I have one of these and a dumper.

I took all of the games we have and dumped them onto an SD card. I use it for the second switch we have that our kid uses.

No messing about with swapping cartridges and taking a chance on losing one, which has already happened once.

I ended up with a V2 which is even better. No wear and tear from popping the cartridge in and out and all the games on it.

Aside from the “inconvenience” of having to push the button to roll through the games, it was worth it.

I’m curious about the stick drift thing.

I have 3 controllers, two of which I’ve had since maybe 6 months after the PS5 was released since that’s about how long it took me to get one.

Both controllers have a few hundred hours on them, neither have stick drift. The third one doesn’t have nearly the amount of hours on it since my kid spilled juice on it and I procrastinated for a few months to take it apart and clean it lol so I’m not considering that one.

Is it really that bad or did I just get lucky? These things are almost 4 years old and still work perfectly fine.

I was considering that, but was reluctant to do it without any advice since I don’t know enough about the Deck and how it works other than it runs on a variant of Arch.

After your comment I did try it and it worked.

Thank you!

On a bus from El Paso to Phoenix someone smoked a joint in the bus bathroom and got dumped on the side of the highway immediately after.

Two hours later on that same bus trip the bus got raided by immigration and I got into an argument with the officer that wouldn’t accept my ACTIVE, UNEXPIRED Military ID as a valid form of ID and started yelling at me for my passport (I have a Spanish last name). I threw my passport at him and told him to fuck off before I got my command group involved with his. I don’t know how that worked but he got real quiet and left me alone immediately after that lol. There were several people that were pulled off of that bus that night. It was overall pretty shitty.

It’s actually being pushed as “broken” for 6.10 but should hopefully be completely available in 6.11.

I didn’t at first, but after the response from @mranderson17 I ended up doing just that. Which seems to have resolved that issue.

Prior to enabling testing/unstable repos for access to Plasma 6.1, CM was working fine on Wayland. However after the update it seems to have broken it but changing to X11 fixes the issue. So it’s likely a combination of me messing with my system and something with Plasma 6.1.

Thank you for that.

It didn’t help but it definitely got me moving in the right direction. I remembered that I recently (yesterday) enabled the testing and kde-unstable repos in my system so I could install Plasma 6.1 to check it out. Prior to this change I had CM working properly but was having issues getting CSP to work. Well, I figured out a workaround to getting CSP to work (after this change) by just copying over my install directory from windows on top of the install in Linux. However since I had already updated to Plasma 6.1 it came with the new issue of the drop down menus.

I was using Wayland. Just swapped over to X11 and it’s working as intended. So something with Plasma 6.1 on Wayland is causing the issue.

So mostly a bunch of messing around with my system is probably what is causing the issue and for whatever reason disabling the testing and unstable repos isn’t allowing me to revert back to the previous version of Plasma. Not really sure why but that’s a totally different issue.

I really appreciate the time you took to give me such an in depth response.

KDE is fine. I’ve been using it for some time now and never really had any significant issues that weren’t caused from my own meddling.

I say that as someone that has been on and off using Linux variants for probably 20 years now.

I run my kids machine on pop os with KDE, auto login that opens steam in big picture mode. Haven’t had any issues at all.

You can put the pumps in maintenance mode. I did it on accident once looking for the mute button. I held down one of the buttons for like 10 seconds and the pump went into maintenance mode. Just leave it like that lol.

Just installed this on my shield. Ty for this.

This is the point here.

Many people have no idea of the infrastructure and costs needed to run many of these servers that provide services to people.

I disagree with things like Adobe basically using it for DRM but have no issue for services that are literally serving millions of people and providing something worthwhile that the majority of the population would otherwise not know how to do on their own.

There is some nuance to it, like offering a service and then slowly creeping costs up or adding an advertisement tier and dropping everyone to that etc is crap. But in general, if they are providing a decent service then I don’t really have a problem with it.

Yeah, my primary is Kubuntu. I have windows on the side for the few games I have that I need it for.

Why don’t you just use control panel?

I never use the windows settings menu unless I absolutely have to because, like you insinuated, it’s really not that great.

Control panel on the other hand is still there and will get you exactly where you need much quicker.
