Oh yeah I’d love such a thing!

You could log to one service and use it to give to every open source project, no matter if they use Patreon or another platform.

Still it would be sensitive to handle as there would be credit cards informations…

What I’ve created is a Firefox bookmark folder with the « donate » page of every project I wanna support.

I use Joplin through some WebDAV with my cloud provider, kDrive.

Works perfectly once set up.

I don’t know if you could make it work directly from your phone to your computer though.

Sounds crazy to me that people aren’t shutting down their computers when not using them. For me it’s like turning off the light off in a room you’re leaving. I can still hear the voice of my mum giving me a lecture about not wasting energy and I’m thankful for this.

It’s such a small gesture and it can already improve your carbon footprint a tiny bit.

The only exception is when I’m downloading a game or backing up my computer.

Yes but most of the Steam Deck owners are probably not into games with really high requirements.

And, for those who are, it’s great to be able to play demanding games with cheap (for now) hardware.

Probably, but I guess we should boycott these and choose a model with our wallets.

The only good side is that devs will have to optimize and do more with less or focus less on graphics.

Well from what I saw in Gardiner’s review of the video, Linus was encouraging people to use Linux.

Heroic is fine enough for me except that I would want it to have background downloads on Steam Deck and better achievements integration.

If we get this, I don’t need anything official from GOG even if more official Linux support is always welcome😇

For the free programs I use, I have a total of around 100$ to give every year. The more programs or projects I want to support, the less there is for each. Otherwise, I’d just become poorer and poorer.

For paid pograms and services, I’m also trying to not go for the cheapest but the ethically better ones.

I also have a 2 patreons to support creators who speak about FOSS.

I think you don’t have to give much, but you should always try to give something every year.

I wish I also had screenshots of my desktops from back in the days. It would reflect my own evolution.

I’m happy to see that your experience was troublefree, but I wouldn’t want people to think that Linux is always smooth sailing as it clearly isn’t always the case.

To be honest, even if I love my Steam Deck and my other computers, nothing beats a Playstation when it comes to easy gaming.

It runs great on Steam Deck and, according to what I read, you just have a manipulation to do if you want to play offline. Although it wasn’t annoying enough for me to do it as I could just played using my phonés hotspot when not at home.

You should definitely play it if you get it for cheap.

Proton DB is great for such questions.

I checked and both Heroic and Firefox are using MB/s so at least the indicated speeds are different. Leaving the Deck on would be really annoying as it would mean not playing any other game at the same time, but I’ll try downloading on another computer I can just leave turned on. I’ll see how much time I need to download just one game. Apparently Wolfenstein would take under 5.5 hour according to Heroic…

I just think it’s annoying that if you turn off your computer the download resumes from 0% on Heroic…

I think it’s MB/s and I ain’t sure about Firefox.

The thing is that downloading the offline installers allows me to not do it all at once as through Heroic I’d need so many hours and turning the Deck off makes me start from 0 again.

But I’d love to just download through Heroic😇

Yeah I also found this on github and then tried to play with the workers (don’t what that is).

They were set to max and then I changed the numbers without seeing anything special…

Although I didn’t reboot between changes as Heroic never instructed me too…

And that’s why we really need some phones where the average user can use Linux.

Yeah but so many people wouldn’t.

I haven’t changed anything on my Steam Deck, so no😅

Edit: I might also be mistaking the vulkan shader step with some other validation step

Since you seem to know way more than me about these things, could you tell me why I feel like I’ve never experienced these on a console (Playstation) and I experience it quite often on PC (Steam Deck)?

But did you ask creators if you could mirror their channels? Because if you didn’t, you’re just robbing them of some of their revenue.

I understand the need to have more content on Youtube, but I don’t think we should steal it.

I easily found almost enough Linux channels, but I can’t find basketball or videogames reviews channels.

I think we’ll get more content if one day you get the ability to show creators we’re supporting them through Patreon or something else.
