Because overheating it causes permanent damage. Just because you see people online doing it doesn’t mean it’s not without consequences if precautions aren’t taken or if you’re not familiar with what you’re doing. You’re heating up the glue - sure but you’re also heating the panel and that can cause it to not function properly anymore.

This is the way

Also heat on the screen? Yeah hard pass my dude.

You have completely lost the plot. This topic is about Windows and Linux ease of use. I don’t know what you’re talking about anymore.

Perfect. Good solution. Linux only for the elite.

This. This is truth!

Truth!

So that makes the “get good” advice valid? What are you talking about bro? I didn’t say Linux isn’t valid. I think you must have replied to me specifically on accident because your response isn’t germane to my reply. Or if you feel it is please explain. Make sure you use as many polysyllabic words as possible. I think you wrote up one of the Linux documents I’m to understand.

Or maybe I’ll just say: cool story bro.

This is what’s holding the community back. The “get good” advice isn’t really advice and keeps Linux from hitting the mainstream. I get it you’re amazing at Linux but the rest of us shouldn’t have to go back to school to get a computer degree and become a Linux professional in order to use it. This is the same person that replies to questions about Linux with “why do you need the GUI just use the command line instead or it’s dead simple just type: followed by like 80 lines of code that people can’t make heads or tails of because they’re novices. Man I get that you want to flex but it’s a pretty strange flex.

This is the point I was trying to get at; although very inelegantly. Thanks for this.

I would propose that perhaps linking religion with the religious leadership is linking Christianity with “the church”. And using that logic all Christians condone pedaphilia which isn’t the case. Islam the religion isn’t about cruelty anymore than Christianity is about white supremacy.

Also by that logic and if as you say you feel Islam is as whacked as Christianity you should just ban religious people. While being more exclusive I could get on board with that doctrine.

I’m sure she was Muslim till the very last cause I’d sure as hell find religion when I’m facing the end. I’d like to think I’d remain rational but it’s daunting AF. But she’s not one of the bad ones is she?

You wouldn’t deny that woman entry would you?

What about the nice people actually attempting to find a better life and a way out of the tyranny and oppression?

Dave the Diver & Factorio

Those two are the main drivers and the below are games I slot in once I feel like it’s becoming a grind

Vampire Survivors, XCOM: Chimera Squad, and Portals 2

I’m thinking something like AC: Syndicate or Metal Gear might also work as a change of pace. Anyone playing longer form narrative games on the Steam Deck?

Yep. Admittedly I couldn’t imagine an advanced player using the basic Xbox controller setup although I hear from the Switch players that it’s adequate. I could only play with the Steam Controller. It’s already verging on hard work playing it on a customizable multi button trackpad enabled controller that having limited controls would just break me.

And with the trackpad and back buttons and customizable controls it’s genuinely a treat to play. I don’t miss the keyboard/mouse. I even tracked down an old steam controller when I’m playing at home on the big screen.

Factorio. Godanmed Factorio ruining my life.

So the remote play functionality from before remains intact. So once paired with the PS5 the device can remotely turn the device on or the device is always listening for the connection.

This is a dedicated device for that though. If you read my initial post I’m not a fan of the device and even less of the manner by which IGN reviewed it. They’re looking at it in a complete vacuum and comparing it to a device that basically already failed (The Backbone).
