Yeah I do understand the differences, that’s why I said they are essentially the same, because to a less tech-inclined end-user they function in the same way.
I dunno, I guess I just don’t super understand the hype around SteamOS coming to desktop. I do get the excitement for OEM devices with it though.
As well, Bazzite is for all intents and purposes just SteamOS with support for other handhelds. It runs the exact same gamemode package that the Deck does.
I think in that regard, Lemmy is a forum software just like vBulletin or Discourse is. However, I would really like to see a flat forum with federation.
I mean, I did read what they wrote. Remote desktop to iOS. Sending the desktop of the computer, to an iOS device. Nobody calls the home screen of a phone a “desktop”.
I, don’t think that’s what they meant, but I could be wrong.
Remote desktop to iOS: Not sure this is possible even on Windows, I use remmina for remote desktop, it supports several ways of connecting to the other device so maybe see if it works for you.
What? This is absolutely possible, and it seems like OP is already doing so from Windows. Remmina is also, as far as I’m aware, a client app, not a server. I would personally recommend Sunshine, with Moonlight as the iOS client, but that’s more geared towards gaming. xrdp would be my recommendation if OP is using the built in Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol currently, as that will continue to work with whichever iOS client they are already using. Otherwise, if they’re using VNC currently, I would go with TightVNC as there are dozens, if not more, iOS clients.
Could I get a link?
It doesn’t even have to be something with subscriptions. Hardware drivers are (usually) freeware too for example. AMD is an unusual exception to that being open source. Then you have IK Multimedia who include a license key for their drivers and charge $50 to transfer it, and won’t even let the new owner of a product pay that if they bought it second-hand. Ask me how I know.
Yeah it’s definitely an interesting and unique design, so it doesn’t exactly surprise me that it costs AU$525. Disability tax is kind of a fact of life honestly, between products being for a smaller niche of the community, and the knowledge that insurance of some sort is often paying for it. Comparatively though, Microsoft’s Adaptive Controller starts at only AU$130, but that isn’t really a full controller OOTB. You need at least a couple of joysticks, and a few more buttons, which cost almost as much as the controller again each, pushing up towards the cost of the Byowave device. However, it’s a fully extensible platform using simple 3.5mm TS and TRS for buttons, analogue triggers and sticks. Plus two USB-A inputs for joysticks as well. This allows for much more specialised inputs such as Sip and Puff switches, but these start at US$325 (AU$515).
I guess my point is that it’s not great, but it’s not terrible either for certain niches.
Oh awesome! I looked into rolling my own image to combine Aurora-DX with Bazzite about a month or so ago, but I’ve been really busy since and hadn’t made much of a start. This is really exciting to see, will rebase over on my desktop as soon as NVIDIA gets support.
With Valve moving SteamOS and the Steam Deck’s Game Mode UI to support other handhelds like the Legion Go S, and maybe even Desktop at some point, it makes sense why they would be changing this. (emphasis mine)
Isn’t this what Big Picture Mode already is?
Bazzite is a collection of packages and default settings, as is SteamOS. My point is that a cross-platform Gamemode replacement could be used by better already established distros like Bazzite.
I mean, I’m all here for a cross-platform Gamemode replacement, but that could be a package, rather than needing to be a whole distro.
Edit: and I meant to add, I’d love to see someone like Lutris develop it.
What makes it more tailored than Bazzite? That includes Lutris, which you can use to install games from GOG, Itch and Epic Game Store, as well as add them to Steam for Gamemode with just one click.
Oh, sorry if I came across like I thought you were correcting me. I’m just, it’s been a big day, maybe I shouldn’t be commenting on the internet 😅
