  • I understand but I literally just left Nogales to visit my stepfather and during my week there there were so many campaign ads. The only thing he told me about them is that candidates from all positions from Mayor to Governor and up wind up dead all the time.

    Apparently it’s really common and my father had a similar reaction to the top comment. Yes it’s scary but it’s something that the government needs to take precautions for


  • Pretty sure this is way too late of an answer, but in the spirit of participating in a fledgling community:

    It actually feels really nice and unless you were really, really familiar with how everything was spaced, you could forget you were on Nobara.

    The only exception I have noticed (but may not be unique to Nobara) is that for some reason I cannot use my ethernet connection for internet, my network only works with WiFi. It was working on SteamOS. I decided to wipe my deck and put Nobara, and I am having that issue. It’s actually why I went onto this community, because I haven’t been able to figure out how to fix it.


  • I’m a cs student rn and there’s a lot of stuff that I’m learning specifically with UNIX and Linux related things. I use my steamdeck as a daily driver (literally sit in the front of class, pull out my steamdeck with my jsaux case and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo)

    There’s some issues with the walled garden. The way they do system updates is basically by having system stuff on its own partition and overwriting it. It functions well for a “casual” person that doesn’t care about linux that much.

    The issue is that I have to install things sometimes. Even things as simple as an OpenVPN package so I can use my nordvpn. Updates sometimes will wipe things I install in package manager. Other things (like Xelatex) are simply too big to fit in this partition so I have to install lighter packages even if I want to use the whole thing (Math formulas need a LOT of symbols).

    This has actually led me to see if it’s worth it to install a third party OS. Bazzite was a good contender but I like Arch with the KDE desktop so ultimately I would just want a steamOS that I could install more things on.

    Currently I’m looking into how I can achieve this. I don’t know if I should just enlarge the partition holding the system files, or if there is some pacman settings that I could have packages installed elsewhere and automatically symbolically linked in /user or wherever it needs


  • I use it as daily driver. I have a JSAUX dock with ssd for home, I unplug and bring it with me to university and use it with a bluetooth folding keyboard and house I got for <50$.

    It does everything I need. I’m a CS Major and “Boxes” works well for any sandbox environment I need.

    If you’re super technical, some thing in SteamOS can limit you, like how system files are on their own partition that gets wiped every update. But it’s perfectly doable


  • Female outfits are typically more interesting, like in GTA maybe it’s not as bad but I’m tired of every endgame male armor in rpgs of MMOs being a guy in a giant mountain of metal. It doesn’t look “badass” it looks stupid and bland. (On the flip side bikini armor is also stupid)

    That and female voices are just more… appealing? Idk the science behind it but there’s a reason AI assistants are like 95% female voices.


  • One Way Heroics (Plus)

    Made by a guy in Japan. Uses a custom engine and has really intricate rpg elements, super cool and I’m a huge fan. Basically you’re constantly moving right because a black fog is consuming the world and if you aren’t fast enough then it’ll consume you too. Kind of plays like a Roguelike, but runs can have the shorter objectives, or the really long ones.

    Granted it’s not perfect:

    • It was made by one guy so after a certain amount of time you kinda see most things, needs mods (which doesn’t exist) or more content.
    • You only get one stat per level-up, and if you get like “carryweight” five times in a row, then you kinda just got low-rolled and are weak-af
    • You can’t actually determine what biomes you end up in so sometimes you just get volcano 3 times in a row and it kinda sucks, it would be nice to see biomes up ahead and chart a course
    • There’s some “degen weeb” dialogue that’s funny about once and then kinda weird. (Characters simp hard af for you after your run if you get SSS rank in a category they rate you in, theres some “prefixes” that give alternate dialogue to npcs, so if you get a “Naughty” Dosey/Frida/Mila then all her dialogue is degenerate af for the rest of the run)

    But I still love the game, and one of my first projects I plan on is making a hexagonal-grid version of the engine that would enable the above (gameplay) issues to be fixed, something might come out of it tbh.
