The Linux Mint team produces excellent software for making the end user experience gorgeous.
My favorite bit of software of theirs is webapp-manager. I have it installed on my Pinephone, and it allows me to make “apps” from websites.
I love that they embrace Debian as an alternative base. Debian is one of my favorite operating systems
Linux Mint = Good
I want to know what’s happening too
The Steam Deck really is a very unique gaming platform. The Proton compatibility layer is a work of art. Crossover, Valve, and the WINE community should all be regarded as gaming heroes. I can play so many games on my Steam Deck that I never would’ve thought possible 5 years ago.
Being able to add your own external or custom games to your library, and still being able to make custom controls for those games, is just pure joy.
What’s really exciting is seeing the constant flow of games go from unverified to verified. It just keeps getting better.
The best part about the Steam Deck one might argue is being able to install ANY operating system you want on this thing. Want to play Destiny 2 and Fortnite really badly? You have the nuclear option of installing Windows. Want to take Linux gaming to the next level? Install Bazzite. Its up to you. YOU are in control.
Sorry, I just really wanted to speak my 2 cents about how much I love the Steam Deck. I hope I made some salient points.
Endless Sky is amazing and under continuous, active development.
You can build your fleet as large as you want too, which can get insane. There’s no cap hard coded in the source - one player I talked to built his fleet with thousands of freighters until his computer started lagging.
Veloren is amazing too. I love collecting lanterns, and taming animals and mounts is great gameplay.
Hell yeah I’m halfway through Phantasy Star IV right now. I love it
I lot of those games on GOG are on that CD!! Oh man secret agent was a fun one
Thank you for the link. Saved!
I just bought the Steam Deck. Its amazing. More and more games keep becoming Deck Compatible and the community has uploaded so many controller configurations.
Linux is a gaming OS now and its wild
I had the Apogee game collection on a CD that was super important to me growing up. I’d like to find it again
Bungie gave me some of the best gaming childhood memories.
So much Halo. I was obsessed with it as a kid. The gameplay, the story… It was a SciFi gaming masterpiece. Super fond memories.
I’m also a HUGE fan of classic Marathon and Pathways Into Darkness. People don’t give these games the credit they are due, and everyone should play them. You can find the Alephone engine, open-sourced by Bungie, and play all of the Marathon games and community scenarios completely free. A well-respected community member even ported Pathways to the engine.
I love Joplin. So muchhh
I love the := assignment operator lmao
I’m interested in installing KOReader on my Kobo. Its good, portable and lightweight software
I love you Wine, you’re my favorite
Joplin got me through my programming course at my community college. One day my laptop ran out of battery so I hooked up my bluetooth keyboard to my phone and just took off where I left off, thanks to the cloud backup. Good memories.
Glad to see handwritten note taking functionality being built in. I use Fedora Linux on my tablet and would love to see this feature on every device and OS
Gotta celebrate the little victories
I read so much bad news every day now, and then something nice like this pops up and I think “well gee maybe things aren’t so awful”
This ad blocking tug-of-war game is absolutely fascinating in so many ways. One cannot help but be entertained by the two sets of opposing engineers fighting each other for technological dominance
I love it
I’m very happy!
