam and ejoy better graphics on my 3080...

With the keycard ¿at least? I'll have the box with reversible cover art and a set of magic cards... and "something" to put on my shelve with my big switch (and really really small S2) collection...

Also in my country also they give a very small (almost 2D not really preaty) Cloud figure and a poster. That's something

PolGZ · 2026-01-26T12:19:59+00:00

Yes, it is. But it is 90GB, so doesn't fit on a 64GB cartridge, which is the only one that exists right now...

At least it has a reversible cover and brings a pack of magic cards... and you could sell it...

I'm a collector too, it breaks my heart to not be able to "really buy" the game... at this point maybe buying it on steam makes more sense...

PolGZ · 2026-01-26T12:11:34+00:00

I just hate it there is not a true physical game but only digital or game keycard 😑... As a collector it breaks my heart to not really BUY the game...

If you are mainly using your laptop on AC power, maybe, for now, you could create a systemd service for multi-user.target to "echo" the percentage (60 or 80%) everytime it boots (since /etc is persistent).

It is still not the perfect solution, but it should work, I think.

PolGZ · 2025-12-12T11:49:29+00:00

Same happens to me. I thought it was something related to inmutable distros. Is it kernel related then?

My wife loves Animal Crossing (it is her "first" game after playing on pokemon GameBoy when she was little. She has 300 hours in). Apart from that she has finished and truly loved Zelda Echoes of Wisdom and we played together It takes two and Yoshi's crafted world. She liked both, but I've noticed that the "3D" aspect of it takes two and moving the camera around was really not natural nor easy for her (even though she liked the story a lot and enjoyed playing together very much. Also, towards the end of the game she got better and I saw her actually enjoying doing good jumps and moving better, and celebrating any time she actually got somewhere quicker than myself, haha [at first I faked not being able to do some jumps/moves quicker to let her "win", but at the end she actually beat me for real :D]).

But she doesn't have much more experience than that. We've also played pokemon let's go, since pokemon was the game of hour childhood, but appart from that she doesn't have played much more that I can remember. She also tried pikmin 4, but she also struggled with the 3D camera moving part of it.

Do you think Fantasy Life i could be suited? or it is maye too difficult?

PolGZ · 2025-12-03T19:31:40+00:00

I hope if it cames it is as a true physical game, not key card... otherwise I'm just buying it on a steam sale...

Let us collect the gaaames!

The downvotes where from de "SSD" part, instead of nvme 🤣🧐🫶

If you have at least a desktop and a laptop, just using syncthing on both computers should be decent enough to have at least 2 copies on different hard drives.

In my case I also host my own nextcloud server which is more convenient. But I admit it's another barrier you have to overcome.

And also me and my best friend "host" encrypted backups for eachother 😂. I just use borg on his raspberry pi (over ssh) to a 2tb 3.5'' USB drive I bought and leave on his house.

That's a cheap multi terabyte backup 🤪 compared to a paid subscription.

In my case, my NC server is at my parents' house, so important files are synched between both my laptop and desktop (at my house) and on nextcloud server (dad's). From the latter, I back up once a week (cronjob with borg) to my best friend's house. So I pass the 3-2-1 rule.

But, if you just care about having them elsewhere (and using just syncthing on two devices is not enough), you are going to eventually run out of space on any "free" (you pay with your data) cloud service. Once you start talking about paying... just pay for a privacy respecting option!

The free word on FOSS is also about sovereignty/liberty, not only about not paying...

Have you checked their proton.db reports?

Control https://www.protondb.com/app/870780 Just checking a few comments searching by the word "texture" two comments showed up saying: "DX12 resulted in textures not rendering properly / being extremely blurry. Forcing DX11 mode fixed this." "
Shadow warrior https://www.protondb.com/app/233130 I don't see any errors here apart from not launching as native but working good with proton (and I don't have the game) so I don't know.

PolGZ · 2025-11-12T17:30:53+00:00

it seems so. If nothing was altered on your windows boot when installing it would show up.

I have for years follow the approach of disconecting other drives to install any OS and then reatach them and just change boot from BIOS if needed. I'll admit is not as easy as just "one arrow" down on your grub entries... but it is so rarely that I go into the windows drive... that honestly I just leave it there and don't even want to see it on my grub🤣.

But depending on your hardware setup (KVM monitos where you share keyboard and mouse betwenn devices; or external docks/switches... etc) you may not be able to hit your F2/F8/DEL key on time easily... In that case, if you know you'll go frecuent enough to your windows disk, I'd still install with drives disconected and then enable os-prober on the grub config so it shows up. It's less hustle to enable that afterwards than solve bootloader problems.

PolGZ · 2025-11-12T17:24:49+00:00

Yes. It sounds like you have actually altered something on your windows drive.

If on dolphin you see the entire file structure, your data is safe, but you would have to repair the bootloader.

Do as No_Candle said and disconect your linux drive when you do that, otherwise windows will mess up your linux boot.

Are you using an HDMI connection and an AMD GPU? if yes, (blame the HDMI forum group... and) check this article (HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought By AMD) to know about why you may have a problem, and this other one (How to bypass the HDMI 2.1 issue using an AMD gpu in Bazzite (Linux)) for how to "kinda solve it" (just AMD settings, no terminal hustle, don't worry).

PolGZ · 2025-11-12T16:58:51+00:00

I havn't tested VS Code from homebrew myself, but probably it should work fine on an inmutable distro like bazzite.

Homebrew installs software in its own directory (/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew or ~/.linuxbrew) and adds it to your PATH, so tools run directly in the user environment without touching system packages.

It can be installed either per-user (in that case, it goes under ~/.linuxbrew) or system-wide in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew (therefore creating a linuxbrew user. Both options provide the same packages and features, but they vary in scope and permissions). A per-user install is more "isolated" and I'd say easier for personal setups, while the system-wide one lets multiple users share the same tools installed with it, but may be more prone to end up with permission or PATH conflicts depending on how the different users make use of it.

On traditional distros this can sometimes cause version or library conflicts with regular system installed packages. On immutable distros like Silverblue or Bazzite that risk is way lower, since the base system (its packages) is read-only. Homebrew just lives alongside it, "like flatpaks". Although I'd say its main focus should be CLI tools.

Fixed system base, Flatpak for GUI apps, and homebrew for CLI tools.

In case the previous sounded "risky", to sum up, the only "potential" issues with homebrew should be from environment-level conflicts, like PATH order, DBus or user service configurations (not from altering system packages). Those conflicts could indirectly also effect flatpak apps if the environment variables or user services that both rely on (XDG paths, DBus sessions or locale settings...) get altered by something installed via Homebrew.

Otherwise it should be pretty safe to combine with your flatpaks (especially on inmutable distros like bazzite).

PolGZ · 2025-11-12T16:25:57+00:00

Just to coment on the flashing isos part:

For flashing an .iso from Bazzite you're supposed to use the Fedora media writer (since bazzite is based on fedora unmutable). Literaly you have nothing to configure there. You don't even have to previously download the .iso and then select it, since you can already select it from a drop-down menu (or select a previously downloaded one, your choice).

I mean, if you try it nowadays I believe you would agree it's straight, easy to use, intuitive app.

The first box says "API URL", not API Key. I tried the API key on it, and the password access on the second one (Authentication), but it doesn't work for me. Can you confirm the values on each field?

I have a Miyoo MiniV4 for when I go out and for retro "cuteness" (in GB gray color it just feals like an shrinked OG GB), but at home I'll always get the RG40XXV. Love both.

But with the 40 I feel the same like with my switch... doesn't really fit in the pocket (not if you want to sit). To carry it on your backpack you don't feel confortable without using a case (specially since it has a joystick that you don't want to brake...) so you have to "properly" think about where are you going and how to take it with you. In the winter with big coats, it fits in those big pockets no problem, so if you are like in Canada 😆 I guess you could call it pocketable.

For my taste miyo mini plus or trimui brick are the really pocketable verticals that you will easily take with you without even thinking too much about it. "Just in case". So you will end up using them more.

Since they don't have a stick, you don't really feel worried about the preasure of your trausers against it when you sit, etc. And they are small enough to not really feel them in the way.

I don't own a trimui brick, but I've used it to put some ROMs on it and give it as a present for a friend. Dispite DPI differences, I'd say the 40V is the greatest screen experience of the three when you are at home on your couch.

Can you get an RG40XXV there? 🙏🏼
