day 1 billion of asking valve to sell the steam deck in australia 💀
day 1 billion of asking valve to sell the steam deck in australia 
Di want to grab vscode off arch, which arch do ya'll recommend for distrobox? regular arch? bazzite-arch?
Hsame with norway, its so stupidly marked up here by retail who import it
Rregular is fine
Ryeah the oled is like 1k aud here lol
Ractually
Rthe pricing from grey imports isn't that bad
Rour currency is
Rlol
Habout the same (this is NOK for reference)
Hjust divide by 10 for a rough (inaccurate) estimate for EUR and USD
Rit's at a 100usd markup compared to usa pricing which is probably right for australia
Rat least our consumer protections are better :)
Hsame
Rif you have a problem with a device you can take it to the retailer instead of having to deal with the manufacturer
WWe pay about $1,100 for the Steam Oled in South Africa
Ri've always liked that
Hbut hey oled 512gb deck for $950 is a steal right /s
Ri like the idea of portable gaming but i should just get a gpu upgrade lol
Ri'm on a 5700xt rn
Rwhich is okayish but i'm on 3440x1440
Hthe 5700xt is not bad though
Ryep
Rjust means that i have to turn down settings on newer games to medium or low
Rif i wanna get 100fps anyways
H1080p upscaled to 1440p
love gamescope
love gamescope
Rgamescope fsr is just fsr 1.0 afaik?
Ri mostly just stick to using the game's implementation (in most cases it's 2.1 or 2.2)
Ri wonder if we'll ever get the generated frames on linux
Hyeah gamescope is only fsr1 but its better than nothing

[A friend is installing bazzite and they said they've been stuck at this screen for at least five minutes. She actually killed it bc she assumed it was broken. I've installed Silverblue plenty of times but nothing as gigantic as Bazzite, how long should it be on this screen normally?
Rcould take a while
Hheck looking-glass uses fsr1 and its great for when its not drastic differences in resolution

W15 minutes+ easily
Ri haven't actually used any of the offline isos but when i used the online ones, it could take up to an hour depending on network conditions
Hread install guide, that portion takes a long time since it is installing the whole system image, once that is done the bar jumps to finished since there is no tracking between "deployment start" and "deployment finished" and we can do nothing about it
Mwhat is this 555 stuff
MI have nvidia lol
Rnvidia beta driver that implements explicit sync
Mis it the wayland stuff I Heard about XD
Rso no more flickering on wayland
Marr yes
Mit is
Hunlike normal distros that install bits and pieces at a time and can track how many packages are left to install we only have 1 package we can track
WMarko we'll be able to use wayland and game mode properly... someday.... maybe
Mlol
Mgame mode properly
MI dunno what is wrong with it
Rnvk and nova are progressing well, it could be sooner than you think lol
Mbut I guess I will get more out of my gpu when this occurs
Mso all good
