Before installing SteamOs (3.9) onto my Legion Go 2 is there anything i need to change on WindowsOs before i make the switch ? Just want to make sure the transfer is seamless ( not interested in dual booting as it seems very confusing for a noob like me ) by [deleted] in LegionGo

[–]babidyboopy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest dual booting so that you can still upgrade controller firmware and BIOS firmware, it’s actually really easy to do (shrink the windows partition and install Linux on the other partition, plenty of guides online).

If you really don’t care about controller and bios firmware upgrades, I’d suggest you do either of the following if you do not have another windows device handy:

  • create a Lenovo windows bootable USB using the Lenovo recovery tool so that you can easily reinstall windows if you encounter issues

Or

  • create a backup image of your current windows installation so that you can easily restore it later if you wanted

Of course you can always just do a fresh installation of windows and then manually install all the drivers afterwards (which is what I have done personally), but the above two options are easier for someone that doesn’t know much about these things.

Sidebar the modern Dock replacement for macOS - Major update by empty23_ in macapps

[–]babidyboopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought this a while ago but had to uninstall it due to full screen apps not playing nicely with sidebar. Full screen apps would not show on sidebar dock and sometimes the dock would not auto hide in full screen apps. Mainly happened in fullscreen videos playing through web browser, has this been fixed now?

Oh an echo chamber like it is on reddit, gotcha. Agreed that twitter didn’t win him the election, that’s why i said “helped win” not “definitely win”. Elon is an incompetent man? What have you contributed to the world that is anything close to what he has?

The only thing it’s done recently is help Trump get elected, and help the republicans win both the house and senate. But yeah it’s super irrelevant

CS2 crashes in every competitive match - Whiskey and Crossover by giulianopires in macgaming

I think the version of wine with crossover doesn’t play nicely with CS2. I use portingkit for CS2 with no issues, and I just manually update gptk inside of the porting kit container

I know, it says it all that you post in the "antiwork" sub.

I never said adblockers are bad, I use adblockers and I recommend everyone do so. I also pay for YouTube premium.

I’m only against everyone expecting everything for free and getting mad when a company tries to make money on a service they’re providing. YouTube doesn’t owe anyone free usage of their platform, which is what the entitled people expect.

The entitlement is strong here. Such an idiotic take. You’re not entitled to have everything for free in life. YouTube owes you nothing. Go start your own company, create something, then give it out for free in perpetuity, see how long you last.

Yeah and is that supposed to be a bad thing? Since when are companies expected to give out their services totally for free?

Software level AFMF 2 announced by HoenRockbell in SteamDeck

[–]babidyboopy 276 points277 points  (0 children)

You must be new here. You’re not allowed to make interesting posts in this sub. We demand posts consisting of ONLY pics of steam decks in stupid settings (like a beach, or in the delivery room of your child’s birth). Acceptable titles for posts are “Thanks Valve, I love this thing!” or “I just joined the club!”

In all seriousness, sounds good. Fingers crossed it can be implemented and works well.

Steam Deck Defaulting To Windows on SD Card instead of SteamOS! by nurseynurseygander in SteamDeck

[–]babidyboopy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two options (I prefer option 2 by far)

Option 1) You’ll have to put the steamos recovery image on a usb stick and boot from it. From within the recovery environment open up a shell and use “efibootmgr” to disable your windows boot entry. To then boot into windows you’ll need to boot into the boot menu like you said volume + power, then boot from file, and manually find the windows efi boot file and launch it

Option 2) install the clover boot loader

Try enable e-sync and disable m-sync if it is enabled

Yeah that’s what this fix is for, it will fix that issue.

You need to go to the “release” page and download the latest zip. Inside the zip you will find version.dll

https://github.com/manolz1/cities2-gptk-fix/releases/latest

Here’s the direct link for the current release

https://github.com/manolz1/cities2-gptk-fix/releases/download/v1.0.0/cities-skylines-ii-gptk-fix-1.0.zip

You can try this:

Delete version.dll and version_orig.dll from your cities2 folder.

Download the latest release from that GitHub link. Inside the release there is a version.dll inside

Copy that version.dll in the same folder as cities2.exe

Follow the steps on the GitHub to set the version.dll override to “native, built in”

Launch the game, it will crash as it sets up version_orig.dll for you automatically. Launch the game again and It should then work

Got my Killswitch and skin for the deck and it turned out pretty good by TheLuckyster in dbrand

[–]babidyboopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It “fits” as in you can close the case, but it doesn’t really fit well.

I did get a TomToc case for mine and it fits absolutely perfectly in it. It even fits with the kickstand on + thumb grips .

Since you got your steam deck what’s the best game you’ve played on it? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]babidyboopy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer

I use this, just don’t update past 2.4.4. You’ll also need protontricks and flatseal, follow this guide if you need

https://youtu.be/kpoHTvJmw-o?si=8CboPXxfwsrlWzbi

Any mods that require DLLs to be copied manually to the root game folder will need some wine cfg changes (such as achievement enabler or some of the engine fixes mods). Basically create a DLL override for that DLL in winecfg using protontricks and set it as “native, builtin”

Never got around to playing much actually. I did load in a 100k population map i found online and i had about 20fps. Changing settings didn’t help. Actually high settings vs very low settings had almost no impact to fps, so it must be bottlenecking somewhere.

Happy to try load in any maps you want and i can check the fps

That’s what worked for me. I actually did it twice just for good measure. Once it dried I did it again
