Did I say replaceable battery already?

Fairphone, Samsung Xcover.

https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_xcover7-12784.php It has a notch but the other features are covered.

The Samsung Xcover series only killed the headphone jack with release of the Xcover 7 Pro a mere 3 months ago. All this time a series of phones from one of the world’s top brands were available even in the US.

You can get the 2024 model and receive Android updates until 2031 because of Samsung’s 7 years of updates policy. Xcover phones also come with an SD slot and user replaceable battery, btw.

HEADPHONE JACK - I scream into the void

Then buy phones with them. They exist.

I don’t understand what the developer means by that: https://github.com/T8RIN/ImageToolbox?tab=readme-ov-file#️-foss-vs-market

I’ll just move to a distro that isn’t affected.

Just use Steam, Lutris, Heroic, and whatever as Flatpak. Flatpak solved the problem years ago. 32bit libraries there are just runtimes working independently of the host OS packaging.

It’s fine to relegate x86-32 to a sandboxed environment.

“Drops the Linux build to focus supporting proton” makes as much sense as “drops the windows build to focus supporting direct x in wine”

They could target WSL for Windows compatibility.

Sony XPeria still has jacks

A good quality DAC connected to your USB port will give you far better sound than having a headphone jack.

Nobody’s advocating for taking the USB-C port away.

Almost always I find torrenting the most convenient method to download anything. When someone puts some file up for download and that person uses one of those stupid free file hosters, I usually get annoyed by “disable ad blocker”, slow dl speeds, etc.

A torrent makes things so much more convenient.

there is also Heroic, which is similiar to lutris but in my opinion a bit nicer to configure :)

Heroic defaults to an ancient version of Wine-GE. They are currently in the process to migrate to a new tech called umu-launcher which allows them to use Valve’s Proton and Proton-GE directly. It’s basically done, so should appear in Heroic 2.16 but if one tries Heroic today, the compatibility might be worse than Lutris or Bottles.

Then my memory must be wrong.

Maybe my memory is wrong or it was different in an older SteamOS version. I remember Valve changed something about mounting SD cards a couple of months ago.

I don’t think Steam lets you pick the location for Proton’s virtual environments which is where Steam installs non-Steam games. AFAIK they are always in the home directory and you can only pick a random location when it’s a portable game without setup.exe.

then chang the path of the exe and the working folder to those of the installed game

I feel the need to underline this part because removing the setup.exe entry and the adding the installed exe doesn’t work. The entire virtual drive gets deleted when removing setup.exe. This makes the procedure a bit more complicated than it should be but it’s needed when it has to go through Steam because of Steam Deck Game Mode.

Games? Nigh impossible.

Decades ago DOS games had custom intro animations but that’s not really relevant for current games.
