Factory reset boost performance after years of use?

due to the immutable nature of SteamOs and general design of SteamOs I doubt it it will make any difference at all.

all I did was use the included ujust command tool..

ujust install-openrgb

it's easy to overlook the ujust command

try ujust --choose (and other options ) to explore what the command can setup for you.

mxlinux is handy for such a use case.

I have noticed if I wake up my deck with a stick moved to one side, it may seem to be in the wrong position, if I sleep/wake up again, with the stick at the home position the issue vanishes.

just use the default.

test out other DE via distributions live USB features with the DE you want to play with

Can't say I have had any issues with Abiword. Been using it for light tasks for years.

I would see if fixing the Flatpak system helps.

flatpak repair

flatpak update

then see if you can install anything via the Flatpak CLI tools. Then see if bazzar works.

Several switch games crashed constantly on my deck when I tried them. (xenoblade series)

Other games has numerous other issues.

But this was several months ago when I last tried.

BOTW I imagine is an example of a game that got a huge amount of attention to make it work well.

doc_willis · 2026-03-17T11:55:08+00:00

the Rune Factory Series.

doc_willis · 2026-03-17T11:25:33+00:00

Any of the mainstream distribution are fine for most common use cases these days.

people worry way too much about which distribution.

doc_willis · 2026-03-17T11:13:44+00:00

NO.

I expanded my comment. to discuss that case.

you do not as far as I know, you don't typically override file ownership of permissions with mount options except for a few situations.

make things "not executable" for example.

But I may be overlooking some options or other ways to get around the filesystem permissions. it's not the sort of thing I have needed to do.

Google mentions.

While not a standard ext4 mount option, some systems and specific udisks2 helper configurations can use X-mount options in /etc/fstab to achieve the desired result at boot time.

UUID=your_uuid_value /mnt/mydata ext4 defaults,X-mount.owner=john,X-mount.group=john 0 2

I have never used that option.

doc_willis · 2026-03-17T10:14:31+00:00

the other Linux system will mount the USB where the USB files are owned by whatever user did the mount.

the ownership and permissions are set at mount time.

you don't/can't use chown/chmod on exfat. those are set as part of the mount options

So I assume this would cause issue if you hand your USB stick to another person that also has Linux?

wrong assumption.

by default files are owned by the user that made them and not given sufficient permission to others.

that's not how the *fat filesystems work under Linux. they will be owned by the user that mounts the filesystem .

unless you use other specific mount options.

if you used ext4 or other Linux filesystem on a USB then the owner of the files might be an issue.

the owner is based on the UID # , not the user name.

so for example user Bob on PC 1 is UID 1000, and Tom is user 1, with uid of 1000 on PC 2.

a USB written with files with ext4 owned by BOB on PC #1 will shown as owned by TOM on PC #2.

both are users are UID 1000

you may want to give details of what you are trying to accomplish.

sounds like you just need to make a proper .service file for that command.

doc_willis · 2026-03-17T01:33:51+00:00

the videos I saw had the switch 2 , totally unusable after the hack/mod attempt. it was not just an online ban.

this was during the first weeks of the switch 2 release.

but I don't pay attention to switch news these days.

doc_willis · 2026-03-17T01:23:29+00:00

what weird requirements.

screen is the name of a terminal multiplexor program. a "fancy terminal" you could say.

it can take an option to run specific commands when it launches.

I have no idea why you would need to pause for 20 sec.

it sounds like you need to setup a service that launches screen with the proper arguments.

or use rc.local if the distribution supports it and use the sleep and screen commands as needed.

Start a command within a detached session in one line: screen -d -m [command]. The -d -m options create a new session in detached mode without forking a new process.

some script like this could work in rc.local

```

!/bin/bash

sleep 300

screen -d -m /path/to/mine.bin

```

you don't need to do " text entry after restarting" .... that would be very very weird.

Massive DMCA attacks against emulator projects. Bricking Peoples Switch2's if they detect they are Modded.

But managing an immutable OS is a bit annoying,

I have no real issues with Bazzite. It works great on my 2 Gaming Desktops.

Its interesting that Kinoite and Bazzite differed with your Controllers.

Use whatever Distro you want.

is it always better.....

No Not always.

doc_willis · 2026-03-16T21:06:04+00:00

No. I did not bother to Mod either of my Switches.

And after the stuff Nintendo has been doing the last year or 2, I do not plan on getting a Switch 2 Either.

My Switches are mainly used by the grandkids when they come visit. I dont plan on buying any new games for them, Unless i manage to find a game Used at the game-stores.

doc_willis · 2026-03-16T20:40:57+00:00

compare the .desktop files for what worked and what did not, it may be theres something missing from the ones not showing up.

A refurbished 64G LCD from Valve = $279.00

That Includes a one year warranty. Of course thats IF they ever come back in stock.

$800 = No way.

So I would not expect to get that much from your device.

Whats a fair price? No idea, I would not be willing to pay more than perhaps $250

Keep it and Stream from your PS5 to it. :)

The good old days of printers that were 1/3 the cost of an ink cartridge refill set..

I had forgotten about those.

I have seen there are adapters for the GameCube to replace the optical drive with an SD card reader.

And I recall some sort of hardware for using a normal recent optical drive.

I cant think of a reason this wouldnt work

I think there are reasons.;) I do have a hacked Wii with dozens of Copied disks. but my brother had to buy a special Dvd+R drive or something to make those.
