No, the system doesn't tell you in any way that a mouse is connected, but when you move it in a supported game it just works

It works. I tested it with a Logitech G305 dongle. For some stupid reason it doesn't work in the home menu, only the joy con does. But in games that support mouse control it works. I tried it in Hogwarts Legacy

That is one of the options, that apparently a lot of the 3rd party devs are using. So far, all 1st party Nintendo titles are announced to include the game on the cartridge (not just a key)

Um sie zu verstehen

It's because it uses HBM (high bandwidth memory) as opposed to GDDR.

A short video explaining the differences https://youtu.be/CGIVKT0eM_s

I don't think anyone was expecting a Ryzen 3rd Gen era board when you wrote decade old. It's been 7 years since that board released (although I do admit that's a lot closer to a decade then I though it would be).

This board will run any modern GPU. The motherboard doesn't need to specifically be compatible with certain GDDR generations or what not, that is handled by the GPU itself, which communicates with the rest of the PC through PCIe*. You just need to make sure the PSU can deliver enough power.

You should update to the latest BIOS and enable resizable Bar: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000090831/graphics.html

*The ARC GPUs are 8° lanes of PCIe 4, your motherboard only has PCIe 3. This means that the bandwidth between the CPU and GPU is half of its maximum. In the vast majority of cases this will be a negligible performance difference of 1-2%, but some edge cases can lose you a bit more performance.

°If the GPU was 16 lanes this would be even less of a problem. Even the fastest GPUs can barely saturate 16 PCIe lanes. The fastest GPU, the Nvidia 5090, only loses 1-4% of performance when comparing PCIe 5x16 vs 3x16 (1/4 its max bandwidth): https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/nvidia-rtx-5090-pcie-50-vs-40-vs-30-x16-scaling-benchmarks

As a tall person... If someone kindly asks me if we can swap places, because they can't see from behind me, I will gladly swap with them. But don't expect me to do it for you. Also, if your being a piece of shit about it, you can get fucked.

Not really. The best example of Schadenfreude (imo) is when you follow a sports team (probably not too many of you here on Lemmy), whenever the rival team loses you feel Schadenfreude. There doesn't have to be any kind of 'just-ness' to it, actually if the rival team losses unjustly (played better, but were unlucky) the Schadenfreude is actually greater.

Of course there are times when something bad finally happens to someone that deserves it and you feel joy from it, but I wouldn't call that Schadenfreude, more like 'Vergeltungsfreude'.

While 'Schadenfreude' literally translates to the joy of damage, 'Vergeltungsfreude' would translate to the joy of retribution. Source: my German ass

No, not Proton, but the dxvk stuff works on Windows too. You just need to replace some .dll files

Well there is d9vk and dxvk which translates directX 9, 10 and 11 to Vulkan and vkd3d which translates direct3D (directX 12) to Vulkan. So it's all Vulkan on the Linux side, Proton 'just' uses one of these to translate the game into Vulkan or passes it through if the game is already Vulkan.

I don't think there is a native (to GTA IV) Vulkan renderer in game though and therefore there isn't anything more you can or have to do on Linux.

On Windows, some older games actually get performance improvements from the translation to Vulkan.

The Deck is great to mod.

I really wanted one of those transparent Atomic Purple shells for mine. Then thought, might as well swap the sticks since it's already opened up.

Well the transfer into the new shell requires complete disassembly, which was quite bit more involved then I anticipated. The screen is glued to the top half of the shell. Getting a bit impatient, I shattered my screen as I was trying to pry it off. You need to heat the adhesive and remove the screen before it cools. I had done a couple of phone screen repairs in the past, and let me tell you, they use a lot less adhesive and because they are so small, you'll easily be able to pop it off before the adhesive starts becoming super sticky again. Not so much with the Steam Deck.

Well, the Deck HD (1200p) screen was only like 10€ more than an OEM replacement, so I might as well. (I quite like it, much sharper and more vibrant than the original and FSR can still give you good results in games that can't hit the resolution, but the battery life did take a small hit).

Long story short, I love my Atomic Purple Steam Deck HD with Hall Effect Sticks, where one cosmetic mod led me to do two hardware upgrades. I don't regret it, but I doubt I would do it again. I just love how much you can do it.
