It really sounds like you have a major problem with the printer that needs to be resolved. Without knowing any more details I would suggest making sure the nozzle isn't clogged and possibly replacing the hot end.

I had similar printing issues with some filaments, due to heat creep. The printing would start ok on mine, but after the printer had been running awhile it would print like that. In my case heat was travelling up the hot end and Bowden tube, which was causing printing issues after a certain amount of time had passed. Some filaments were more sensitive about this than others, my cheap plain filaments and my multicolor filaments wouldn't print well, but medium to high quality plain filaments would print fine.

There are a lot of things that can contribute to heat creep, I ended up replacing my hot end and Bowden tube, and lowered my print temperature some.

220° is pretty high, I would try to figure out why it won't print below that temperature and see what you can do to bring that down. See if that fixes it.

The steam recovery media let's you reinstall just the OS while preserving user files.

As long as you haven't done anything too dramatic like converting your file system to BTRFS

Edit: This will downgrade you to a much older version of SteamOS though, from which you would then have to update back to current. This can be a problem because some early issues (like the OLED deck not being able to connect to wifi 6E networks) can make it frustrating to update.

I'm guessing they maybe have fully blind players, and partially blind players. The partially blind have to wear masks.

Just a guess though.

Edit: so actually according to Wikipedia:

Teams are permitted to use sighted athletes as goalkeepers and guides;

All players, except for the goalkeeper, are blindfolded.

There are leagues where partially blind people are allowed to play, they're ranked by level of impairment and can have x number of players at higher vision ratings.

Presumably the hand grips on the deck keep enough of a gap under the deck to keep this from being an issue.

Clearly this shows that North Korea is the peak example of a successful society, and that the rest of the world should aspire to mimic them in all their wise practices.

 

This is different from Bazzite and some of the other SteamOS similar operating systems by being as close to vanilla SteamOS as possible.

According to the devs:

It's a SteamOS based distribution that is intended to be as close to 1:1 compatible with upstream SteamOS as possible while making changes to support a wider range of hardware. It originated as a fork of HoloISO but it has been majorly overhauled to eliminate things like post-copy operations (as much as possible), introduce our own signed package repositories, add an automated release process, and provide many bug fixes and refinements. The focus has largely been on handheld gaming consoles, but it's in use on a variety of AMD based mini PCs as well.

I have both the Spigen case and the JSAUX modcase, and both will fit inside the carrying case. The modcase one has to have the front cover and kickstand removed to fit however.

That said, I usually only use the modcase with front cover now instead of the original carrying case.

You should definitely use OpenMW instead of vanilla, it's not a mod but is instead a full engine rewrite. It runs natively on linux, has better performance, and a whole lot of other benefits:

  • Native support for macOS, Linux, and Windows
  • Improved physics and AI
  • Distant terrain
  • Save/Load dialogs organized by character
  • Quality of life UI improvements, such as being able to search for spells
  • Multiple quicksaves
  • World map adjusts automatically to fit new landmass from mods such as Tamriel Rebuilt
  • Support for up to 2147483646 loaded mods (up from 255 in the original Morrowind engine)
  • Since it was made from scratch, virtually no engine bugs from the original Morrowind
  • And much more

You can install it from the Discover store in desktop mode and then add it to steam, or alternatively you can use a tool like Protonup-qt (also in the discover store) to install Luxtorpeda, which is a tool for automatically launching supported games with rewritten engines. Once Luxtorpeda is installed you can open Morrowind steam properties in game mode, and check the "force specific compatibility tool" box and select to run the game with Luxtorpeda. After that it will automatically run the game through the OpenMW engine instead.

Here's the original news article, it's actually about boneless chicken wings being allowed to have occasional bones.

You'll need to set a password for Cryoutilites I think. In desktop mode you can open konsole and run the command passwd, then enter your password twice. After that you can just run the Cryoutilites installer.

With the lower cut Epic takes games could be cheaper there, but Valve uses their dominant market position to force developers to set the same price on other marketplaces if they want to also be on Steam, which is essentially required.

I've heard that brought up, but I've never seen actual proof of it. It clearly doesn't apply to sale prices though, because other stores basically always have lower sale prices than steam itself.

I haven't played world, so unfortunately I can't make a comparison. There's definitely grinding to do though, hopefully someone who has played both can comment about it.

 

This is debatable if it belongs here, but since these will be running Bazzite they're basically emulation focused Steam Machines. I think these have enough overlap with the Deck to be worth discussing here.

For those who don't know:

  • Emudeck provides a series of tools to make setting up emulation on the Steam Deck easy. Includes installing emulators, setting up control schemes, installing CRT shaders, and adding emulated titles to Steam so that you can run them like native steam games.

  • Bazzite is a SteamOS alternative. Biggest difference is that it's based on Fedora linux instead of Arch linux. Otherwise it provides a similar experience to SteamOS, with a steam based game mode, decky extension support, and many other similarities. It's main advantages are that it works on non-Deck hardware, supports permanently installing non-flatpak linux software, and lets you use different linux desktops besides KDE.

 

A particularly fun bit:

So then, how about Fortnite on Linux / Steam Deck? Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said when it hits "tens of millions of users" that it "would actually make sense to support it". We must be pretty close by now right? Why ignore a platform that's sold multiple millions, and is clearly just continuing to fly off the shelves?

 

This is a guide and shell script to run steam through gamescope on a non-logged in Linux system.

Basically you can remotely connect to your Linux system through ssh, start steam without a desktop environment, and the games will run that way only accessible to the remote streaming devices (ie steam deck, steam link, or other paired steam client).
