Yeah, Multiviewer is a huge PITA to use on steam deck since it gets wiped on updates, Brave, my browser of choice is explicitly blocked from the web version and I’m used to the android interface so it seemed right on my main PC since I already needed to do it this way on my deck.

F1tv, Amazon music and that’s about it more or less. I’ll occasionally use it on my steam deck for some android games but I don’t play more than maybe 3 or 4 android games total and that’s rare.

Mandrake, I wanna say ~1998 or so. But tbh, I only recently finally took the plunge and wiped all traces of M$ off my system. I’ve tried Linux distris over the years and always just couldn’t make them work for me for one reason or another. Red hat, Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Manjaro, Arco, Endeavor. Nothing really worked out for me and something inevitably broke that genuinely wasn’t my fault. Now, I have settled on pure Arch with KDE and for some reason, it’s been stable and been used daily for months now and I can’t think of one thing that could ever make me go back, or anywhere else for that matter.

Assassin’s creed 3 remaster, Tomb Raider Trilogy, Just Cause… Its just a coincidence all im playing right now are old games, lol.

Oh, this is a flipping great question. So much fun as I’ve just settled on one distro. M$ won’t allow me to transfer my transferrable Windows license and I refuse o pay yetagain for Windows so Linux is my sole OS from now on. I have had so many weird issues or configuration woes with a ton of OSs ive been trying. So I tell ya, I sure have installed my fair share of them in the last month or so.

GUI:

• Steam (Gotta get my game on)
• ProtonPlus
• Lutris
• Heroic
• Winetricks
• Protontricks
• VLC
• Brave
• Bitwarden(Probably the second most important software in my life)
• Authy
• Krusader (No idea why but Ill use this before the built in file manager sometimes)
• Plex htpc
• Kate - Notepadqq (havent decided which one i like best yet)
• PolyMC
• LibreOffice
• Flatpack (I always prefer the native package but flatpack has almost anything the repositories lack)-
• Appimagelauncher (Just for ease of use, appimages are a always third fiddle but are a great backup as flatpacks can be - limited in available software compared)
• Gimp (Almost exclusively because the name makes me giggle)
• OBS Studio

CLI:

• MC (100% always the first this I ever install no matter what)
• HTOP (Not standard in all as many distros as i would think)
• Openssh
• Cifs-utils
• Starship
• Zsh
• Neofetch
• Tmux (Cant live without it)

Of course there are tons of other small things I add but those are the ones I will have installed likely before I go to reboot for the first time. The rest of what I interact with is generally running on my server so it’s all web based stuff for the most part. I use VNC often to interact with virtual machines, do tech support for my son so i don’t have to get up (disabled). I haven’t really found a Linux VNC client i genuinely like. I used to use TightVNC with Windows and it’s about the only thing I miss. I do have a Guacamole docker running on my network but unless you have a physical KB/M it’s less than preferable to use. I’ll find something I like eventually I’m sure. 👍-----
