Grabbed 2 Steam games so far in this sale. ROOMS - The Toymaker's Mansion, and Tangle Tower. A puzzle game and a detective game. I've played Detective Grimoire before, so I'm familiar with the latter. ROOMS itself seems to be a very solid sliding puzzle game.

Also ordered me a Steam Deck Dock, forgot to mention that yesterday. Then I can use my Steam Deck as a full Linux system. Well that's my hope anyway, because I seriously don't use it as a gaming console much at the moment. My gaming laptop is more convenient. ;) I don't go out enough for a gaming handheld. :P

@trinsec I have the similar plan, but concerning the network issue, I didn't order yet.

@trinsec Connecting steam from China. The workshop part has already been blocked, the steam services are not stable in China. I'm concerning a pacman -Syyu will take forever to finish 😂

@skyblond Well, you can just get to the Linux environment then, and just use Linux as is? The Dock would still make it easier to do that. I've tried putzing around with the trackpads and the Linux desktop.. it does work but damn is it annoying. Hence the Dock. ;)

@trinsec frankly speak, arch is not my dish, I mean "Syyu" for a system update, why?

I do hear people talking about the interface, it's really good in terms of Linux desktop. But I'm still scared by some package that only available on valve's server and take forever to download and update (and I strongly refuse to mess around with iptables to get proxy working, such a pain).

I'll try to convince my friend to order one and see how it works :ablobwink:

@skyblond I'm used to Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu) but I suppose this is a good way for myself to learn more about Arch itself. *shrug* Hey, Linux is Linux I hope! :D

@trinsec I do tried arch 5 or 6 years ago, following the guide, installing my system line by line, then ran into a circle where I need internet to download driver, but I need driver to access the internet, and all I had is a laptop using weird network chip. LOL

Since then I never touched vanilla arch again and tried manjaro several times. Now I have settled with opensuse. I think for normal desktop usage, the distro isn't that different, until you have to open the terminal and do something.

@skyblond Yeah, see, I have a device which has everything ready for me. I don't have to install it. 😁
