This is very cool

+1 for longboarding, it's such a nice feeling to just go and see the world passing by.

I'm waiting for summer to try stand up paddling this year.

I just thought it was the easiest way to show relevant system information :p

Yeah you can Google how to install wow on Steam deck and follow the guide, with a caveat that on the steps between installing battle.net and creating a launcher for it on Steam after it's installed, I suggest moving the contents of the proton bottle to a shared space so you keep you credentials. Let me get on my pc in a few minutes and I'll get you some instructions.

EDIT:

this is what I did:

• Download Battle.net installer from https://downloader.battle.net/download/getInstaller?os=win&installer=Battle.net-Setup.exe

• Add it to Steam from the Games > Add a non-steam game to my library...

• Right click on it from Steam library, Properties..., Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and select Proton Experimental. Close the window.

• Run the installer by double-clicking it in your library. Go through it as usual, make sure you uncheck to start it with Windows, and to mark Keep me logged in.

• Install WoW (don't need 100% installation, just start it), and click on the cog icon and Create a desktop shortcut (no shortcut will be created in your desktop)

• Open Battle.net settings and in App, On Game Launch, set to Exit Battle.net completely.

• You can also mark When clicking X, Exit Battle.net completely.

• When done, close it fully (from tray and etc).

• Navigate to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata and find the folder with the Battle.net installation (it's going to be the one with a longer name, and most recently modified).

• (Optional, see footnote) Move the contents of the pfx folder somewhere else like ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx and create a symlink from ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx:

ln -s ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx

• In your steam library, find the Battle.net installer, right click > Properties...

• Change the shortcut target to

"~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx/drive_c/users/Public/Desktop/World of Warcraft.lnk"

And Start in to:

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx/drive_c/users/Public/Desktop

You can also find an icon in

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/256x256/apps

• In WoW, make sure to disable vertical sync.

Footnote: The reason for moving the proton prefix folder away is that this way you can have a shared proton prefix for all your non-steam proton games with the advantage of keeping a shared login state and etc between the apps since the registry is stored inside the pfx folder, but have a separate shortcut for each in your steam library by always creating this symlink back to the shared folder, and the ability to tune proton settings to each different application separately as those settings they are kept in the parent folder.

That's a freaking interesting idea, about the scrobbler.

unsigned int cpus = min(num_online_cpus(), 8);

doesn't that mean it's actually at least 8, as in if you have 4 cores cpus will be assigned 8, if you have 20 cores cpus will be assigned 20.

Not sure if arch is too different, but Linux is Linux. I suggest you get any live distro you can such as Ubuntu or fedora on a live usb stick and boot into it, once in it run gparted (or first install it if not available) and simply resize your partitions around as in to allocate some space from your home partition to your root partition. Should be a fairly simple operation especially with an easy and intuitive GUI such as gparted.

Thank you for that, I also recently posted asking for help with this matter a couple days ago. I'm back to Linux after about 5 years break and initially I thought it was only Fedora, but then I changed to openSUSE Tumbleweed and then again to Ubuntu, and all of them presented the same issue, so it really was clear it was a bigger issue than a single distro. Nonetheless turning off 2FA is a workaround only and some accounts like work account won't allow turning it off at all, so definitely this is something the GNOME team should be prioritizing to fix soon.

Well fuck here we go again. I can't stand YouTube Music, and Spotify is not where I want to go for Podcasts.

Comeon Google stop pulling this kind of crap.

There's a file size upload limit on lemm.ee as far as I remember. I am not sure if it has been lifted, neither what's the size, but it was something about 20 kB or something very small.

Edit: oh I see now it has been completely disabled.

Right I'm following the Pixel Art community and I saw your 2nd link before. Nice 🙂 Anyway good luck with your project, or rather, have fun with your project 😉

Shutter, but the original Thai version.

For years after watching it I needed to make sure I was holding the bottom of my blanket with my legs all night long. Damn..
