That would make it:

 for #shazbot the Workstation
 for #mork the daily driver laptop
 for #mearth the dual boot play machine
 for #mindy the easy2use laptop

🤔 I am going to enjoy that diversity.

Reordered just to make it #FABZ 😆

 installed on #mindy and thus far I am very pleased with both look and feel on this #AcerSwift3 with #Ryzen4700u laptop.

Only thing I couldn't quickly sort out is the Fingerprint Password Settings app in the #zorinOS repo.

Other than that I have no problem seeing why it has become a popular choice for those with #Win10 that Microsoft gave a 🖕 to about upgrading to #Win11.

 now up and running on #mearth.

As well as got  going.

First game installed is #hollowKnight, which I suspect will make at least a few of my Team  mates 😃 about.

Now to see how well it runs on the 3440x1440 QD-OLED 240Hz monitor 🥳

Sweet, the #8BitDoPro2 Bluetooth controller paired out of the box to  and worked flawlessly with #HollowKnight on  

It is incredible how good gaming on  have gotten 🥰

I'm very happy now 🥰

On Win 10/11 I could never get #SettlersIV running properly. In particular the little guys, the settlers, would not show, rendering the game unplayable.

But using #HeroicGames in  I only had to login to my #GOG account, click install and then launch. Nothing more. No weird tricks or settings.

It just started playing perfectly 🥳

I'm mentally back in front of the  A2000 30+ years ago, where I spent so many hours playing this game.

I'm very happy now 🥰

@tsvenson ordered the Pro 3, lets see how loud those buttons really are ...

I bookmarked a tutorial on how to make these more silent, should be doable since I do have some good tooling for opening.

Enjoy!

@Anachron

Thus far I haven't actually noticed the sound the buttons are making. But then I am old school, growing up with the controllers of the 1970s and onwards 😆

@tsvenson oh, the Pro 2 doesn't have this issue, the Pro 3 that I'm getting is supposed to have it.

@Anachron

I have the SN30 pro too, and the buttons on it is louder. Especially the D button, that on the Pro 2 is almost silent in comparison.

Show threadAnachron Dec 3

@tsvenson the problem seem to be the swappable ones are with magnets which cause higher click volumes.

I don't really need swapable ABXY buttons, so I may very well either open it up and put some tape onto it or replace the buttons with the Pro 2 ones so they're more silent.

Maybe it doesn't disturb me though,- I am currently using a mechanical keyboard which is somewhat loud too, so maybe I am not so sensitive after all.

How do you like your Pro 2?

@Anachron

For me, see swappable is more an expensive gimmick on controllers.

I like the Pro 2. Feels good to hold, and matches the PS5 well, which is great for muscle memory.

@tsvenson 8bitdo Ultimate 1 has worked fine since day one on bazzite as well for me.

@TheBen

And with no need to install drivers or anything. It just works 🥰

@tsvenson I ran one of those R7-4700u Swift 3 laptops for years. Definitely an undersung microbudget hero IMO. Was when it was new, still can be today.

It has served me well over the years. Now getting a new and even more important purpose, with   on it 😃
