In 2023, I had 97% Linux with the only Windows games being Skyrim and Fallout 4 because of modding.

Now that I got modding to work on Linux I resolved to have 100% playtime on Linux for 2024. But Steam Replay says nothing because its still only one device :(.

Gaben, throw us a bone here pls.

Don't seek validation from corporations.

I hate this cat meme. I think that cat has untreated eye infections.

Its just a photoshop of the serious cat meme, no cats were harmed in the making of this meme... probably

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Thank you. I feel so much better now.

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This just looks cursed to me now

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This pic is photoshopped too. Cats have huge eyes, someone made them like 40% smaller

My cat looked like this when I'd cut onions. He was strongly affected by it and it would look like he was crying.

I switched to Linux after the Recall junk, and one drive kept trying to sync my files when the PC was idle. (One drive was disabled!!!!)

It’s weird that the graph does not show my steam deck at all. I got it around launch, then got my wife one too. Now she runs Linux on her computer too.

Google photos on Android keeps syncing my images even when it was disabled. You can't trust these guys.

Welcome to Windows. Basically the entire operating system is malware at this point.

First year without Windows on the chart 😅

[–] atlas@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

it's impressive you managed to make the second one look like the steam deck logo

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago

Mine says 99% Steam Deck and 1% Linux, which is weird considering they're the same thing.

But probably 50% was on my desktop, which also shows up as Steam Deck under Bazzite.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Next year, play on a generic desktop Linux distribution as well as Steam Deck. They'll show up as distinct platforms:

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Steam Deck is not available in my country :/

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There is expected to be an announcement at CES that Valve is partnering to bring other vendors into making SteamOS handhelds, so you likely will get your chance at something soon.

Ooh, the secretest of achievements! So secret, even QA missed it!

I'll have to try for that in 2025. Gonna be wiping Windows over Christmas.

[–] chronotron@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i doubt it says anything if you played 100% on windows

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago

Mine certainly didn't show any kind of OS breakdown. I would have thought if you didn't use more than 1 OS, it probably just skips showing you the stats.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

Its funny that only people who didnt play 100% of games on linux(excluding steamdeck) can make posts about how much they played on linux

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

100% on Steam Deck. No pie charts for me 😒

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just a circle is technically a pie chart.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s no circle. The graph simply doesn’t display if there’s only one category. That’s how it was for me too when I was 100% Steam Deck.

Nope, it’s a pie.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, what changed with Skyrim modding?

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Technically you could mod these games on Linux but it was a bit wonky. So I preferred to play these on Windows with MO2.

Then I started using Steam Tinker Launch to setup and run MO2 on Linux and thus stopped using Windows.

However STL does not seem to be getting updates these days so I now use this for modding Skyrim, Fallout, etc: https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer

Edit: Nexus mods are also working on a cross-platform app for modding, though its still in alpha. Currently only a few games are supported with support for more coming soon.

Anyone know if Bazzite counts as Steam Deck or Linux as it uses Big Picture Mode by default?

Also if you run Windows or Bazzite on a Steam Deck does that count as Steam Deck or just Windows and Linux?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Bazzite counts as a Steam Deck when you're playing in Steam mode, Linux when in desktop mode.

[–] Link@rentadrunk.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Is that the same on SteamOS?

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It counts Bazzite as SteamOS.

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well damn. Between Android gaming and Steam Deck, I guess I did, too.
