If I recall correctly the script that goes to desktop mode explicitly starts plasma. Though I think they want to change that behaviour in SteamOS 3.8 or 3.9 to be more generic.
The trouble is that on every update all the changes you did to system files would be removed.
So you’d have to install Niri to your home directory and change the scripts that launch it with every update. Nothing impossible just a little bit annoying.
I haven’t tried that exactly, but I put OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on mine. I think installing a mainline distribution is the first step you have to overcome to run a different desktop environment on the Deck.
The biggest hurdle will be that you will need custom drivers or maybe even a custom kernel. Because not all necessary drivers have been upstreamed yet. This is especially necessary on the OLED version, as far as I know.
If you go that route https://gitlab.com/evlaV will be your best friend to find everything you need. And Bazzite probably as well. Maybe you can even run Niri/Noctalia on Bazzite. That would probably be the easiest. Or maybe CachyOS has a Steam Deck build.
The classic Lucas Arts adventures. Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, Grim Fandango.
I’ve been gaming since C64 days. We had the problem of too many games already back then. Hundreds of pirated games on disks and most of them weren’t even good.
The other day I felt the urge to play a new game from the “dead” point & click adventure genre. Filtered my Steam games and even found a relatively recent one with full Steam Deck support that was given away for free.
And I think I can do that with basically any genre.
Great indy titles get released all the time. Emulation gives me the ability to play almost everything from the entire history of gaming. Or just play one of my favourites. I just have to reach out and play. 2023 was an amazing year for gaming. 2025 wasn’t bad either.
Sure, bad games get made as well. But when I feel down I can just stop playing those and play Diarrhea 4 instead.
Thanks, setting up the runner and actions works great! Permissions are a bit wonky but not unsolvable.
Revanced is the normal YouTube app on Android along with a ton of patches on top to add great features or get rid of annoying ones. You need the ReVanced Manager to patch the YouTube app.
uBlock Origin and Revanced go brrrrr
That’s what the scaled sort is supposed to solve. It pushes up posts that are popular relative to other posts in their communities. So even if they regularly get 0 upvotes they should still show up.
I use the scaled sort on subscribed together with hiding read posts and marking posts as read when I scroll by. That way I usually see the posts made in smaller communities fairly regularly.
Picked up The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav. So far it seems to be a nice little German point & click adventures.
Damn. Yeah, that’s bad. Have you tried it with other compositors like Gnome?
Curious if that happens in BSD as well.
I can’t even see what the bug is supposed to be from the video.
Honestly, that’s what most web API’s are. You are just pushing data around. The “hard” part is that everyone has their own opinions on how it should be formatted.
And of course the minor inconvenience of having to give the user a way to make data entry easy, convenient and consistent.
But deep down it’s all spreadsheets. The faster you can wrap your head around that the easier programming is for you.
Dabei weiß doch jeder, dass die Kuh ihr Gras braucht!
Wieder mal eine typische Nachricht von der TAGESschau.
Mein alter Chef hatte nebenbei einen Laden wo er Quads verkauft hat. Ich habe zugesehen, wie er jemandem ein Quad verkauft hat das noch nicht einmal anspring.
Is that the woman Road to Empress is based on? It’s a pretty funny Chinese drama.
