Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?English
13·7 months agoPeople used to leave their PCs running 24/7 due to the fear of thermal expansion causing hard drive failure. It’s not a problem anymore as far as I know, but this practice stuck with a lot of old power users.
It wasn’t quite as silly when PCs didn’t draw so much power.
The sleep functionality has historically been unreliable at best so that gets avoided as well.
Now, in 2026, even if I’m just going outside for 20 minutes I’ll sleep the machine, unless it’s doing something in particular.
To use the AUR on Cachy you simply use paru instead of pacman. It is a frontend to pacman, and lets you search / install from the AUR as if it’s in the main repo.
Edit: side note, I’m really happy to see the windows power users coming over, you guys switching is what will really push adoption imo.

Linux@lemmy.ml•So, why *should* GNOME support server side decorations?
71·8 months agoSeems like 9 gnome devs use lemmy.
They mention using flatpaks and snaps.
From the website: “Apps primarily come from Flatpak and Snap.”
Putting snap on an arch derived distro is disgusting.
Side note, I hope you’re making use of zram!

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Will steam deck 2 be on arm? what would change?English
20·9 months agoValve are doing the ARM experiment with the Steam Frame.
They mentioned not wanting to release a Steam Deck 2 until there was a significant performance upgrade available.
In my opinion an ARM chip with the FEX translation overhead isn’t going to be it just yet, it will probably be another AMD SoC.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Valve’s Android compatibility layer now has its official name, Lepton, and a cute frog logo.
20·10 months agoThis made me wonder, with FEX couldn’t Valve release steam for android? Steam library on your phone sounds good to me.
