Would you swap out Bazzite to SteamOS on your HTPC?

Reply in thread

They are both good options. The general way I break it down is:

Is this your first Linux PC? Bazzite

Is this a home theater PC or other console like device? Bazzite

Do you have a lot of specialized hardware that needs custom drivers / kernel modules? CachyOS

Do you want to be able to more easily customize parts of the os? CachyOS

Obviously not every case is covered here but hopefully that gives you a bit more of an idea of what each distro is better at. Performance wise they are nearly identical, tbh the biggest difference is that Bazzite is an atomic distro and CachyOS isn't.

When the aether mod was new, modding was not very mainstream for Minecraft yet. So many many many people have the shared childhood experience of seeing videos of the aether mod and not even knowing it was a mod. We all thought it was a hidden feature and tried making the portal which of course never worked.

Will kernel-level anti-cheat ever work on linux?

Reply in thread

AFAIK the current anticheat systems on Linux only run in userspace not at kernel level. This does mean Linux is theoretically easier to bypass compared to windows, some games just dont seem to want to take that risk. For as you said 3% of the market.

I personally disagree with that stance though, because all it takes is a hardware device and all software anticheats are useless no matter the os (think a raspberry pi, and capture card). So anticheat is really a losing battle anyways.

"We want to manage expectations": Valve's Steam Controller reservations extend into 2027 as it tries "to get as many out" as possible amid restock hopes

I got my reservation in the first 2-5 minutes of them being available. My spot in line came up about a week ago, and it showed up yesterday. Enjoying it so far, I have big hands and it fits quite well. The "cheaper feel" every reviewer refered to is actually just that it is kinda light for a wireless controller (compared to my Xbox elite series 2 that it is replacing), which is a win for my wrists imo. The plastic feels the same as my steam deck oled. And for those asking yes it has the same "steamdeck smell" that is impossible to describe but rather pleasant. Hope they manage to get through the queue fast for those that want one!

Hey everyone

We’re really sorry to say this, but lemm.ee will be shutting down on June 30, 2025. What you need to know

As of now:

New user registrations are disabled
Creating new communities is disabled

What you should do:

You can export your settings at https://lemm.ee/settings to take them with you to another instance.
If you’re moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline.
Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline.
If you’re one of the folks supporting us with a recurring donation, please remember to cancel it (Ko-Fi donations should have been cancelled automatically already). Our leftover funds are already enough to cover our bills for next month, so we can keep things running without any more support.

Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline. Why this is happening

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

We know this sucks. We’re genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better.

– lemm.ee team
