If I remember right, mobile games did tried to somewhat tried make console experience work on mobile phone but of course phones was way underpowered and not to mention that majority of mobile games have touch controls which compare to controller are just really naff. Only few people would maybe get an Bluetooth controller. That's why more simplex game just works better on mobile and then it just riddle with clones and shovelware
I mean, you can always limit the use of using the computer instead if full out not using it for a certain time frame.
Using Kodi on Rasberry Pi, I was able to open USB Drive's directory so I wasn't sure if it related to AppImage for some reason not detecting it.
May I ask why you want to do that?
I think OP just want to show the console, not if the game library hold ups
AppImage of MediaElch won't detect my USB Drive
I downloaded the AppImage file from the GitHub Repo and I did check that my USB Drive is connected which I can access it through my File Manager as well as Gnome's Disk Utility.
Oddly, when I tried to set an directory for Movies and TV-Shows in MediaElch, it acts like I hadn't plug my USB drive.
XFCE as I like the look of the classic Windows layout. Might eventually try out KDE for Wayland support but there's something about the simplicity of XFCE which I love.
Does multiple of Lemmy Community with the same name but on different instances matter or would it be mostly identical?
I thought I might give Lemmy a tried as I want to not use Reddit as much and feel bad every time I do, even if it searching an problem I have and Reddit post is the top result.
Might be overthinking it but does community with same name but on different instances matter? I remember feeling little overwhelmed seeing few gaming communities but of course are on different instances and not sure if one is better or if joining them all is okay or just better to join in one. I wasn't sure if they would have different rule-set or how they deal with moderation as each would be a different moderation team I assume.
I have used Mastodon and Misskey forks for couple years but I hadn't use Lemmy as much and still a noob with it. Sorry if this has been asked loads of times, I just want an answer so I stop overthinking so much where I stop using it
Thanks for reminding me, I need to try Inkscape properly and watch tutorials of it.
appreciate the diagram.
Thank you so much! I wasn't sure how to explain it without it being too wordy. Can't wait once I got the DAC where I can switch inputs for my PC and Dreamcast.
Do you know what parts you’re gonna get for your computer and have you checked them for Linux drivers?
Roughly, yes I know the parts I want. I am going down full AMD route mainly for Linux compatibility. If NVIDIA isn't as hit and miss for Linux desktop, I would of get the graphics card as from what I read online, they suppose to be good for rendering videos or at least for DaVinci Resolve if I want to try to use the "industry standard". For now, I would use Kdenlive and learn video editing there and if I can imagine wanting to do video-editing as a career, then I might learn Resolve.
Even though I’m Linux only, I think the dual-boot idea makes sense for you.
Same and I wish I can be 100% Linux only, I don't think the sort of workflow I want to have as well as my skill on Linux is somewhat limited. Will be interesting to try run few Windows application with WINE like Affinity Suite but the worse thing is that I can't be arsed to keep tinkering around and would boot up Windows for it. I have a feeling there's some guide to get it up and running on Linux somewhere online so it be both fun and tedious time of searching online for it and following the step.
And then there's couple of online games that I believe have anti-cheats which doesn't like Linux. I tend to be more a single-player gamer anyway so the worst thing for me would be having to boot to Windows to play games that doesn't like Linux and refused for me to play online.
My plans for my bedroom
Building PC
This is my main goal as I am saving money to buy parts to build a PC. I think it makes sense for me as I want to go down the dualboot route of having both Linux and Windows bootable but on separate drives. Linux would be my default OS as I tried it on my laptops for the past 2 years but because I want to do gaming as well as graphics design, I'm still keeping Windows as more of a Plan B if anything.
Graphics Design
I'm planning to learn about Graphics Design which I know it bit hit and miss on Linux. Would give GIMP a proper try but I don't know how great it would be for me but watching tutorials online and doing them doesn't hurt. Otherwise, I might buy Affinity Suite and try see if I can get it running on Linux which there be some guide online to do it.
I just know there's going to be that person that would bring up about Canva owns Affinity and I am also concerned about it but looking at the tools and comparing to other software (like GIMP), it should do the job that I wanted to do with as less hassle. I will still route for GIMP but I be waiting for the stable release of v3 to see if I would mostly use it instead of proprietary software. I don't want to be caught on of the "What it could be" and the FOSS Philosophy if it doesn't currently have the workflow I wanted.
My Audio Setup
I moved around my Dreamcast which was pervously plugged to my TV and move it near my desk to free some space on top of my drawers. On top my drawers is the Surround Receiver, PlayStation 2 and the GameCube. One of the thing I realised when moving it was that the DAC I have doesn't have an RCA input but only USB input. At that time, I was thinking it would only be my PC connected to it and not thinking about older game console be plugged to my audio system.
This is for reference of what I want my audio setup to be..
I originally wanted to have only my computer connected to the DAC which is why I got DAC which only takes USB Input for audio but now, I need one that takes both RCA and USB input. I much prefer changing the volume by adjust it through a single knob as well as use switch to switch input rather than go under my desk and swapping cables that goes to my subwoofer. Not to mention that PC and Dreamcast have different volume as I usually tend to have the volume knob for PC bit low and the Dreamcast startup intro was ear-hurtingly loud without the DAC to adjust the volume. My speakers and subwoofer doesn't have best volume control where it produce no sounds and all suddenly does make a sound if I at a certain dial on the speaker knob itself. With the DAC, the issue is gone so you can see how playing games on the Dreamcast is bit problematic for me as my current DAC doesn't have RCA input.
Seem as I don't have a PC yet, I tweak the volume knob on both my powered speaker and subwoofer to be bearable with playing on the Dreamcast. After sorting out the PC, I would buy another DAC to be less of a hassle for me to do.
