This is making me realize that I have never encountered this equivalent of a blue screen of death on Linux.

Ah that makes much more sense. I think I crossed my wires. You mentioned backing up the Minecraft worlds and so I thought “deduplicated backups… so borg.”

I appreciate your explanation.

Is there a link?

Also, how does this compare to something like Borg?

And if you’re wrong, the other shoe just probably hasn’t dropped yet.

Ubuntu/Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux distros. It’s no surprise they were the choice for WSL.

Ubuntu has been forcing decisions on users and embedding advertisements for a long time.

Examples that immediately come to mind…

• When that Amazon search was embedded into the app launcher search.
• These sorts of self promotions.
• Quietly installing snaps instead of debs when using apt install

Losing the Internet Archive would be a huge loss. Unfortunately, greedy companies don’t want us to have nice things.

That’s awesome. Thanks for updating. Looking forward to this hitting stable!

I have all those plugins too, please report back if it works!

Oh that’s unfortunate. I have the LCD model and didn’t realize it can’t do this due to hardware.

Sort of, if you mean the controller tools one. I believe when that was working it would show battery percentage. The Bluetooth plugin does not. So this is more general.

It also brings the feature of waking the deck via Bluetooth which is super convenient if you use it docked.

I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but they have been making a lot of changes targeted at the docked experience lately, and I have a theory that is because they are getting close to announcing a Steam Deck Controller.

For those who unfortunately have to use Windows laptops for work, there is a workaround. Unplug the laptop before putting it to sleep/hibernate. That’s it. Super irritating they won’t fix it, but not surprising, too busy trying to shove (more) ads into the start menu.

What changed? The new update?

I had similar issues. When first booting into plasma6, my bottom panel was changed to floating. Changing it to not float made it spaced from the bottom of the screen.

While trying to fix that, I somehow managed to move the pinned icons all off the panel and onto the desktop, but they were unable to be clicked or moved. I ended up restarting for unrelated reasons and they snapped back to the panel.

I think there were other wonky issues with the edit session, but I don’t recall specifics. Good luck!

Edit: this was on a wayland session with integrated amd graphics.

Their CEO has gone out of his way to shit talk Linux multiple times on Twitter/X, spreading false information, he is also vehemently against doing the bare minimum to allow their games to work on Linux (enabling EAC support for proton in their games, which by their own words is just a checkbox). They also have no Linux support in their embarrassment of a launcher, which is why everyone recommends Heroic, even when using Windows because it actually has features.

A one time donation of what amounts to an insignificant rounding error for them to try to appease people unhappy with their stance on Linux does not mean they are not “against” Linux.

Additionally, instead of actually trying to compete and gain users but making a platform that isn’t trash, they insist on instead trying to trick users with temporary free game offers. And if that doesn’t work, they try to strong arm users into going to their platform by buying exclusive sales rights to games, bringing exclusives to the PC gaming space.

Their CEO is a loud clown who is always spouting nonsense on Twitter. They buy games studios and rip their games off of the platform where users bought them (see Rocket League), and discontinue mac/Linux versions that were fully functional.

Their flagship game preys on children via micro transactions. They lack so many features on their platform that (I believe) they have endorsed using Steams community features for games bought on Epic.

I could probably go on, but I think that’s probably sufficient.

Completely agree. Steam deck reports on ProtonDB are much more reliable. Using the decky plugin makes checking these really easy too.

A cryptocurrency miner. It uses your computer to generate currency, which costs you resources (electricity, compute power, etc.).

Checking back in to say it works great! Better than the old crankshaft plugin.

This is amazing. I’ve been waiting for a plugin for Decky that does this since I switched from CrankShaft. Going to try this later!
