I'm playing two games at the moment:

Yet another run in Nier: Automata, second playthrough, first time on steam deck. It runs surprisingly well.

Stardew valley. For steam deck it's a killer game - 8-9 hours on a battery, perfect for resting.

I also have Snowrunner and Vampire Survivors as my go to games.

Just finished Dungeons of Dreadlock. I do not like puzzle games in most cases (not my genre), but enjoyed this one.

Quite a nice game to spend 5 hours with. Cost peanuts. Was perfect on steam deck.

I'm (was) not into such music, but these guys did it on another level. I still wonder where such level of sound work is coming from.

I love everything about this song - vibe, quality of source musical material, record and sound work, voice, texture of guitar, bass, drums, vocal and it's awesome usage of extensive tremolo effect.

It was a great song, but the way it's done in the recording in my opinion makes it awesome.

I still remember how I played Need for Speed and heard this one. This song has such an interesting "lone road night vibe" for me, still listen to it pretty often. I do recommend to listen to the band if this song is something you enjoyed. They are very good.

I did not expect P.O.D. to make two songs I would like this year - AFRAID TO DIE AND DROP.

Though I liked them both DROP is my favorite of two - it's more of their style from first albums. But on the other hand I do love AFRAID TO DIE and Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer is a really great singer. And clip is also quite enjoyable.

For anyone who did not think about it beforehand and struggled as me. You can run KDE Connect on your machine and send keyboard and mouse inputs using kde connect. Almost 0 input lag. So you can do all you need.

For me it was terminal and some work with files on dolphin (for emudeck). I'm not used to steam deck touch pads yet and using shortcuts on keyboard made everything a breeze.

You can transfer files, too,if course.

Some Indian metal for you. I love vibes/energy of this song, it reminds me of late 90s, early 2000s, where most of my music taste formed.

Still looking for other great tracks I would like from the band.

I guess it's pretty well known and seen by many, but it turned out I forgot about it completely and ranbomly found it on youtube couple of days ago. Decided to show to my wife - we have watched it twice and added to our playlists right away.

Not only clip is astonishing and interesting to watch (I would really like to go to an industrial robot concert in live if there were any), but also music is pretty straightforward electronics I love it.

I was very surprised when discovered that band as late as in 2021. Not only it sounds great, quality of recording and mastering in this one is awesome (I do recommend listening to it in better quality than youtube offers).

I was like - WTF, it sounds like sound lift of some heavy/glam metal bands from late 80s, and it turned out to be band from that time. ^^

Though I do like some albums from back then, sometimes I wish they sounded more polished, more complex when it comes to recording. It's a matter of taste of course.

I did, it looks nice, it's just that Bitwig feels more at home for me.

Looks like there is a markdown parsing issue on the client you are using. At least from what I can see.

[-] Oikio@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I'm coming from Ableton Live, which I've used for a very long time and got used to, Bitwig turned out to be similar (I think I've seen that company was created with people from Ableton), so it works for me. But it's better to try everything first of course.

For me Arch was a way to go, because as I used it before - ~10 years ago. And it's philosophy is appealing to me.

Which app are you on? I've used standard markdown list markup, like:

  • One
  • Two
  • Three

Thanks for the updates, there was a typo when it comes to Linux10 ^^, I'm quite good at making them

Two votes for EndeavourOS, updated post.

[-] Oikio@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I hope people will take my post with a grain of salt and do their own research anyway.

When you set it up - it just works. For me installation took 4-6 of hours (I had to read all the topics), until I had bare bones operating system with desktop env. Just follow wiki installation guide (precisely! I made couple of mistakes, because was not paying attention) and you will be fine.

Rare problems during update I had 10 years ago seems to be even rarer today, just check out feed https://archlinux.org/ before update, or after. You can always rollback any package with pacman using local cache. Lots of solutions are easy to find on the internet.

Finally migrated from Windows to Linux. For anyone wondering, what is the state of Linux as your primary OS for home PC\laptop in 2023.

I've finalised my Archlinux installation yesterday, I dropped of Linux more than 10 years ago and experience in 2023 in comparison is awesome and beyond even wildest dreams back then:

  • For average user looking for more out of the box experience I would suggest something Arch based (people in comments suggest EndeavourOS, please do your research). Archlinux installation took me quite some time
  • Almost everything works out of the box, by just installing corresponding package
  • KDE Plasma environment is fast and beautiful
  • Pipewire audio server (Jack\Pulseaudio replacement) works great
  • Wayland window server is not there yet, especially if you have Nvidia with proprietary drivers and want to use VR. Waking up, session restoration and other scenarios have issues. Use X11.
  • Wine is great!
  • Music making - Bitwig Studio DAW has linux native version, yabridge allow you to use windows VSTs, which are easily installed via wine
  • Gaming works out of the box with Steam for majority of titles, some games have native linux version. Performance is great. In worst case windows game might loose 5-15% in performance. Was not case for my titles
  • Gaming outside steam is fine too. Use Wine, Lutris, Proton
  • VR is a mixed bag. Not everything is there (Desktop view, sound control and mirroring, camera, motions smooth, lighthouses do not wake up os go to sleep. I use my phone to turn them on/off). But if its not the problem for you, quite some titles work. Tried: native HF Alyx, Lab, windows: Beat Saber and Boneworks. For me it's a surprise, I did not count on it. Performance is great.

So overall my experience is great. Eventually I'm going to get rid of WIndows on other computers and laptops at howe. I can finally wave goodbye to Windows, with lots of ads and bloatware. Alway glad to help with answers regarding installation while my memory and history logs are fresh. ^^
