Franework isn’t even available in my country (switzerland) so I guess it’ll be difficult to find refurbished ones in the EU.

Oh great!

I had been using the Beta version which added online accounts a while ago.

I’m looking forward to trying 1.0✌️

Wow what a surprise!

Let’s hope it takes off and remains there for a really long time with a bit more users.

Or having a Playstation 5 in the side to avoid Windows.

It’s what I’ll be doing with a Steam Deck/Playstation 5 combo.

Finally I’ll be able to replay the first Gears of War.

If it runs on the Steam Deck, I might even play it there instead of on my ps5.

Thanks. I’ve seen a few sellers showing the battery health of their Deck, so I might choose one of these.

I'll probably end up playing a lot of strategy games or ps3 era games on 720p with 30 fps on the big screen so I hope what you mentioned won't be a problem.

I also hope it'll be smooth jumping from portable mode to docked mode (a bit like the Switch) and it'll be able to directly go into 720p30fps mode without having to set it up all the time.

Yeah I kind of agree. What I wanted to say is that they are part of the games I would have wanted to play but never did. Sorry if it made you feel old 😅

I remember being stressed when I deactivated the S mode on my Surface Go 1 as if I was about to make a big mistake😅

That was way before (re)discovering Linux and installing Fedora on it.

Finally I’m seeing someone giving proof that games were more expensive back in the days.

Of course the gaming market was smaller, but I remember my parents buying me shitty games for a really high price.

I’m not asking for a price increase, but clearly games were more expensive in the 80-90-00s.

It’s so cool to see that Valve is really trying to make it as repairable as possible.

 

Hi everyone,

I’m a happy Fedora 38 user on my Surface Go 1.

In fact I’m so happy with it that I just wanted to clone the whole thing with Clonezilla and put it on my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro which has reached end of life support for MacOs.

Sadly on the Surface Go it’s almost impossible to boot from an USB drive (had to rely on windows recovery to do it the first time, might be usb-a to usb-c adaptor related) and I’ll really have to do a clean install on her Mac.

For such situations, I find it crazy that you don’t have an effective graphic tool to fo an easy backup. Especially because Fedora is so great for everything else.

You could say, use Timeshift, but it would mean doing some alterations I’m not at ease with as I don’t want to end up destroying the system I’m trying to backup and clone.

Does anyone know if it’s on the developers roadmap?

 

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend has a 2012 MacBook Pro and she can’t macOS updates anymore because it’s Applecrap.

So I’ll dualboot Fedora and MacOS. We’ll keep macOS just for a few exceptions like iPhone backup.

I already have a Fedora installation on my Surface Go 1 and I took a lot of time setting it up perfectly. Is there any way to « clone » that installation on the MacBook so that I don’t have to go through everything again?

 

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend has MacBook Pro from 2012 which has already been upgraded with more Ram and an SSD.

From what I understand, her OS (Catalina) has reached end of life in 2022 and doesn’t get any support from Apple anymore.

As that machine works perfectly, what should she do?

I hate Apple products (even if it’s painful for me to say that they’re good) and I’m a Linux enthusiast, so I’d tell her to install Fedora Asahi, but I wanted to know if the Apple enthusiast crowd had a better idea.

My girlfriend isn’t geeky at all (despite her geeky glasses) and she would want to stay in the safe environment provided by an Apple OS. But we also don’t want to replace that powerful machine as we hate programmed obsoletism.
