Really rooting for piefed honestly.

Problem is that's it's not just a question of political leaning, it's also one of software architecture. Lemmy is written in Rust, Piefed in Python.

I have doubts about the scalability of Python software to user numbers like Lemmy World has.

Sony XPeria still has jacks

A good quality DAC connected to your USB port will give you far better sound than having a headphone jack.

Nobody's advocating for taking the USB-C port away.

Almost always I find torrenting the most convenient method to download anything. When someone puts some file up for download and that person uses one of those stupid free file hosters, I usually get annoyed by "disable ad blocker", slow dl speeds, etc.

A torrent makes things so much more convenient.

there is also Heroic, which is similiar to lutris but in my opinion a bit nicer to configure :)

Heroic defaults to an ancient version of Wine-GE. They are currently in the process to migrate to a new tech called umu-launcher which allows them to use Valve's Proton and Proton-GE directly. It's basically done, so should appear in Heroic 2.16 but if one tries Heroic today, the compatibility might be worse than Lutris or Bottles.

Then my memory must be wrong.

Maybe my memory is wrong or it was different in an older SteamOS version. I remember Valve changed something about mounting SD cards a couple of months ago.

I don't think Steam lets you pick the location for Proton's virtual environments which is where Steam installs non-Steam games. AFAIK they are always in the home directory and you can only pick a random location when it's a portable game without setup.exe.

then chang the path of the exe and the working folder to those of the installed game

I feel the need to underline this part because removing the setup.exe entry and the adding the installed exe doesn't work. The entire virtual drive gets deleted when removing setup.exe. This makes the procedure a bit more complicated than it should be but it's needed when it has to go through Steam because of Steam Deck Game Mode.

Games? Nigh impossible.

Decades ago DOS games had custom intro animations but that's not really relevant for current games.
