SA PC I'm switching to have a more stable experience and a console like one
Tif you want a console-like experience to where it boots into game mode, use the deck image
Tunless you have an Nvidia GPU
SI have a 6600 xt
KDeck will work on that one, just note that it will behave like a deck and boot straight to Game mode
SThat's what I want
SIs it fine to just select my windows OS drive?
CUff, the dream!
Tyes keep in mind, it will wipe everything on that drive
SWell I think I backed up everything on my OS drive that I cared about
Twhatever that Netac SSD 512GB has will be wiped. do take care to pay attention to which drive is checked
SWait what the hell it says it don't have enough space?
KYou've only selected the drive, you have to pick the reclaim space option
KThat's what deletes everything off of it
SRoot account? Yes or no?
Kno, normal account w/ admin checked
Kno root
SWhat do I put in the full name Field?
Hthe displayname you want for the account
Twhatever you feel like telling the OS your name is
Tsome people do real names. others do aliases
SAnd the username is what the OS uses for like commands?
CAt least when you reboot, everything is done, no "applying updates"... right?
T/home/USERNAMEHERE
KEh even plain (non-immutable) Fedora has the user reboot to do updates.
Tthe updates are staged while in session or during reboot, so I think the answer to your question as intended is yes
SLike this?
Tif you want to call yourself
useradd a password
CActually, @E-Waste Gamer I'll recommend you to call your username "deck"
CSome software and plugins expects your username is called deck
SAh nice catch
Tthis is going to be on their PC
SI'm using deck UI
TI do not agree with this
CYes but they want to use the deck image
Toh ok and yeah i dont agree either
Kbetter those extensions fix their shit than force people to use "deck" as their username
Tdecky, emudeck, retrodeck, whatever
Kit's very few of them
T@Kyle Gospo put in quite a bit of effort to not require
deck be the user nameTthey all should be fine with any username
CHow so? I think even @Aru has recommended this? Have been I lied? ��
Tit's old news
CAaaah I see
CDamn, everything moves so fast, hard to keep up, and I read everything here, everyday, sheesh
SIs a password required and would I need it to log in or is it just to authenticate stuff?
Tif we rewind about 20 months, then yeah, it's a valid recommendation
CAFAIK is just to authenticate stuff... right? Like Steam has the PIN system similar to the XBox
Tbut all of the reputable plugins and software have been updated to use
$HOME as needed
