S-Mode is an appliance mode for Windows that prevents installation of any app not from the Microsoft Store. Disable S-Mode and you can install any application like you’ve always done, including Firefox.

Fedora should play nice with Secure Boot enabled. You also shouldn’t need to do anything with the TPM.

Depending on the model and brand, there’s probably a YouTube video showing how to disassemble it. This can help you find the keyboard connector and how to disconnect it.

So the only difference is one is a phone, and the other a gaming device? Because Nintendo js a gatekeeper in exactly the same way Apple is. Nintendo controls the entire operating system and which apps you’re allowed to install on the Switch. You’re going to have expand on how Apple has economic power over other companies and people for me.

They’re replacing their in-house engine with Unity, so SI has actually been rebuilding the whole game in a new engine. From what’s been going around, they ran into issues with Unity’s UI tools.

So… What is this? It looks like a config file generator? How is this better than Ansible?

A 780M is noticeably better than the Steam Deck GPU, which is what it’ll be compared to.

I suspect that price is a bit high for most people. I think it’s largely coming from those screens.

I don’t recall in virt-manager off the top of my head. But if you make changes in the XML of a domain, you do have to shutdown/restart the domain before they’re effective. And just to be safe, I would say to shutdown the domain, then check the XML, then start up again.

You do say you’re just using qemu, so if that’s the case and you aren’t using libvirt in front of it, shutdown the VM, make sure your qemu command specifies an e1000 network device, and run again.

I can check virt-manager when I get some free time this evening, if that’s what you want/need.

You may need to shut down the VM, check the device config to ensure it’s set to e1000, then boot it back up. The PCI ID on your original post belongs to the virtio-net device.

Instead of trying to backport the virtio device drivers to that version, I’d recommend editing the VM to use the emulated e1000 NIC.

I believe the only way to firmware up an Xbox controller is on an Xbox or through the Xbox Accessories app on Windows. I’ve been using my work laptop to update my Xbox controllers.

As an alternative, some of the 8bitdo controllers are in LVFS, and I’ve heard the PlayStation Controller Firmware Updater works in WINE for DualShock and DualSense controllers.

Steam is putting out the end of year summaries. You should see it in Steam.

When you see the Windows and Apple icons on a game, that indicates native Windows and MacOS support. The Steam logo is native SteamOS/Linux. You’ll also see a “SteamOS/Linux” section on the system requirements.

Centralized logging like Graylog or Grafana Loki can help with a lot of this.

It looks like you’ve created a partition for Linux - you need to delete this partition. Leave it as “unallocated” or “free space”. Then the Fedora installer will see it as space it can install to. The installer will handle creating the actual partition.

The Yakuza games are on sale on Steam. Do you recommend any in particular for someone who’s never played one?

I feel like the extended version of Kingdom of Heaven is much better and makes more sense than the theatrical.

The quotes are there because there’s spaces in the file name. You don’t see them in the GUI because they’re not actually there. They’re added by the ‘ls’ command to help with copy/pasting of file names. You can add ‘export QUOTING_STYLE=literal’ to your ~/.bashrc to permanently suppress them, or just do ‘ls -N’ as a one off.

I definitely prefer Firefox as it is now to that.

No webcam. I have an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT.
