I switched from EmuDeck to RetroDeck, mainly because I wanted to sync everything between multiple computers using SyncThing and EmuDeck throws data everywhere (mainly due to using Flatpaks).

I set up RetroDeck the way I wanted it and then I ran the installer for EmuDeck, choosing the option to uninstall (was a while back, my mind is hazy on the details). It actually did uninstall it, though I think I had to delete a couple directories. It was pretty cleanly uninstalled, from what I recall.

Now I only have to sync one directory for RetroDeck, which also makes backups easy. The install also feels a lot more simple.

I think everyone has their favorite. I've been using Heroic for anything not-Steam.

GOG is the GOAT, but this meme misses the mark.

Honestly, Discord is 100 times worse for the same reasons.

For the time being, Proton is good enough for me. I think devs/publishers refusing to enable their chosen anticheat to work with Proton is what is holding things back now for tech people. For other people, there's even bigger challenges, and I doubt they even read up on these "tech nightmares" so they're good with just continuing on with Windows.

Maybe they should, gasp, include chargers with phones! What a concept...

They might now they're owned by Microsoft. They've been adding games to Steam (perhaps only Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4? so far?).

I don't believe WoW is on Steam. It's likely that Steam was just open in the background and popped up over WoW.

I'd love to see another player, but I don't think this is it.

The maintainer of the application chooses the categorie(s) but manually organizing things as an end user... is kinda dumb. Maybe I don't understand your workflow (or why the Start Menu is the way it is now with all programs barfed into one list, I figured it was for touch devices). It doesn't really matter, though, because search is used primarily now, anyways. Forgetting the name of the application is the only reason I can see digging through the Start Menu now.

Maybe I need to give Cyberpunk 2077 another shot.

 

A notification popped up on my phone today talking about this. I hit the button to adjust the settings and found that it was opt-out.

No, I don't want my app usage being used for ads. I don't want targeted advertising at all, but none of our fucking countries will take a stand against this shit.

This might be the thing that finally pushes me to switch to GraphineOS.

There was a time that I felt like Google was one of the good guys; they seemed to be doing great things with their products and pushing Linux. Now I feel like I want to de-Google my life.
