I'd like to see the people that are for kernel-level anticheat running in their PCs 24/7 now.

Vanguard doesn't even let you play the game unless the anticheat has been active since boot afaik.

Every cybersec and even anyone minimally tech-savvy was saying this was a bad idea and what do you know, now we have objective evidence it is in fact a terrible, terrible idea.

Kdenlive is acceptable for small video editing but I suppose you mean something up to the standard of Davinci Resolve or close

If you want better compatibility with Microsoft Office files, you could use WPS Office. It has given me better results overall than OnlyOffice and far better than LibreOffice.

Not dissing the other suites, I like LibreOffice for daily use but there's nothing I can do about M$ Office templates bugging out because they don't follow their own OOXML implementation properly.

Hi! To enable HDR in most games you will need to set your game in fullscreen. Windowed or Borderless won't allow you to use HDR functionality.

You'll also need to use the DXVK_HDR=1 %command% startup variable in steam to enable HDR in any Proton game. Proton 8 and 9 should support HDR without issuez although there are some games that might need additional configuration.

If you use an NVIDIA card, you might need to enable NVAPI with DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1

Happy gaming! :D

After years of using linux distros and settling on an arch based distro for my daily use, I switched jobs and they allowed me to have "linux" as my laptop OS.

They put Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on the laptop. Admittedly I hadn't used it for a few years, maybe 18.04 outside of server use cases maybe.

The experience is horrible. It throws errors about Ubuntu, about Visual Studio Code or any program every hour, without those programs having any trouble whatsoever to function.

It reminds me so much of Windows, and even though I prefer it over that system, I can't shake the feeling I'm serving the OS, rather than the other way around, just like in Windows.

And don't even get me started on Snaps over DEB packages. Had never tried them before and I can say with confidence the hatred is deserved. Code didn't even start up in the snap version and Firefox was so slow and laggy I was thinking the laptop was broken somehow.

I've consistenly made an Office 2016 bottle that works. I haven't been able to activate it though.

The guide is in Spanish but it's just importing the bottle and changing the language. Others have left ISOs available in other languages in the comments.

Hope it helps!

Try to use the flatpak version of Steam to see if its some library that has been updated what's causing TF2 to not launch.

It happened to me with CSGO and haven't found a fix for it yet so I have two versions of Steam now.

So after some trial and error I found out it's somehow the official Steam Dock. It breaks family sharing on shutdown, reboot and suspension.

The solution seems to be unplugging the Dock whenever any reboot, shutdown or suspension action is going to be done and replug it only when the Deck is active and signed in.

Really weird bug. I didn't even think the Dock could be an issue in this regard.

 

Hello everyone.

I bought a Steam Deck for my sister and set up her account and mine on the device. Family Sharing works fine until the Deck is rebooted, where only her games appear on her account.These are the steps we have followed:

  1. Sign in both accounts to the Deck
  2. Enable family sharing on both accounts, making sure our accounts and this specific Deck are authorized

I didn't sign out my account afterwards or anything like that. My games will appear on her library until the Deck is shut down or rebooted. The next boot my games won't appear on her list and those that are installed will show a Buy button instead of play.

We found a workaround which is to sign in with my account, disable and enable family sharing again, but this is not really a solution.

Has anything like this happened to anyone? Is there anything we are missing?

Thanks in advance!
