This is great news. Gives me hope that one day, I'll be able to play all of my games on Linux.

I am one of the 0.05% on Debian. I feel special.

Same. Sadly I did not have my new baby during the last hardware survey.

I love to see it.

Each time I see posts like this, I hope to see adobe announce they are making linux versions of their software. Whether you like it or not, a lot of people do not switch because of adobe.

Can't you run it through Proton or Wine tricks at this point?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Nope, it will install but then say dlls are missing even though they are there.

I wonder where my Steam on Fedora 42 KDE lands

Now I wish we could permanently move from Android for all Android devices to something like lineage.

There are phone vendors like murena (not a manufacturer i think) who have some privacy OS preinstalled so you dont have a rooted phone that gets blocked for "privacy concerns"

If you are unsure if the apps you need work you can install waydroid on linux

God I wish someone would port AHK to linux. I literally depend on it to make software accessible.

AutoKey might be what you are looking for

It works for the most basic scripts but unfortunately its features pale in comparison

Same here, for some reason my covid hobby was learning a new keyboard layout and while I now prefer using Dvorak, my attempts at remapping key bindings like cut/copy/paste on linux has has been unreliable at best, and then switching between Dvorak and QWERTY for games that don't support layout-agnostic controls usually doesn't even register (at least on the steam deck it doesn't seem to)

have you tried keyd? I only use it for a few very simple remaps, but it's got tons of nooks and crannies to lose yourself in.

Woah, I have not! I will definitely be checking that out. Thank you!

you're welcome and/or I'm so sorry.
