I’ve been exclusively gaming on my Steam Deck since launch and have a slightly different experience. For me, if the game is certified “Playable” or “Verified” on the Steam page, I just download and play it. I have never once tweaked any settings or tried a different version of Proton. I’m sure there are tweaks that can achieve better performance on certain games, but I have never personally felt the need to research that on any game.

For reference, below are my recently played games. All but Trials worked great for me. Trials is marked “Unplayable” on Steam, though I did get it to work for a few hours before it broke.

I have used FF based browsers for a long time and still do. I recently saw this from the GrapheneOS developers, which kinda freaks me out and has me considering switching to a Chromium based browser:

https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

Chromium-based browsers like Vanadium provide the strongest sandbox implementation, leagues ahead of the alternatives. It is much harder to escape from the sandbox and it provides much more than acting as a barrier to compromising the rest of the OS. Site isolation enforces security boundaries around each site using the sandbox by placing each site into an isolated sandbox… Browsers without site isolation are very vulnerable to attacks like Spectre…

Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they’re currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android. This is despite the fact that Chromium semantic sandbox layer on Android is implemented via the OS isolatedProcess feature, which is a very easy to use boolean property for app service processes to provide strong isolation with only the ability to communicate with the app running them via the standard service API. Even in the desktop version, Firefox’s sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux) and lacks full support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole. The sandbox has been gradually improving on the desktop but it isn’t happening for their Android browser yet.

EDIT: I really hope Ladybird turns out to be amazing.

I was considering a switch but due to recent policy changes at Google, I’m now concerned about long-term (or even short-term) support for GrapheneOS and other custom ROMs:

Potentially the same problem since Nobara is also Fedora based.

I went on the same path. I was surprised how many sites were broken in IronFox.

I have a launch LCD Steam Deck and yesterday was planning to upgrade to the OLED version. Unfortunately:

Steam Deck OLED 512GB and 1TB models are temporarily out-of-stock in the US and Canada as we adapt to recent supply chain constraints. We anticipate being back in stock by end of summer, and currently expect prices will remain the same. We’ll update here as soon as we have more clarity on what the timeline ultimately looks like.

I agree the Steam Deck is a better option for many people but the screen on Switch 2 is larger than Steam Deck.

I believe they said a Cosmic spin is also planned.

They make a pretty good keyboard too. It doesn’t have network permissions and is open source and privacy focused.

I think you are a bit off with your assumptions. In California, overtime is earned either when you work more than 40 hours per week, OR more than 8 hours a day.

So technically he could have for example worked three 24 hour shifts in a week, which would equal three 8 hour shifts (24 regular time hours) and three 16 hour overtime blocks (48h OT). 48 * 52 = 2,496 OT. He could have even been sleeping and on call while working that OT.

Definitely poor management but not guaranteed fraud. The math is more nuanced.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago with his song Birds With Broken Wings. He’s pretty great.

It runs great. I haven’t checked FPS but it runs smoothly and I’ve never noticed any stuttering. I’m also super impressed with the draw distance. The ground sometimes has some graininess to it but it doesn’t bother me.

Eternal Strands

Disco Elysium

All very different and unique. All fantastic!

Eternal Strands. I’m loving it! I almost quit playing a few times in the first couple of hours but once you get into the loop of it and learn some more skills and combat techniques, things get amazing.

It has that same sense of wonder and exploration that I got from BOTW, even though it’s broken up into zones instead of one open world. It also takes a lot of great parts from Dragon’s Dogma, Shadow of the Colossus, and Monster Hunter, while still very much being its own thing. Plus, the loot is not overwhelming and feels meaningful, and you can re-spec all gear without penalty.

It’s all really streamlined to maximize fun.

Thank you! I immediately wondered if OP was a shill since s/he also didn’t name the company in the title or summary.

I believe Librawolf defaults to “strict” fingerprinting blocking. Try setting it to moderate and see if that works with your bank

Thank you. I agree re ditching it and have been working on that.

I use (and love) Firefox containers, and I keep all Google domains in one container. However, I never know what to do about other websites that use Google sign in.

If I’m signing into XYZ website and it uses my Google account to sign in, should I put that website in the Google container? That’s what I’ve been doing, but I don’t know the right answer.

I vote the same, but I’d suggest a uBlue spin of the Fedora Atomic desktops. They have better defaults (all batteries included, as they say) and are easier to use overall IMHO. Bluefin and Bazzite are both great options, and both offer KDE and Gnome variants.

Edit: TIL the KDE version of Bluefin is called Aurora.

BTW, uBlue is getting some big recognition lately. They have been on the Fedora Podcast (official) and Framework Laptops has official instructions on their website for installing Bluefin and Bazzite.
