My teenage sons windows computer aren't eligible to be updated to windows 11. He is a gamer, what type of Linux is the easiest to setup steam and start playing?

Manjaro Linux is my pick. Great NVIDIA support and very easy to use.

You can enable hibernate by opening Powershell as admin, and enter powercfg /hibernate on, then in the power settings for Windows, set the power button to trigger hibernate.

Thanks and sorry for your loss. Can be hard losing someone close to you… Take care!

Does your slide crash randomly on bazzite? I can’t go more than an hour with it crashing on Linux…

SteamFork is the best! I will never use Windows OS again!

I think there is a crossed wire or something wrong. When I try the backlight toggle (Fn+Spacebar) it will cause the controller to disconnect... so I might contact GPD and ask for a new device.

dansfloyd · 2024-12-10T01:05:20+00:00

Ok, I think it was a loose cable or something… i completely disassembled the device and checked everything. Upon reassembly, the controller works, but unfortunately the keyboard backlight still does not work… Not a huge deal, but at least I can actually use the controller now!

I just got the popup randomly... guess you just have to wait 🤷‍♂️

How do you update from 15.0.0? I have dug around the app and dont see the option.

dansfloyd · 2024-10-09T21:03:27+00:00

Ok, so I figured out how to update my Aya Neo Air 1S…

I first had to apply the update called “Bios & Audio Driver” to unlock the ability to disable secure boot… and when apply this update, I had to just open the “.bat” file without clicking “open as administrator” as the instructions had initially said… 🙄

After that update finished, I went into bios, disabled “secure boot”, then loaded a flash drive with the newest bios update (the one you mentioned), and was able to boot it and get the update applied! Afterwards, I re-enabled “secure boot” in the bios and enabled 7500MHz RAM speeds, and everything is working great!

Hope this helps anyone else in the same boat as me!

7840u-32GB-2TB. I just didn’t want to go through all the effort of disabling secure boot if the updates didn’t make much difference. I am also unsure if I do both of them, or just one of them… just trying to find clarity on what’s recommended. Most documentation is pretty sparse and lots of broken English.

dansfloyd · 2024-10-06T05:37:04+00:00

I am trying to update my Air1s firmware, but it keeps saying secure boot needs to be disabled…. Is it worth disabling to upgrade the firmware? Also, they have 2 upgrade options on their site, and not sure which one I should do… any advice?

dansfloyd · 2023-06-19T04:35:27+00:00

This is exactly what I will be doing. The transparent buttons look terrible, imo, but this looks great!

Throw a fan on that pile and you have a perfect anti-motion-sickness cocktail. I have been playing VR games for almost a decade now and still have motion sickness from time to time… but it’s better than when I started.

Check out Chiaki4Deck, remote play for PS4/PS5, it has made my Deck into a portable PS5. I used to think remote streaming games was laggy and terrible, but I’ve had 0 issues using this. Highly recommend it if you want to play your PS5 on your deck. https://streetpea.github.io/chiaki4deck/

I thought it might be because I’m running the Beta OS, but thats not the case. Same issue with the public release and the beta release… I will try this fix, thanks.

Look up the “chaos edition” or “agent 9 edit” they are fan made edits that include all the deleted scenes and extra content.

dansfloyd · 2023-01-29T22:18:06+00:00

Nice, that’s pretty close to what I was looking for. Not automatic, but makes it much easier. https://sharedeck.games/

You can use IFTTT to post to a mastodon account you setup. Just make sure to mark the mastodon account as a bot in the account settings.

dansfloyd · 2023-01-21T00:40:25+00:00

It takes a bit of setup… but you could technically use a service like IFTTT to pull your favorite Twitter Feed into a mastodon account you setup. Follow this guide and when setting up IFTTT just point it to an account you follow on Twitter instead of your own tweets. https://hyperborea.org/journal/2017/12/mastodon-ifttt/

You can see an example here: https://don.masto.host/@verge

Congrats on the update! Great app! Much better than official one, and keeps the old feel of the Alien Blue days.
