If COD ever gets their heads out there ass and supports Linux it'll be over.

And they probably cost $80 total, if that.

Wait Those games will be all supported on the switch 2

That’s kind of interesting

Considering that it won’t be wider than the current switch

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Top be fair it is hardware that is 8 years newer than the first switch.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Still impressive

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

... I'm struggling to understand what you mean by "wider". As in the physical size? It is slightly larger, but even so why is that a factor?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yup sorry, what I meant was "thicker"

To fit in larger components, for exemple a bigger heatsink or fan

Steam Deck is straight superior to the Switch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Even if the hardware doesn't match up, why the hell would I want to spend $450+ on a handheld computer that I can't use as a handheld computer?

No, I will buy the handheld computer I can use to play games, or choose to use as a handheld computer that I can install whatever software on it I want.

Fuck consoles and corporate control over how you can use your gaming devices, fuck that this ever got normalized.

Buy a steam deck and forget giving Nintendo money.

Is that on top mangohud? If yes, how can it be setup horizontally?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Mangohud on the Deck has different layouts built in, the 3rd option iirc is horizontal. There's also a Decky plugin to let you create custom mangohud layouts from inside game mode.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf

 ## UI
 position=top
 horizontal
 ...the rest of your config
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

You don't have to set it up. It's built in.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Add

legacy_layout=false

horizontal

to your Mangohud.conf

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

That's built into the software. It's on the right side menu

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Goverlay is a good GUI for changing the mangohud config
