  • Which os for this steambox?

  • Manjaro not booting
    1 project | /r/ManjaroLinux | 25 Jan 2023
    I reinstalled Manjaro and everything is working, I can give info still though from when it was broken. Grub CommandLine worked. ASUS splash is normal. Chroot worked. I believe the Chimera app at https://github.com/chimeraos/chimera/ caused it, since it uses multiple patches of software that I didn’t have at the time, or it was because I uninstalled libpamac for libpamac-full, there was something else arch related that could’ve also caused it, but it wasn’t something that was needed at boot (and wasn’t critical, just preinstalled), but I swapped it with something else, because the other package conflicted with it, it was uninstalled, still no idea how it happened, but there are more than zero things that could’ve caused it. Also how do I make new lines in Reddit? Everything constantly looks weird when I make a comment and it’s annoying. Windows after using Linux is jarring, I agree, especially since I’m now using Manjaro as my main OS, Windows is still there, but only if something goes wrong, but I still have my installation USB (it uses Ventoy so I just store the ISO on it), so I’m all good. I honestly recommend Manjaro as a daily driver, Windows had so many features (that seemed) like an attempt to stop me from (in my personal perspective) make my system better in the sense of installing Linux, there are some kinks, including sh*tty companies needing Windows for simple necessities like drivers, I still love Linux and as I use it, I realise how much better it is, including being on the more nerdy and advanced side of things, relying on a command line feels amazing and I have way more freedom than if I still used Windows.

  • I made a tool to automatically add Epic Store games to Steam, should I open-source it?
    3 projects | /r/Steam | 15 Aug 2021
    Hey. The Idea is great! Maybe you can also think about offering the feature "Adding installed Epic-Game entry to Steam Library" in some of these Projects? https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher which is based on https://github.com/derrod/legendary or https://github.com/ChimeraOS/chimera which is especially made for purposes you have in mind (not leaving the steam ui) Maybe this inspires you and you gonna find things your script is able to do which those projects aren't. I bet you could contribute to any of these projects, which clearly will enhance the steam deck experience
