BCM4360 doesn’t work reliably for me even to this day

Now imagine Linux withmitigations=off

I had to set up an app on Wine + macOS, the app spawns bg processes that have a window (on Wine, not on Windows) for some reason and each time that happens the main window app loses focus. Couldn’t solve it. On Linux + Plasma Wayland the problem is inverse ie. even the main window doesn’t have an icon on taskbar, if you minimize it you can restore with only Alt + Tab.

people who install Windows on their Steam Deck?

I see this way too often, nearly half of the 2nd hand Decks sold here have Windows🤷‍♂️

Correct me if I am wrong: If you use steam console to download an old version of the game, regardless of currently installed version, steam downloads the whole game. Let’s say I was on v2.1, the game received an update v2.2 and I downloaded it normally through Steam, this downloads only the difference between 2.1 and 2.2. Let’s say I have 2.2, the game doesn’t use the “betas” feature and I want to downgrade the game. Steam ignores the current 2.2 install and downloads 2.1 in its entirety.
