Yeah, I have been using it like that for a while. It is just a single environment variable.

I have been using Bitwarden on my various Android phones (including Samsung) for years and had none of the issues you described. The problem could be your device.

I really loved Nier games. Hope he makes something similarly weird someday.

I got a very recent Thinkpad and it apparently has official support for Ubuntu and Fedora. I went with Fedora KDE.

1. Linux is intentionally made to be modular and using the terminal is pretty much the only standard way to do things across many distributions.

I highly suggest you stop avoiding it because it will most likely be faster and easier to do something (i.e. system-level changes) with it than not.

2. If you want a hard-to-fuck-up distro, I think Atomic (at least that’s what Fedora calls them) distros are the best.

Similar to smartphones or MacOS, entire OS is a singular image that is also updated all at once. Core parts of the filesystem is also read-only, meaning it is pretty much impossible to mess things up if you don’t mean to do so deliberately.

The best in this regard are from uBlue project: Bazzite (most popular), Bluefin, Aurora, etc. While Bazzite is intended for gaming (things like Steam are pre-installed), the other are for general use. Bluefin uses GNOME desktop, while Aurora has KDE Plasma desktop environment. Look up their visuals and choose whichever one you like. I prefer Aurora because KDE Plasma is often much more familiar to Windows users.

3. uBlue distros don’t require a password for system updates (they happen automatically in the background) and so do installing/updating programs.

First, you should learn about Wine prefixes. Arch Wiki has a good write-up about it.

After the game is installed, you need to edit that setup.exe you added as a non-Steam game and point it to the game’s actual executable.

Steam’s Wine prefixes are usually located in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata. This directory should have some text config files that you can read to find out what ID Steam has assigned to it.

Also, you might have more luck with Bottles (available through flatpak) which is more suited for such tasks.

Love me some flatpak updates. I hope it will be as good as Android’s sandboxing in the near future.

I love systemd!

Devil May Cry 3 (2005)

About six months ago decided to start Devil May Cry V on my Steam Deck after keeping it in my backlog for a year. After watching the intro cutscene, I decided that I definitely have to play all the previous games before it.

I have been playing the first trilogy (HD collection) a few hours every week or two (full-time jobs suck) since then. I think I am mid-day through the third game - just beat the nude lady.

A Linux distribution is just the Linux kernel distributed with various other pieces of software that make it usable. Often times, there are multiple software projects that aim achieve the same goal by going in different paths. These are packaged together by the distro maintainers who mostly do this out of passion.

Different distros prioritize different aspects of the software they package and they do this in different ways. To make the best choice for you, it is best to try and understand what each distro aims to do. Here are a few examples out my head:

• Debian is a traditional distribution that aims to keep the system stable for a few years. They do backport security patches, but slow rollout of feature updates is a deal-breaker for some people (like me).
• CachyOS (based on Arch Linux) compiles it’s packages utilizing newest CPU instructions which may lead to slight performance gain on newer hardware. They also ship some kernel patches optimizing it for gaming use cases.
• Bazzite is based on an atomic/immutable version of Fedora. The aim here is to provide a system that makes it very hard for users to mess it up, using containerization technologies. It also means that installing packages in the traditional way is not very feasible or recommended. You are supposed to install packages without root access and using technologies like flatpak. It also includes some gaming specific kernel patches similar to CachyOS, but not as many.

It looks like you opted for home directory encryption when installing the OS and somehow it got unmounted. It is also likely that by trying to delete encrypted chunks you have corrupted your home directory, which might explain login not working.

It seems like the change affects not just Google Chrome, but the Chromium in general. I assume this will also propogate to all apps using Electron, right?

Fedora is not Red Hat. While they fund Fedora development, they don’t dictate how to it is ran.

Fedora KDE pretty much offers the best KDE Plasma experience, maybe right after OpenSuse.

If you are still using Fedora, I recommend sticking with it. It doesn’t get much better than that.

What you are referring to are the window decorations.

Apart from Linux Mint, Firefox almost always uses client-side decorations. What you are showing here is still client-side.

It is just that Mozilla recently enabled vertical tabs option for everyone, so the top bar is now slightly smaller than before. You can disable vertical tabs easily by searching in the settings.

Love how Remedy’s game styles is right up my alley. I really hope somewhat niche nature of these games does not deter their success.

Are you using Gnome? (Workstation)

Also, though unrelated to your issue, DXVK_FRAME_RATE only works with DXVK (DirectX 11). RDR2 will use VKD3D (DirectX 12) or Vulkan natively.
