Not a problem! It’s been great, I just had to make sure I was converting the books to kepub beforehand!

I followed this guide! https://jccpalmer.com/posts/setting-up-kobo-sync-with-calibre-web/

Yes! Its so good. I followed this guide. https://jccpalmer.com/posts/setting-up-kobo-sync-with-calibre-web/

Both my wife and I have our own devices and they sync really well.

It checks to see if there are duplicate files and only moves over the .epub if it exists. If there is no epub then it moves over the .mobi or the az3w file since those are the big ones. that usually get downloaded.

A MaM account, a bash script that qbittorrent runs after it finishes a torrent and calibre-web-automated. I know there is some download automatic cwa plugins I just haven’t bothered.

We use calibre-web-automated and have Kobo’s that we can sync with it. It’s fantastic.

I just got an ultimate 2 and it’s nice, but I prefer my DualShock 4 ergonomics. I will however get a steam controller over this because of the touch pads.

I played Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip and laughed multiple times in the first few minutes

One install is fine! you just need to add it as a non steam game for each different steam account! (assume save progression doesnt matter as much)

I’ve been too lazy to rebuild my windows work VM in something different and never really had any issues with VirtualBox. I know there are better solutions out there I just can’t be stuffed.

I have an 8 and a 7 year old who both have their own steam accounts as child accounts within my steam family. Both of them have access to a profile on the steam deck(though I have 2 decks so they can each use one at the same time) and they for the most part just work.

The steam user profile changes but the account the steam deck runs on doesn’t. So some things stick around. Controller pairings and the like just work. Steam profile specific configs need to be done multiple times for each user (steam input custom mapping, etc) but I try and mostly stick to deck verified games for my kids because they really do just work.

I had a dock for a while and it also just kinda worked. But I didn’t have to do much tweaking. The dock broke after a while though(jsaux not valve) and I never bothered to replace it since I ended up just installing moonlight in my tv and sunshine on my gaming PC(also Linux).

I don’t have any experience with heroic launcher, but I did set up prism and Minecraft on their profiles and it just worked with the right deck compatible mod bundle.

The biggest issue I have found is sea of thieves will default to whichever the last signed in account is on any profile, so I just signed into it on my daughter’s account and don’t play it on the deck myself.

Docking it made it a bit more complicated for us as well, mostly because the kids don’t know much about the tv inputs and honestly getting them set up would just take me a few seconds to turn it in, grab the charged controllers and get them to the home menu so I never really bothered to teach them it. But that’s a non issue unless I buy another dock at some point in the future. They both prefer to be in mobile mode on the couch anyways.

I play a game called townsfolk that’s pretty fun but it’s free for the basic stuff but a one time purchase unlocks a bunch of content.

I’m torn. Valve has been so good for Linux gaming. They made a handheld console that emphasizes real ownership and the right to repair. They generally make good decisions when it comes to things and while they do take a big cut of game sales, their platform has so many features it’s crazy.

This gambling thing though really sucks. I get that they need to monetize, but I feel like they could get away with just selling skins, or having the loot boxes being a free daily play reward that drops things that could be sellable on the marketplace. No way to buy a box like this. Just earned for free through play.

Wouldn’t it be cool if people used loops instead!

I’ve got a 6800xt and it runs really well on medium settings. Looks pretty good as well. Never had the game crash on me either. It’s 60fps but I’m cool with that. Gameplay feels smooth at that and it’s steady. No upscaling no frame Gen. 3440x1440.

I have heard a lot of people are having issues with Nvidia hardware though.

My mid range 4 year old PC must be hella premium. Because I’ve had no issues playing it.

Quite a bit of northgard with my wife. But I have really been wanting to goof off in Abiotic Factor with my friends. It’s been hard to get together. Curse getting older and having other priorities!

I thought borderlands 2 was great, but I spent more time playing 3. I’m excited to play 4 but there isn’t a chance in hell I’m buying it day one. I want to see what the general reaction to it is before I spend my coin on it.

And I’m cool with that! But my kidneys won’t let me enjoy red meat so let’s do lab grown tuna or chicken!

I would rather eat a meal that doesn’t pretend to be meat and just be it’s own tasty thing. I don’t need a steak, but I do want a delicious savory thing.
