This works for me between Desktop Arch with pacman Steam install and my Steam Deck.

Never had to do anything special to set it up, I use the GNOME suite so I guess network-manager takes care of any network specifics.

So judging by the comments this is something you would install as a DE on a Linux distro, perhaps on a miniPC, not something running on the SmartTV itself?

That’s essentially a console and not a ‘pc’

I think the difficulty with Arch is not about using the command line, but about knowing the Linux ecosystem.

People coming from OS X or Windows probably don’t know the difference between a WM, or a DE or what Display server they should use.

They don’t know if they need to install a network manager or setup sudo on a new system.

These things come from experience of using a Limix system even a mainstream one like Ubuntu.

Yes

There are better ways than using Lutris

• Try with Bottles
• add Battle.Net as a non-steam game

Probably not the purpose of this distro but using snaps in this way are a massive benefit for embedded systems

99% of people don’t understand anything about Snaps except from thinking they’re worse than Flatpak

I used to use ~/devbut for years now I use ~/Workspace becaue Eclipse made me do it

Unfortunately there’s not a lot of choice when it comes to Linux games journalism.

Unsurprising from Liam, he’s and insufferable arse.

How did he get ousted? He setup the Lemmy community as far as I was aware?

Looks like he just quit

I’ve had a good experience with HeliBoard

I know what you mean, I bought a PSP and PSVita after my Steam Deck and currently I’m using the Vita as my goto emulator, the PSP is great for when I’m out and about and want something smaller.

Battery life on both is great

But what about Only Office?

Etcher is not recommend anymore because it’s adware and there are better free alternative like Impression

In my experience the AUR is useful but almost unnecessary, and if you want to use flatpak you can get away from using the AUR entirely

Who gives a shit!?

Yeah totally, I think to use Arch successfully you need an opinion about what your system needs, and that takes experience with using Linux.

Installation is pretty trivial these days with the install script

Ironically this is how I feel about Arch, for me it’s worked flawlessly for years.

I don’t bother getting in ‘discussions’ about using it, because if other people have problems I’m not going to convince them that I don’t.
