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.
@skyblond What network issue?
@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. ;)
@wihou @trinsec I do have proxy setup for my linux server at home (the fixed not moving machine). The proxy only works with tcp, but some game requires udp to work. And my setup is almost hard-coded (using iptables or nftables) and for a moving device switching between different networks? I can already dream the nightmare 😂
(Vpn is not working in China since 2012, now we have custom software to cover the proxy)
@skyblond @trinsec as to the arch bit, I'm quite a fan of Manjaro. Have run through a manual arch install which was fun as a one off, but it felt like going back to the 90s. I prefer an arch base to canonical these days as it is more flexible.
