That is a bit more expensive and complex. Looks like this is configured with a couple of resistors for 5v from USB which is simple to get and a voltage reg to drop down to 3v3 optionally. Full PD requires a chip and active negotiation for higher voltage levels. Though there are chips that do that it does increase the complexity and cost and soldering skills a bit. Might not be worth it if all you work on is 5v or 3v3.
Protip: Don’t write 600 lines of code without ever testing it at all. And by testing I mean anything, manual testing included or even just compiling it or running a linter over it. Do things incrementally and verify things at each step to make sure you are not drifting off course by some faulty assumption you made near the start.
That is not the issue at all. This lawsuit has nothing to do with user of honey, only on behalf of creators and affiliate marketers. Langley in part because users of honey signed a class action waver and makes it a sticky issue to also include them in the lawsuit.
One of the lawyers taking part in it explicitly points this out: https://youtu.be/ItiXffyTgQg?t=182
First thing I typically do when that happens is update my system and reboot. This is useful for ensuring everything is in a known consistent state and there is no weird runtime issues that happened since you last booted. And it is always good to upgrade before you reboot to ensure you are booting the latest kernel and drivers.
If that does not help then I would start by closing down steam completely (ensure it is not running in the systray at all). Then launch steam though a terminal and start the game as you normally would. You will hopefully see some logs for the game in the terminal. Though it is very game dependent as to if that will be useful at all. If not I would look online to see if the game logs anything to any other file as some games tend to do their own logging or have a flag you can enable.
If the game gives you some logs and hopefully an error message you can then see if it is useful to you and if not try googling for that error and the game name. I find this tends to dig up more specific help for games then general searches for terms like wont start or crashes though sometimes those general terms can find a solution as well.
Note: if you try to launch steam in the terminal and it is already running you wont get any logs at all from it - it basically just forwards things to the main instance or quits as it does not need to do anything. Only the first instance you start will give you and useful logs.
On quite a few terminals, alacritty is one, you can hold SHIFT while dragging to select things on the screen to copy from. This suppresses sending mouse events so works when you have editors, tmux or other things that can interpret mouse clicks. It does mean that it is just copying chars from the terminal so ends up copying everything on the screen. Unlike the copying baked into things like tmux of editors.
I don’t understand the RT/LT for mouse buttons. Such a long movement to get to a click just feels unnatural to me. When the track pad has a press to click why not use that instead? At least for the primary button.
Neither of the companies want to support Linux. Simple as that. Or else their launchers would work on Linux without needing third party ones. They don’t see Linux user base as big enough to be worth the effort.
I do use scripts for more complex things. But even then I have a few very frequent one liners in my history that are 3-4 commands chained together that I have not bothered to convert. It tends to only be when they start to have logic in them that I will write a script for. Or more one off commands that are easier to edit in a multi line editor then trying to get everything right in the shells prompt.
I used to know a guy that would put everything into aliases or scripts in order to avoid remembering them. It worked well most of the time but when something went wrong or was not covered by his scripts he would struggle a lot. He avoided learning the underlying commands and what they did and so could not adapt to things when circumstances changed even a little - which does happen quite a lot.
Which is probably another reason I don’t use them. I don’t like to set them up straight away while I am learning the tool and once I am comfortable with it a reverse history search is good just as good/quick as a true alias anyway and means I never forget what I am doing and can edit it on the fly easily when needed.
TBH, not quite the same. You have to know which one you want. If you don’t quite or get it wrong you need to clear the line and start again. I quite like that I can reverse search and keep typing, or undo what I had typed and still see a list of the most recent things and can select from that list once I see what I want. This works for any command I have previously typed and dont need to setup specific key sequences for it - just any part of that command will find it again. Also works for complex chains of commands or pipes which I do not think aliases do work for.
And how did you, advanced Linux user, get to the stage your at now?
Incrementally over time by reading the documentation and/or manuals of the commands I need to run and looking up how others solve the problems that I need to get other ideas about things (even, periodically, for things that I already know how to do to see if anyone has found a better way to do it or if a new tool has come out that helps). And trying things out/experimenting with different ways of doing things to find out what works well or not.
I seem to be one of very few people that does not use shell aliases. I much prefer just using the reverse history search for previous commands instead. That way I don’t have to remember what letter I picked for different things, just ctrl+r then partially type out the command and I can see what it will execute. Bonus that I don’t need to set them up before hand and that I can edit them before executing them for those times when I need to do something slightly different.
Huh? You seem to be arguing both ways? If the system drive is full you have problems well before you risk losing data and if the home drive is full you have problems saving data? Both of these things can happen in a split partition or single partition setup. The split partition just means you have to get the space correct or end up with long resizing options for juggling the size around. And with a single partition it gives you more places to free up space when you do run out.
Need to save a file but the disk is full? Clean out the package manager cache. You cannot do that if the partitions are separate. An update does not have enough space? Delete a steam game or clear out your downloads folder.
Ext also has a reserved space option which when there is less free space than that option it refuses writes to anything but the root user - which is meant to solve the issue of a user trying to use up to much space, there is always a reserved bit that the system can do what it needs to. Though I have never seen this configured correctly for a running system and root can blast past the default 5% on smaller drives with a simple update. Or some other process is running as root is already consuming that space.
Other partition types like btrfs have proper quotas that can be set per directory or user to prevent this type of issue as well and gives you a lot more control over the allocated space without needing to reboot into a live USB to resize the partitions.
People seem to think a split partition helps but I have generally found it just causes more problems then it solves and there are now better tools that actually solve these problems in more elegant ways.
You don’t actually require a separate partition - you just need to not reformat the current one when reinstalling. Most distros I have seen will delete system folders if you don’t format but will always leave the home folder intact. Manually deleting the system folders is also an option if the installer does not.
TBH I am not sure a separate partition actually buys you anything but false confidence (which we do sometimes need ;) ). During the partitioning phase you can easily delete or format the wrong one (hell, if you only have one then it is less error prone to skip it all together). And after that step the drives are mounted and there is nothing protecting your files from the installer deleting them. It is just installers don’t touch the home folder or anything other then the system ones if it is on one partition or 50 different ones - it just sees the files in the directory it wants to install to. The only way a separate partition would add protection is if it were mounted after the install - which I do not know of any installer that actually does that.
As with anything. ALWAYS backup the data you care about before installing a new OS. The separate partition does NOT protect your data from deletion in any way. Leaving your home folder is simply a convenience option so you don’t need to restore all your files after the installation - not a replacement for a backup.
helps with issues like running out of diskspace
Or causes that problem if you don’t manage to predict your usage patterns correctly. I have seen many people run out of space on one or the other but have plenty overall and would not have had a problem with a single partition.
Sounds like a stuck button. Personally I would disassembly the device and have a look at the button and surrounding parts for any damage or liquid or debris at all. If there is any physical damage then an RMA or maybe replacement parts can be ordered (like you can buy replacement rubber if that feels worn at all). Otherwise I would ensure everything is clean and free of and liquids, stickiness or debris then reassemble the device. Even if nothing looked wrong I would test it again and see if the act of disassembly did something to solve the issue which it sometimes does for things.
IFixit has guides for the LCD and OLED versions and overall the steam deck is not very hard to disassemble compared to other small electronics. Though if you are unsure about this you may just want to talk to valve support first. If you accidentally damage something that could affect your ability to get an RMA.

It has to compete with:
Linux From Scratch (aka LFS) is a set of documentation and resources that describe one way in which to build everything on a Linux system yourself. It is not the only way though. Embedded systems is one place you might build every image from scratch but if you go down that route you are typically using something like yocto or buildroot which are designed to compile simple embedded distros for specific projects using an existing system for the build process. These are useful as embedded systems are often resource constraint and you don’t want to include things that are not required and often on different architectures from the host systems (such as ARM CPUs).
These days there is very little commercial purpose to creating your own distro from scratch that are not for embedded systems. It is a lot of work and generally not worth the effort unless building a distro is the point of your business - but even then you better have a good reason that using an existing one as a base is not a good idea. Packaging everything for a general purpose distro is a lot of work with very little benefit for a company to do. It is vastly easier to use what others have done as the base until you can justify the expense of managing everything your self (if it ever makes sense to do that).
So the only real place that you would go down building a distro from scratch is if you have a new or different idea about package management. Arch Linux did this with pacman, Gentoo with emerge, Alpine with apk, and Nixos with nix. These types of things typically start out as hobbyist projects and grow from there rather than with a commercial intent in mind.
The only other thing that makes sense is from a very high threat model for security reasons - thinking nation state level actors not your every day home user. You may want to build everything from scratch if you want to absolutely trust everything on your system and have the time and resources to do this.
You mean the bribes?
