The Steam Deck really moved *nix gaming along.

If only other people got onboard. Everyone else built a handheld, but they shipped with windows and just proved for the umpteenth that Windows is NOT a portable OS. Its almost like we should have learned that from Windows Mobile, or Windows Phone, Or Windows XP tablet mode, or Windows 8.

I have Mint on dual boot and a VM image, but mostly Win10.

I tried to a few years ago with Ubuntu but it was missing a lot of apps and games I liked or needed to use for various reasons. These days I unfortunately still use windows as a main, but I have Ubuntu in a dual partition with windows on my laptop

tried years ago with Ubuntu. There was a lot to like, but ultimately gaming just wasnt a thing.

Yeah. Iโ€™m hopeful that with all the work proton and steam are doing to get things compatible with Linux we might see that change soon

Yep! Current daily driver is Ubuntu but I have tinkered with fedora in the past. I am not a gamer but am a programmer and find I have everything I need for work/life easily available. I am comfortable on the command line which helps but if itโ€™s set up then anyone can use it I reckon. All my coding stack is open source. And libre Office is a pretty good replacement for MS office (without the shitful 365 cloud garbage)

I have also used Mac regularly and I canโ€™t think of much I can do on one and not the other.

Happy to answer any more specific question - feel free to PM me. Not that I know how that works on lemmy.

There are two laptops on my desk at home. One dual boots between MacOS and Windows (90% Windows) and the other is running Fedora 39. If I had to point at one of them as my โ€œmainโ€ computer, itโ€™d be the dual-booting one. I use both fairly heavily, though.

I have a long, slow cooking day planned today in preparation for a Mexican dinner tomorrow night. I am making carnitas, which is basically pork slow cooked in fat. It will be served in soft tacos, so I will be making an oven-roasted salsa today, then making tortillas and some other accompaniments tomorrow. I am also going to make desserts today - caramel flan, which is similar to a creme caramel, but made with condensed and evaporated milks. Iโ€™m taking it all to my sisterโ€™s house, so it should work well to be able to heat and serve with minimal fuss and mess there while still being a bit fancy.

oh god, mexican caramel flan is divine. If itโ€™s on the menu always get it. Tres leches cake is also nice. Carnitas are also good. ( mexican food is soooo good )

Tres leches cake was second on the short list. I have not actually had the flan or carnitas before, although I have had similar. Having grown up with โ€œOld El Pasoโ€ being the first and only option for โ€˜Mexican foodโ€™ I am working on slowly increasing my repertoire of from-scratch real Mexican/Latin American recipes.
