I'm personally more into wayland despite hearing how much developpers hate it. Is this problem exclusive to X11 or does it effect other graphical interfaces like wayland too? I haven't seen anything odd yet.
Like he said, this problem comes from a lack of workaround on minimal WMs. It should work perfectly on Plasma X11, which the Steam Deck uses for its desktop mode.
That would explain why Steam's menus did not work or when the window's position would be reset. Mind you, this happens only with very specific VMs, one of which is evilwm.
According to this issue on their Github, Steam runs through XWayland. My guess would be that XWayland implemented fixes for non-conforming programs the same way major DEs have.
A lot of pretty popular WMs are affected. Personally encountered it on dwm and openbox, awesomewm too I think. This problem is now over 10 years old, along with other annoyances like polluting your home with Steam shit, the mess of 32-bit library bundles you can find inside .steam, etc. Proprietary bullshit with CEF bolted on as a cost saving measure - not even once.
No wonder the glorified web browser runs like shit on my 4070.
I believe they've actually got CrossOver (which is Wine-based) working on the M1/M2 lines. It's especially aimed at making games compatible.
You can just use Powershell in Windows; but Linux is definitely more optimized for networking in general.
I've just been using Command Prompt and never ha an issue (aside from byobu having an audible chime when you switch tabs)
i love using that too, I have a shitty laptop im trying to renovate as a possible seedbox or just as a project PC in general and using SSH on my main linux mint computer to the fedora linux laptop is a goddamn dream.
Might sound a bit strange, but I think Linux's SSH client might be external instead of a core part of the kernel, it's just bundled into every distro you can think of like firefox. I agree that not having to install something especially if you do distro hopping is nice however.
Another use you could find for it is to turn it into a sandbox, think of it like a virtual machine, except it's not virtual
It is, ssh is typically provided by openssh’s sshd service (the d stands for daemon, the Unix name for services).
Zen is a kernel with some options some believe are better for gaming enabled, it’s a separate thing from the Xen hypervisor.
that seems neat but the issue is that it only has 2.5GB of RAM and a super old AMD CPU, not enough to do much.
Oh yeah 100%. I will never understand people who dunk on Microsoft but then immediately go to buy into Apple as the "privacy alternative" because a Linux distribution is "too nerdy" for them. Corporations don't care about you.
I guarantee his favorite app framework is React.
