@nprofile…29up It's never actually windowed, the games run in their own compositor, if you toggle between windowed / fullscreen in-game, nothing changes, it's always fullscreen, looks exactly the same.
But for some reason, some games treat running fullscreen differently, and that hurts performance.
No idea why, but I've seen it myself a few times, so I set them to windowed (which often is the default anyway).
I've seen that mentioned in PCGamingWiki a few times as well, so this doesn't seem to be a SteamOS/Linux specific problem :Blobhaj_Thinking:

@nprofile…29up if you keep the settings at default, stuff usually works just fine, but I'm currently playing through my backlog from oldest -> newest, so my experience with very new AAA releases is very limited.
My somewhat current racing games all run at a stable 1080p/60 level with all graphic settings maxed, older games / indie games usually at higher resolutions without problems.
I'm quite happy with the power for my usecase, but you're definitly overpaying for the power you're getting, this thing only makes sense for people with large Steam libraries who don't own a current gen console.
If you decide to get one, don't set the default game resolution to 4K or something, keep it at 1080p, you can increase it for individual games.
Also one thing to look out for, don't enable fullscreen in games, windowed is better, some titles reeeeally take a giant performance hit from that.
Lonely Mountains Downhill, a little indie game I play a lot, caused the fan to spin up to a level that no other game has managed so far (it really is completely silent most of the time), but works fine in 4K if it's not set to fullscreen.

@nprofile…29up I have one and I really like it. I've had my Steam Deck connected to the TV for the last few years and it's basically that but more powerful and extremely quiet.
But I also don't have a lot of other reference points, my PC is ~15 years old, and I only buy Nintendo stuff otherwise.
If you're looking for a console experience, we're not there yet, you will run into some issues. But if the idea of a pre-hacked console sounds appealing, that lets you tweak whatever you want, then you might have a lot of fun with it (it can get a bit overwhelming though, especially if you're new to Linux gaming…).

First time mowing the lawn this year, we've almost reached (my) shoulder height, and I'm not exactly small … :Blobhaj_Mlem:
Thanks last-year-me for storing the scythe perfectly pre-sharpened, that was a great start :Blobhaj_Golly:

@nprofile…k0gr I only wish they'd add an option to hide that little x that appears when you hover over them, I keep closing my tabs accidentally :blobcateyes:

@nprofile…x759 I use the Whiteboard feature in Logseq (https://logseq.com/), after trying several others in the past and never really sticking to any of them.
My main usecase is network topology and backup routes so I have some simple bash scripts that create/update Markdown files for my systems and I then lay them out graphically.
With the added bonus that almost all my other notes, data, etc. are already in Logseq which makes it easy to cross-reference stuff when needed.

@npub198t…hasj you can use chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml, I've just bookmarked that as about:config so I don't forget :blobhaj_sir:

My copy of the zine made by @npub12rk…uvf3 arrived today. Absolutely delightful, those grungy decaying textures are just… :Blobhaj_Golly:
Also got reminded that Brexit happened, paying import tax will always be weird :BlobCat_RollingEyes:

Hey there, I'm hirnsushi he/they (increasingly the second one/any) *waves shyly*
I've moved here from strangeobject.space because it's sadly shutting down at the end of the year.
I'm an introvert so I might sometimes go weeks without posting. When I do it's mostly about birds, insects, nature around me (I live in the alps), some cooking and plants, maybe the occasional creative project (if I manage to finish one), or generally whatever my brain decides is interesting this week.
I do however boost quite a bit of art, photography, indie games etc. (only with alt-text). Post-deletion is set to 1 month so I don't unnecessarily strain the resources with those boosts.
Here's a picture of our (currently somewhat) sunny garden, seemed appropriate :blobhaj_sir:
