I literally hate sleeping. There’s too much to do to spend 6-8 hours letting my brain cleanse itself!

I highly recommend dbrands KillSwitch case! It is expensive, but once you put that thing on the Deck, it literally feels so much better (and safer!) in my hands! The grip is the best I’ve ever seen!

With Emudeck, you also have like at least 5 handhelds in one. I’ll take the variety over portability in this scenario. :p

We really out here censoring guns in memes now, huh?

Right now, it’s more like:

“Here are my qualities, what I believe in (with a whole website page dedicated to my policies), my experience as a prosecutor, and why the other side is just plain not fit for office.”

Here is the website mentioned above.

I have three dogs. The silence in my house when they are getting their hair done is beyond what I can describe in words.

Spiderman on top of the TV changes position too. :)

It never gets old! I have to boot into Windows partitions for some few things, so coming back to these retro boot animations reminds me that SteamOS is home. :P

Here you go!

Decky Loader

Animation Changer (I recommend just following the install guide for Decky Loader, opening the plugins shop from the side menu, and then finding the Animation Changer plugin. I just included this link so you would know what to look for, and to see some of the dope ass animations people have been kind enough to share.)

Happy hunting! If you don’t know, you can also install CSS themes, change the background noise and UI audio elements too! I’ve got mine with a Fallout (Blue) theme, sounds from the Pipboy for navigating the menus, and most of the retro console boot animations. :)

EDIT: I found my favorite PS1 animation helping out below! HERE it is!

I have all of the retro consoles boot animations that people were cool enough to switch up into a Steam Deck boot animations I also have the plugin for deck tools that allows you to get a random one after each reboot. Needless to say, I never get tired of hearing the old OG Gameboy, PS1/2, GameCube, etc. boot animations and sounds. Core memories indeed!

Ah! I understand now. I never bought anything from them. I was just happy to see a “healthy” manly community. Are they still that way at least? It’s unfortunate they markup simple tools though. :/

Hi! I’m wondering what’s wrong with AoM? I always liked that they had really nice vintage (fucking love vintage stuff lol) looking skill booklets that I could use or learn from. I haven’t been there in a loooonnnng time though, so I’m curious if I’ve missed something?

Browsing the mechanical keyboard sub, the buy it for life sub, and any other subs like that was amazing and such a deep rabbit hole for the first time!

I have had some problem with some Distros not appreciating Windows being installed first, and some distros require more hoops to be jumped through to get it working than others, but dual booting is worth it in my use case and therefore is a requirement to even have Linux on the laptop to begin with. I love it to bits, but I bought the laptop to game!

I’d go as far as to say it’s… MINTy fresh!

I dual boot Pop with KDE and Windows 11 on my laptop while trying to use the Pop side more. I need the Windows side for playing games when traveling so I can’t fully integrate into Linux just yet. No problem at all, and I hope you’ll be able to sudo apt yourself into the perfect distro just for you!

There are a few Linux distros I can recommend as someone who started doing this as a little tinker project when I was younger.

Pop_OS! Is a really great basic setup to help usher you into Linux. I installed the KDE desktop environment onto my install because I really like and enjoy the KDE experience. You have plenty of other Ubuntu “flavors” to choose from. I’d recommend giving them all a whirl or look and decide which one you think is the best fit for you.

ElementaryOS is great if you want a semi-MacOS experience but I feel it is perfect for someone who doesn’t want to tinker around too much or for family members to use on their 10 year old laptops/desktops.

I also recommend not fully setting your Linux side up (email, saving documents, etc.) until you get done with your testing different distros out. You’ll be thankful you didn’t go through the full setup process if you decide to try a new distro out. Have fun, and remember it’s all a learning experience. Don’t be afraid to ask for question or look anything up. If you finally find a distro you want to make permanent and remember me, I’d love to hear what you settled on. Have a wonderful rest of your day. And enjoy your newfound freedom! 😌
