I’m using HoloISO (it’s like 95% SteamOS) on a mini PC (all AMD, 680M iGPU because I wanted to get close to the deck specs). I mostly stream games from elsewhere in the house, but it has a few titles installed locally.
The sleep works perfectly so far for local titles. I assume other Arch based distros with all of the steam software installed (like ChimeraOS) work just as well. If the hardware maker who puts it on their box makes sure their hardware is well supported it shouldn’t be an issue.
I have the K10 Pro. The K series are great keyboards. Right now mine is mostly stock (red switches, and I changed out WASD even though I don’t really do computer gaming because it reminds me of my misspent youth) because every week I decide on a different switch and keycap combination. Last week I wanted black and purple with super loud clickity clacks. The week before I wanted something silent in light grey, dark grey, and red. Today I was thinking about getting vintage looking typewriter caps.
I think those keycaps look fantastic. Enjoy the new job and keyboard! Congrats on both!
I watched the man who decided to “just discipline” me lose his wife, his job, and his entire life. It wasn’t even his fault but as awful as it sounds it felt pretty fucking good watching his life crumble after the way he acted. The man paddled me every day for a year and laughed about it. Made fun of me in front of adults. My “disciplinary plan” was one lick with the paddle for each late assignment over the year. So if something was late by a day in October, I was getting hit for it in May. I was 13.
More than once I’ve thought of going to where he works now in one of my nicer suits to spit on him in front of his coworkers. He wasn’t the reason for my depression, anxiety, and all of the other things that were wrong with me. But he did contribute to my poor mental health.
They say the best revenge is living well. It’s working alright for me these days. And he’s no longer in a position to do that to anyone else so I won’t go spit on him today.
I posted elsewhere about my setup. I have a rig in one room and a mini PC set up as a “console” using HoloISO connected to a TV. I stream games to it.
If it’s your only rig I recommend what the other person said. Get a full PC or catch a gaming laptop on sale unless you have a very specific use case. You can play modern games on higher end ones but you’ll get more bang for your buck out of a PC. You can make your own Ship of Theseus and upgrade parts one at a time.
Zork. The original graphics were garbage.
ADHD combination type and used to battle depression with anhedonia every single day. I wasn’t sad, I was uninterested and couldn’t feel pleasure. I haven’t beaten it but I’m in control these days.
It’s an exhausting feedback loop. The less I did because I just couldn’t get myself together enough to do anything the worse I felt. The worse I felt, the less I was able to do.
I see you, friend.
