Where do you think our cops are going to come from when China invades Taiwan? This was necessary.

76% of AZ water use is for agriculture, but that’s besides the point. I’ve read that most of the water used in a fab gets recycled, so once up and running, water usage isn’t as much if an issue as you’d think.

Tried it. It’s been at least a year and a half, but if memory serves, I think I always had to login for startup. I wanted to be able to just turn on and have steam roll into it’s startup screen like a console.

Tried 4 or 5 distros and each had an issue that kept me from that console like experience. Ironically, I was able to do that with w11.

I’ll take a look. I tried 4 or 5 distros like Nobara. Had to pull from old repositories. Learned a lot but after a few weeks, I just wanted to play games and I found a way for w11 to work the way I wanted.

I did that, except I couldn’t get Lutris or Heroic to work. Also tried several distros and delving into repositories… several weeks and I just couped get it to work. Ironically, W11 does exactly what I wanted, even with uac.

18 months ago I tried to roll my own SteamBox. Games launched from Steam worked great. Everything launched from other launchers was mixed, but wouldn’t launch from Steam…generally speaking. I switched back to Windows and removed the login because I wanted a console-like experience.

I wish Valve would launch an updated SteamOS.

It didn’t work before, maybe I’ll try it again when I have the time.

Right. Snob all you want, but I thoroughly enjoyed Div1 and 2. AC Origins was also a lot of fun, especially for someone that grew up fascinated by ancient Egypt.

Civ6 is on EGS… Battlefield 1and5 on EA, plus the Mass Effect series…

But hey… Those games are awful, right… The chi chamber is loud today.

Like I wrote, Steam games were generally good, other storefronts, not so much.

I want able to get it to work unfortunately. This was a few years ago though.

I tried building a Steam box with the bootleg version of SteamOS from the deck… Can’t remember the name of the distro. Steam Games ran great for the most part, but getting Epic, EA and Ubisoft to work was a nightmare. If Linux can get that sorted, I’d never use Windows again.
