Added 2022-07-11 09:13:47 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I hope you're all doing well!
Here is episode 27 of your weekly patroncast.
In this one, I talk about:
01:06Trying and failing to set up a SteamOS gaming console
11:03 Microsoft badly wording a store policy that led people to believe they wanted to ban FOSS apps from their store
17:55 Turning a friend into an intern to build a new website, and also reaching a good work/life balance
I hope you enjoy listening to it!
Best,
Nick

Yeah, I don't know why, but it seems there's an issue with this laptop, Steam, and external monitors. I don't think it's a coincidence that things ran well with the laptop only, but failed on 2 different distros, with 2 different UIs, when plugged in to an external monitor. I know for a fact that it ran well with the TV when using Windows, back in the day, so there's something not quite right here!

2022-07-15 08:41:18 +0000 UTCI actually set up a notebook for playing once. I used Big Picture mode and it worked flawlessly. Only problem was even back then I was stuck on hardware 7 to 10 years in use so not many games would run. Edit: I don't know what graphics it used though.
2022-07-14 18:00:38 +0000 UTCYeah, it's pretty cold (arond 16 degrees most of the time), but it's wide, it's nice, and it's super close (like 20 minutes drive)! That's why I picked Brest, the beaches there are very rarely crowded, and while you don't get the most sun, when you do, it's truly magical!
