How many of them are “manual”? I mean, ones you had to configure goes to scrape from whatever website they are hosted on, etc.

I only have eight apps, and even then only one “manual”. It’s the most important one though… 🦜

If you find yourself taking and sharing a lot of screenshots outside of Steam. Install the Shotty plugin for Decky Loader to have then organized and accessible without needing to dig into Proton prefixes.

And then, access your ~/Pictures/Screenshots folder over SFTP from your phone or some other PC for efficient shitposting!

P.S. I use Solid Explorer on Android for SFTP.

P P.S. Set up SSH as soon as you can. It’s saved me a lot of effort when I boot-looped my Deck by creating a bunch of circular symlinks 🙃

Comparatively, yes. But trying to install apps or programs on the Deck if they are not on Flathub is quite a common use-case, I find. And it’s a lot more stable and less frustrating than temporarily installing packages through Pacman!

Setup Nixpkgs. Learn Home-Manager. If anything doesn’t exist on Flathub, install it through Nixpkgs instead of disabling immutability and resorting to pacman only to have it wiped after an update. And for temporary tinkering, use nix-shell.

The determinate.systems Nix installer directly supports the Steam Deck.

I agree. All of that is very true. That’s why I am comparing it to Dwarf Fortress myself, which is similarly expensive.

Yet, the bias I feel between the two is one I cannot explain.

But I’m sure in a few days I’d consider it a Christmas gift to myself anyway and forget all about how expensive it felt at the moment :]

That does feel a tad bit expensive… Even though Dwarf Fortress is right there for comparison.

I use Penpot for every personal project that I can. The new(ish) grid layout is just beautiful. Figma can’t do that, can it!

Unfortunately, there’s a lot more Penpot can’t do that Figma can. And for any reasonably complex project, or commercial ones, I have to go back to it.

Hopefully Penpot catches up soon! My biggest showstopper right now is variable fonts. If it was possible to manually set CSS somehow, maybe that would help bridge the gap a lot!
