I have a win10 machine, for literally one program. It’s Pioneer Rekordbox. It’s required to analyse tracks for my Pioneer DJ decks. Runs fine in wine/proton, but there’s no usb pass-through so I can’t export to a usb to play on the decks standalone or plug my laptop into the decks for some features I mostly don’t use anyway.
I recently tried out WinBoat, and it crashes all of WinBoat. Tried in a VM, but won’t run properly. So I pulled out my old Surface Pro 4 and put windows back on it.
Interesting 🤔
I’ll have to give it a go. I have a Pioneer XDJ deck(digital turntable DJ thingy) and Pioneer refuses to make a Linux version of the mandatory software or support efforts to implement wine/proton/etc support. I got it running smoothly in bottles, but bottles/wine can only mount a USB drive as a harddrive not a USB drive. So while I can still play around with the decks, I’m locked out of the extended analysis stuff. So now waveforms, no auto-cue for vocals etc.
My understanding is that there’s essentially not much consumer law that is video game specific. Ross, SKG is his brain child though he’s not in control of the various petitions, has a few response videos about the 2 essentially non-responses.
Edit:

I DID grow up with Nintendo. The first gaming thing that wasn’t a DOS computer with asteroids and commander keen on it was a NES. Then an SNES. Then an N64. A few months after the N64 we got a Sega Genesis, and a PS1.
All that said?
…fuck Nintendo. Switch 1 games play at a higher resolution and better frame rate ON MY PHONE. I refused to buy a switch, and there’s no chance in hell I’ll get a switch 2. The fact that they say if they “detect” cheating or that your S2 is jailbroken they reserve the right, and built in the ability to, brick your device. Fuck them, get fucked, no fucking chance they’re getting a single cent, pence, fucking whatever out of me. Fuck yourselves well and truly to fuck! 👍🖕👍
Rant over 🥰
If we’re putting the SteamDeck against Nintendo, I’d say the natural comparison is Steam exclusives against Nintendo exclusives.
I disagree. It would be more accurate to say:
If we’re putting the Steam Deck against the Switch 2, the natural comparison is between Switch 1/2 compatible games, without jailbreak, versus any game that works on the Steam Deck hardware be it Linux Native, with wine/Proton and any emulator that runs games minimum original frame rate with minimal issues.
Bear in mind that the Steam Deck is a handheld Linux computer, and anything that will run on the level of hardware it has and plays nicely with Linux will run on the Steam Deck.
Even just with only installing Steam on the Deck, as of mid-May there is 18k Deck Verified games.
Dope! I’ll pop it on my wishlist and grab it on pay day
