Cool, thank you! A lot of games on ProtonDB list specific versions of proton that work best for different games. That’s why I asked. But, I could just add a file in the root of the prefix with the version that worked (for troubleshooting purposes).

Do you have any preference for Lutris, bottles, vanilla proton?

Makes sense. I wouldn’t want to have all of my games in one wine prefix. I would like to keep them separate like steam/proton does. From looking it up, it seems the issue is that there is a lot of duplicate data that would need to be deduplicated. Steam supposedly does symlinks to solve this. But, if the symlinks points to /home/user/ as the base then that would break on /home/deck.

If you have any experience with Lutris/bottles. Do they do separate wine prefixes? If so, how do they handle it?

What about graphics drivers? What if the desktop has an Nvidia GPU and the steam deck is AMD. Would that even matter?

Ah. Different builds for different versions. Makes sense

I have three questions if you have the time. Can you make it go to desktop mode by default, not big picture mode? What DE does it come with, Plasma? Does it come with Lutris or whatever? If I have an .exe installer for an old game, does it come pre-installed with tools to help create the proton wine-prefixes and everything? I imagine the last one would allow Flatpak to be used.

I apologize for the confusion.

It makes it so that the direction of the switch doesn’t matter. Flipping the switch toggles to the off or on state that it’s not currently in. I like to think of it as a three-way switch that you may already have in your house where up doesn’t necessarily mean ‘on’ because there are two switches involved. The relay in the wall is the other switch. So if you have the light on in home assistant but you flip the switch, it’ll turn the light off whether it was up or down. I hope I made more sense.

If my wifi goes out my switches function as normal too.

I love my Shelly relays. I don’t use the stock firmware though. I have them overwritten with ESPhome.

I have heard that you can have full local control with them now and that it’s not really necessary to do a custom firmware. I just like having a configuration file that tells me exactly everything that it can do. That and I have a script running that updates all my ESPhome devices automatically.

Agree!

I wish, thread just isn’t there yet. I currently use Wi-Fi for most of my smart home stuff. I have a really good Wi-Fi setup though and it could support a lot of devices. I have been slowly moving to zigbee though.

I do in-wall relays so that I can use regular, off the shelf switches and it looks like nothing special is there. I like the idea of people not knowing it’s smart until I do something from my phone.

Thanks. I might have to watch that.

What am I missing? What is this movie?

I love the examples!

Huh, I thought brew was a Mac thing. Thanks for the link. I’ll give it some reading.

So, if I wanted to install zsh I would need to use a container for it?

Thanks for the input! I’ll look more into these

I agree with the foss alternatives part. FreeCAD isn’t great, but I’ve been loving ondsel lately which is a fork that improves the interface and even sends some pull requests to the upstream. 😊

How does installing apps work? I know you can use flatpak. But, what if it’s a cli app that you want to install that isn’t on flatpak?

¿Si?

A script to make it easy.
